I was just kidding because we are so far away. I have a dry sense of humor some times.
I was not kidding about it being nice to meet up with others though. I have yet to do so. I'll see about getting some time and money so I can make that happen in the future since it does seem most of you are not close to me. Maybe one of the larger LR events or something.
OR, if any of you plan a trip to the Sacramento/Reno/South Lake Tahoe areas, let me know. I'm not too far away from those.

The Dusy trail is in the Sierra National forest, it's not really far from your town. You might need to do a few extra things to your truck, the Dusy Ershim trail looks rough in some places, FWIW I'll be on 35's for that trip
Although I saw a few guys from the Cali Land rover club that did it in a D2 on 33's.

Free Bumper Upgrade
About a month ago, A friend's son backed into my daughter's D2 and shattered the bumper cover, turn signal,and tweaked the fender on the driver's side. Since we have only had it a year and had broken the bumper cover twice before this and replaced it once with an expensive new one, there was no way I was going to put another piece of brittle plastic back on it. I was able to talk their insurance company and the body shop into replacing it with an $1100 ARB winch bumper by applying all the bumper related costs toward the ARB. In the end, it worked out to be no extra cost. Score! Now if I could get someone to hit the passenger side front door where the previous owner had gouged it...

Well that is one way to get a ARB bumper. That's awesome!

Recovery Vehicle
Got closer to being finished with my rear bumper install. Still doing little knit-picky things to it. I chose to remove the swing away altogether as it wasn't nearly as good of a setup as just having my D44 tire carrier to hold the tire.
Still need to touch up some spots here and there, but considering what shape the bumper was in when I got it, it's amazing now.
(Also no, that antenna isn't mounted there. I was just messing around while trying to decide what to do with the rod the swing away carrier used. )

Just finished removing the headliner. Both front drains broken off.. surprise. Rear ones are loose. Rear motor seized. Front still works. Ill.be buying a couple used ones off of evilbay just to have. Headliner will go for recover once all leaks and possible leaks are repaired. Any suggestions on possible leaks I should fix regardless?
