Another great HIH, thanks again to the organizers! Met a bunch of awesome people!
Coilovers performed better than I had thought they would, stay tuned for an install/review thread.

So I still have a couple days till I have to head back to the land of corn and soybeans....Indiana. So I thought I'd continue my Hundreds in the Hills adventure with the same 100, but different hills. Rolled into town about 1030 pm. Temp....88.

See that hairpin switchback in the trail above your driver's headlight? My group ran that section backwards (towards the wall from above it) and I swore I was about to roll. That's the only time I have ever gassed it to avoid - what I felt like was - a potential rollover. Took the turn too tight, left wheel dove down, thought I was about to eat dirt, gave it gas and stayed upright. It was probably a lot less dramatic than it felt, but I had a surge of adrenaline and a momentary pucker. I have a silly roll angle gauge in the car and I've hit ~40 degrees and not freaked out, but I bet that gauge maxed out at 45 for a second there this year because I was scared out of my mind.

Fun times, haha.

@aaronrules I may have yelped at this point.

Oh yes you did! I heard it while I was butt puckering at this very moment!

Mentioned I bent my transmission mount on the wall. Turns out that was just a byproduct of completely tearing my driver motor mount.

Spotted 3 hundy's, one with a trailer, on eastbound I70 near Abilene, KS on my way home from work. Had to be an HIH convoy. Keep trucking' guys and enjoy the ever-changing weather of eastern Kansas!

@aaronrules you scared me on this one bud. It’s hard to tell from the pic but your driver rear is way up there. It ended up going a little further then the pic shows. I know that had to feel wild. I honestly thought you were gone man.

That was the wildest thing I saw all week.

I decided not to follow your line on that one
