Bummer, I have enjoyed watching your build. On the bright side there are far worse places to be stuck at.

I am not a big fan of the beach. Don't want to learn how Surf.

I am planning on taking my son on our last annual Ridgecrest race on April 11th. We have made each year since we moved here in 2011. Then she will go up for sale. :( I do plan to save up a pretty sizable truck fund while I am there. Then all shit will hit the fan when I get back. I have 3-4 years to come up with an idea for new project. :D

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the beach either. Although I love Lake Havasu lol.

I just wanted to give you an excuse to come further south so I could check out your rig in person.

Next project. Stretched and linked canti Bronco with a custom softtop!!

You're gonna have to build a 1993 Toyota SR5 with 44" Swampers and an Exo-Cage. They love that kinda shit over in the islands.

Bummed to hear you couldn't figure something else out. If you wanna go AWOL you can hide in my garage. I'll leave the bronco in there so you have something to do.

Maybe I will build a TTB cantilevered Expedition. As much as I hate them they look good and are the right size.

Now that sounds like a project!! There was a pic of a mezzy set up posted in Tony's expedition thread. Totally within your capabilities!!

Why do you hate them?

Just a bad experience with the one my wife had. Little issues nothing major. But little things drive me nuts. Even though I hated it, I would have built it if it wasn't rusted in some spots underneath.

Note: I am drunk posting.Not sure if the language being used is ok here.


FUCK FOA and their customer service. Pretty Sure JD answers the phone and he is a lying SOB. After 7 months of crap I have received 1 shock. ONE. After his punk ass told me he sent two in one box. Fucking Liar!!!!! Plus There was no misalignment spacers returned with my ONE shock. Just tell the damn truth! Is it that hard. You apparently sell shit products which I was stupid enough to buy. Shame on me. Will not happen again.

On a happy note SteveG you rock. Dude hooked it up at rugged. Thanks man.

I get drunk about once every two years. The FOA crap and moving to Hawaii has put me over the edge.

Damn that's crap to hear about FOA. Just found out the bypassespecially I bought need to have the bypass tubes fixed. They were leaking. I was expecting it with FOAs reputation but was hoping I lucked out. Although the guy I bought them off of is going to take care of that for me.So I won't give up hope just yet.

Pat-- why did you change the lower beam mount? Did you do a c&t or just change the mounts? Do you know how many inches taller over stock you are running?
