    I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on ToyTec BOSS 3″ Lift Kit to achieve more ground clearance with decent suspension boost. I got the idea from Wanderlost Overland video. Anyone else roll with this kit?

    Elmira is just North of Veneta, very close to Fern Ridge Lake on Hwy 126, heading west out of Eugene. Mapleton is at the intersection of Hwy 36 and 126, a logging town on the Siuslaw river, which flows out at Florence.
