Thanks.

How do you like your dakar rear springs?

They are everything I heard they would be, hell for stout, great droop, and squeaky as a mofo. I don't really mind the squeak that much. At some point I might install good isolators but I'm not in a hurry.

Now we just need to figure out how to store a Teton Mammoth sleeping bag inside. So far no luck...

Our pit stop before heading in to Yellowstone (Cody, WY)

If you every pass through recommend visiting the Buffalo Bill Center of the West museum. Filled with ton of history, weapons, art, etc.
