yes, then you wont shy away from trails





but what do you mean??? either you are or you have been !

i had my share of fun, and i think i handled my own for my first even. the clutch is going in, the u-joint is fixed. i am good to go. i believe it is all about the lines you take, and perhaps it was beginners luck...but i didn't rub anything. not even a brush guard! haha...just joking with ya lee! just joking.

Hey, no laughing, it took a lot of restraint for everyone to hold back and not totally burn Pat. I mean, he seemed concerned about a smooth mound of dirt and skipped it, we were VERY nice to him!

If I had skipped that I don't think I would ever live it down! Now that I think about it, you skipped out on that shallow mud-puddle that you got video of me in! I let you off since it was your first time, hehehe.

Amir, bring that 85 on Saturday, it will be a good break-in run!

haha. hey! i tackled that hill. no real hessitation on doing so. and you have already stated that even YOU feel that the pit was a lot more than the video showed it to be. haha. besides...eric got stuck for a second there in it...could you imagine me in there with stock goodies, and a heavier truck? and i must admit..you did go easy on pat. but atleast he came/will come again. haha.

looks good lee! congrats. I wonder if a OME lift would soften up my ride...my Bilstein HDs are too bouncy and stiff

thanks man. ive never experience the hd bils w/out lift of course, but i have to say that with my setup, they are much better than stock. now that ive gotten used to the new center of gravity and the increased height, i realize how much better it handles and feels.

a guy at autozone talked to me about my truck and his truck (he has a 98 tacoma, stock suspension with revos). really nice guy, and it certainly felt good to know he waited by my truck in the heat for me to come out just so he could talk trucks

any vibration issues around 60mph on freeway? So would you say that your new setup is softer than stock?
