Sorry to hear about your pooch. He looked adorable! I though it was, he just looked very large. I was just curious, I'm sure now one of the pictures that wow'd me was when you were in Utah, saw some of the huge red rock that is out there, I'm from Michigan so rarely have been able to see land like that except on a trip to L.A to drop my sister off at college and I was just on a learning permit back then. Now that I'm 20 and have a an XTerra, I'd love to make it out there to do some wheeling around! My GF and I are going to take a 4 day mini vacation here soon and just go somewhere, might make our way out there. But hey, maybe you can help me, I want to lift my X right away, and have a shop/and or my brother who will help me put it on, but idk what one to get. Rancho 2.5, Calmini 3", or if there are any others I should be looking into. Any recommendations? What do you have?
