Another East Coaster! 
Hatboro, PA to Outer Banks sounds like a long drive. I still haven't been down there, I'd like to sometime.

Welcome! Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't you one of the original lifted TBs on the OS? Good to have you and hope you can make it to Wharton the upcoming weekend.

HIYA!!!
Early SuspensionMAXX adopters were "special." Boy did folks look at us like we were crazy. And the OS was all about lowering, urban, audio-assault, show & shiny ones.

A few of us needed a place to unwind and escape from all the useless noobs on the OS, as we call the "Other Site". Where we made the rules, not had them imposed from above. And when trailvoy got bought out by new owners whose intentions are likely to be more ad-revenue-driven and paid-membership-driven, it made sense to talk about having a enthusiast-owned lifeboat where the functional offroaders could hang out and continue to communicate even if the OS imploded. But I don't have the technical chops to start up a site like this - thank Teebes and James Downing as the core for that. And now Mario.

33's sure are the new "standard" when the state of the art moved to 35's. I continue to shake my head at size creep.

Yeah!... what happened, I was pushing the limits with the 32" not too long ago! I'm being left behind with my still-plenty-of-tread-left M/Ts now!
Maybe I'll hit the 33" mark next... 255/80/17...
