obviously i'm going to lean on a caledonia selection, lol, but i'm not sure i'll be back in time anyways (extended family christmas back in the middle of the state). 84th street pub might be a good option too, nice and close to the freeway.

much better for motorcycles - everyone i've ever talked to that moved down to florida pretty much gave up riding on pavement because they fear for their lives with all the crazy drivers down there.

Got a note to say Hello !

Hello !

Seems most of you guys live Up North...Im down by the Metro D Area.
Been planing to travel north since I moved to MI.

New to the X here on the US, drove them out overseas, great SUV, sold my FJ to get the X, now Im doing all the mods, I look at my vehicles as Bug Out so I enjoy camping and doing the outdoor stuff once in awhile.

Looking right now for a 3 inch lift, but cnt seem to find any of a reasonable price...but been working on the rest.

Well thats it for now..sorry n pics, i dont care for cloud stuff like photbucket, on the FJ forum it was part of the forum.

Hope to meet some of you guys in the future.

right on, i put a 3" leveling kit under the front of my truck, whats referred to as a "mini-pack" that i got on eBay.. think it was like $120, plus the shop rate to let me install it (a case of beer). it's been great so far.

if you upgrade your front end i may be interested in your current bumpers if i keep my truck.
