Have fun Angie! Don't forget the store too! This is from 2 years ago when Chris and I stayed at the Lake Isabella KOA and rode all the way to Jawbone via Red Rock Canyon, Dove Springs etc... 120mi + round trip by ourselves in 106 deg heat!!! We were pretty dumb for doing it, but man did we have fun.:eek:

Ride safe and see you at Soboba.

Man that sounds like a blast! I was out in Jawbone for July 4th and it was well in to the 100s...115F max I believe. It'll be much cooler this trip. We will definitely make a run to the Jawbone Store. They'll have live bands there for New Years. Will post pictures after the week!

Hope you guys are well! Tell Chris I said hi! See you guys at Soboba!

Angie, I am sorry to say my Commander is in a bad way. I took it in to install Long Travel that I had waited months for. Only because I thought it would take me a week with work to get it installed. And I would have to get someone over with a welder at least a couple of times. The plan was get it installed in time to ride with all of you for this once a year trail.

Well the install was like a bad plastic surgery where you have to do three surgeries to try to fix the one bad one and it will never be the same.

I have to take everything apart and not only start over but get the rear swing arm out pull the bearings have it sandblasted and re power coated due to large scratches. Then after grinding and cutting the welding out that was just done hopefully without compromising the frame and then weld up at least one hole that was drilled into my new frame for no reason and grind and paint that. Then it will be time to address a tie rod issue, boot issue, camber issue, toe issue, and a few other issues.
So as you can see it will be weeks if not months before I am up and going.

Sorry and have a great time.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year.

Bryan,

Sorry to hear about your Commander.

Let me know if there is anything I can do. We've got a welder at the shop and are pretty handy when it comes to side-by-sides. We're also not too far from you!

Hope you're back out riding soon!

Angie.
