Somehow, I think Carmen knows the difference of building supplies to link kits and bypass shocks on the statement :lol: :lol: :lol:

You could just tell Carmen if you link it she can jump it further, she might actually skip the bathroom build! LOL

I'd secretly register the Bronco in Carmen's name, that way when there is any issue over clandestine parts purchases; "But Honey, its for YOUR car". :lol: :lol:

Well, I actually bent the frame at the bumpstops from that hard hit in Pismo. Haha! Definitely not enough rate in the springs now that the cage is in. Wow! It's like stock all over again.

No, but there were witnesses. The same hit took out Jeff's Bronco, sent Rick's front end almost straight up, almost caused Nick to blow out his depends and last year wasted Parish's ball joint. Haha! It caught me by surprise and didn't look as bad as it was.

Sure! Steal my thunder Scott. Haha!


Well, it does sit a little high in the back, but should settle down a little bit. Definitely feels better. Less wet noodle, but not harsh at all. Was going to hold off on the revalve, but after hitting a couple bumps, I think it will still need a bit more compression. All bleed screws are going back in too.

I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

Thanks Randy. You could say that, but it's actually just a custom pack. The mains are a bit thicker. Hardly any noticeable axle wrap. Not planning to put the 2 link back on.
