Kansas Meet

yep, thats the place.

 

Hey guys I'm going to try and make it. I'm going early to have my BFG A/T's put on at The tire store then I'm suppose to meet up with the guy that is guying my Nitto's that are on the truck now. I told my brother in-law I would help him put a leveling kit on his F150. So I can't promise I will be there but I will try to be there to check everyone's rig's out.

 

No worries, I'm already looking at another meet sometime after memorial day weekend. Maybe a meet and mod/bbq someplace.

 

hey going to try to make it to old town. but have to wait for the wife to get home. how long you goin to be there. if someone could either shoot me a number or let me know if u r goin to be able to get on from ur phone so i can get in contact with ya

 

Got switched to night shift and just woke up. I don't think I'll be able to make this one. Sorry! Doesn't it suck when work/life gets in the way of fun!

 

It's cool dude, we had fun without ya.
Just kidding, well catch ya next time.

 

Josh and Troy, Good to meet up with you guys. Hope we can do another meet soon. After Labor Day or maybe some time in October would be good. Maybe we can go to KC rocks park in Eastern Kansas. Nice rigs you have there boys.

 

It was great meeting you too dude. Your truck sound sweet by the way.
Hope we can get together again soon and hang out maybe when it's not so damn hot!

 

Glad you people had a good time!

I already had a trip to Table Rock planned this weekend otherwise I would have spoke up and met a few of ya.

Keep this thread alive for when you plan the next one and I'll attempt to get there.

 

Hey guys, sorry I couldn't make it last week-end. I was having these new tires put on my truck and ran out of time. I want to try to make it to the next get together though.

Here are a couple pic's I just took the other day after lifting my truck back up. It sits at about 2.5" now, was at 1.5" before, after taking it down from 3" originally. I lowered it down from 3" before because I was getting the growling and vibrations at 40-45mph like a lot of guys get. Do you guys get any of that with your lifts? I have a very slight vibration at about 40 now, but no growling sounds. Before I had a 3" top plate spacer on which wasn't good for those upper ball joints and would top out the suspension easy. Now I have a 1.5" top plate spacer and the 5100's set at .85 Also I just put a new set of BFG A/T's back on last week-end 275/70r17. One thing I have noticed are that these BFG's do wonder more and I get some minor steering wheel shake from time to time, compared to the Nitto Terra Grapplers which were on it before when it sat at 1.5"
All my old photos in my profile are from when my truck had the 3" lift with the 285's on it.

 

Nice dude, I'm thinking of trying to do another meet sometime after Labor day, let me know whats good for you guys.

 

We are trying to have one in St. Louis in Aug 29th. if anyone is interested you can follow the thread under STL meet.

 

I'd be down for one. Williamsburg isn't far from home and the bbq there is really good. Sorry I missed the last one. Work has been crazy lately and summer activities have been overwhelming. I haven't posted on here forever.

 

No worries, it was a good meetup, hoping to get more of a turnout and some wheeling in on this one, when is a good weekend for you guys? (after labor day)

 

Hows it goin guys i just found this thread! I live in derby and i would like to join in the festivities as well! I just sold two jeeps to join the taco world. I have a 2010 sport DC no mods yet but soon i hope! Ive been to both tuttle creek and kansas rocks and they are both great! I would also be down for a wichita meet someday too so i could see some mods first hand instead of pictures only ! Thanks guys

 

Welcome to TW!

 

welcome dude, looking at a daytrip somewhere to do some wheeling after labor day sometime. Gents, chime in with your availability.

 

Kansas City, here. I'm definitely up for a meet 'n greet and maybe some wheelin. I'd love to get together with some guys and just shoot the $#!t, if nothing else. Also, I'm anxious to get a good look as some suspension mods in person. I'm still less than a week old in my Tacoma Ownership life. Pictures on the internet are great, but first hand can't be beat.

Perhaps the person that started this thread can edit the title to something like "Kansas/Missouri Meet". That might draw the attention of a couple/few more people. Just a thought...

 

Been to KSRocks in Jeep or Taco?

 

Ive only been there in a jeep I havent had a chance to take the taco out yet , hopefully soon! But from what i remember its a pretty good place to go wheelin! The same goes for tuttle too. Going to tuttle from the cassody exit on the turnpike is a great drive also, its a scenic byway through the flint hills! Tuttle has some good camping spots that are close and im not sure about ksrocks the last time i was there they were talking about putting in some campgrounds but not sure if they went through with it.
