I'll install everything for you for $750 if you can get it to MissouriThinking about this purchase, I realized that I didn't suggest using my current Icon rear springs. They're in great shape, the right height and I like the ride. I called Mudify back and Eddie, the owner, absolutely agreed and actually felt bad that he didn't think about repurposing the rear springs. So he refunded me the cost of the springs for the rear from the total. I got back $243.35 from the total above.
That'll go towards the install, which is going to be over $1500.00.

Its an Army post. Lots of folks went to basic there.My 10mm Glock will have my back.
Ah, a real base. That sounded like some kind of ghost village in the woods.

To some, that's one and the same.
It was awful enough my Dad would only let me enlist in the chAir Force.

. The towns surrounding it are pretty rough. The rest of the Ozarks outside of the fort are unspoiled and beautiful though! And a 9mm will do just fine down here, we don't have any dangerous game.

If my wife wasn't working right now, I'd seriously consider a road trip out there! Although, would probably wait till fall when it cools down.I'll install everything for you for $750 if you can get it to Missouri
Last time I was in MO was for a business trip back in the late 1980's.

Several years ago, I was in an Army LNO class and we had two LTC's teaching, one Air Force, the other Army.To some, that's one and the same.
It was awful enough my Dad would only let me enlist in the chAir Force.
With the class being all Army, the Air Force LTC told us after our class's first "Hooah", is that the Army yells, "Hooah!" and the Air Force yells, "Hilton!"
Rolla? Actually lots to do nearby...but the .mil and .local cultures are often imbalanced...so a friendly approach is important. Otherwise Route 66 hospitality through that area is outstanding overall. Some people don't understand Missouri.I went to undergrad college not far from the fort. Heading over there to watch movies or visit other institutions was always interesting

Our house on the Gasconade River was often visited by small cats(Puma concolor), so we switched to .357 around the house.
Yes, and I grew up a ways farther south in MO, near the AR border. It took all of 5.5 years of me living outside of the Ozarks to make my way back, and now I'll never leave
. Pumas are getting a bit more common around here as well...or perhaps folks are seeing more due to the proliferation of game cameras. The towns immediately surrounding Ft. Wood are indeed quite unique. Such as....the Uranus Fudge Factory (I kid you not), which is in the parking lot of what was (in the aughts) a gentlemen's establishment frequented by servicemen. It's a different place

What a stinky name for a candy shop.The towns immediately surrounding Ft. Wood are indeed quite unique. Such as....the Uranus Fudge Factory (I kid you not), which is in the parking lot of what was (in the aughts) a gentlemen's establishment frequented by servicemen. It's a different place
Does one even want to ask how the fudge is made?

I love the route 66 stuff. So much was inspired by the space program...You'll have to stop by on a trip to MO and find out! Ultimately it's just I-44 roadside attraction like the Route 66 ones that preceded it
Took this outside of Chesterfield.
We have quite a few original sections of it left in MO. Actually by Ft. Wood (and the aforementioned Fudge Factory), there is a really cool section crossing the Big Piney where you have a original Route 66 1920s steel bridge, that was replaced by a 1950s 4-lane (pre-interstate system, but still Route 66) pair of bridges (just west of what were at that time the deepest road cuts in the USA), that was then replaced by a pair of 1970s I-44 interstate bridges. All 5 bridges are still open for traffic. The 1920s bridge is by far my favorite.
I lived in Glendora for a few years. Need to get a strawberry donut from The Donut Man next time I'm back.
Now that the thread is fully de-railed from topic I feel less guilt for continuing the trend.
About an hour southeast of Ft. Leonard Wood, in another town...This was the first year (2006) for both (Block, Pastrana) on the new team.
Some random...
Sorry...back to finding a taker for your old shocks.
