Offroad magazine's FIRST good tech article
Well I thought the day would never come but it's finally arrived. Usually when I get my Offroad mag in the mail I just toss it straight in the trash because I don't really care how to change the air filter on a 04 Ram or how to "chip" a Tacoma. But just for the heck of it I flipped through it. You've got your regular stupid blinged out trucks, what sort of coilovers were new at SEMA, 1000 pages of adds, the new Nissan Titan write up, and then WHAM!!! All of a sudden I stumbled across gold! Well, not gold to me but still a sign that there might just be a little bit of usefulness in this mag yet, besides starting a patio fire. There's an article about how to REMOVE a body lift!!! I couldn't believe it. I would have been surprised to see these guys talk about anything that involved more than wing nuts. But here it is, grinders and wrenches even!!! Plus they're actually suggesting that people scrap their body lifts! Oh I'm so excited . . .

Even I can laugh at that one Bee . . . so true. The only reason I noticed the article is because they have a shot in there of the cab put back on the frame with the box on the body lift. It looked funnnaaay ghetto so I had to see what it was all about.

And they didn't LEAVE it like that?! I'm shocked! They could have started a whole new fad!
'Yea, I got a body lift on the bed to clear 44's, but I couldn't afford 4 of them, so I left 31's on the front. Wanna hit the mall?'

I don't buy any of them any more if I wanted to know how to build a rock crawler then maybe, and if I was interested in a chebbie I would go to the mall, but for mud the best tech is my own.
