    Sigh...my K5s are sitting out in a field, and my 3/4 axles for one of the builds are sitting on jack stands in front of my out-building. I wish I had the time and money to get working on these projects because I would sure like to go. I spent way too much money on finishing up my firearm purchases the last few years.

    My new suspension gets delivered this week. I think it'd be a good idea to have this meeting at my house where the members can help me install everything. You know, just to make sure they know their stuff.

    Well, feel free to come shoot the shit and meet some folks in the meantime. The multi-day expeditions are probably gonna be on hiatus until May as it is. The snow's already starting to cut off access to a lot of alpine routes.

    Wheel, set up camp, shoot, drink beer. If that's your kind of party, come on down.

    I'm just refreshing my Amigo, nothing special. I don't think it's ever been maintained, so I'm doing a combination of replacing parts and needed maintenance. The last, only, time I went wheeling with guys off the board, I jumped the Amigo and pretty much trashed the shocks. After that the rear readily bottomed out and the tires started cupping pretty badly.

    New shocks all around
    New rear springs
    New HD torsion bars up front
    Change rear diff fluid and gasket
    Extended brake line bracket in rear
    All new ball joints up front, as well as an upper ball joint flip.
    Looks like I'll need new CV boots on both sides as well.
    I think I ordered low profile bump stops, but now I'm reading something saying I should have taller ones since the shocks will be longer.
    Depending on how firm the new ride is, I'll either get greasable sway bar bushings, or remove them completely.
    Need to figure out how to change the fluid on the front diff as well.
    Alignment after lift.

    Did I see this posted in a certain FB group dedicated to a specific military unit? Or am I going crazy? (Most likely both).
    Just call me 47
