went to assateague island on the east coast of maryland. fees were worth it since i frequent ocean city 5 or 6 times a year and its minutes away. was able to test the 1 inch longer control arms break line stress(added inch longer brackets and relocated e brake mounting)and axle tc case fitting. everything worked very well, no issues at all. had full extension and compression over whoops the waves carved out,even some air a few times(daughters favorite part of the trip). it was a different type of wheelin but a great time.they even had alot of airing stations at hand.

You're attaching them to this site, though. I host my own pics on my webspace... but photobucket should upload them without resizing THAT much. Can you post a link to the photobucket page where your pics are? You should be able to upload them to PB and then just LINK on here.

Nice, looks like a fun beach trip. And your rig is looking badass dude! :cheers: :thumleft:

And I also use PB, I have them resized to 600x800 I believe, but you can pic whatever size you want, then copy/paste the img code over here and it links it up nice. No attaching necessary.

Nice! What was the total cost? I think when I looked it up it was like $130?

How was the crowd? Did you get there early enough to miss it? I went out there last time with the hopes of going on the beach, but there were already cars in line.

If you want to directly post the pics on here... go to the picture in Photobucket, click on the Direct Link option, it will copy the URL into your clipboard. Come here, click on the IMG tag and paste the URL between the tags...
