Idaho BS thread in the PNW

What do you guys think of this? I'm wondering if he may have seized up his tranny or something. I just find it odd that his driveshaft would blow up in two places and that there would be a smell. I don't want to jump the gun and tell him to get his tranny checked when it may be fine though.

I don't think one occurence can be considered a 2nd gen problem... haha

 

Going with another tacoma and that grey dodge with the exhaust leak tomorow to watch a dodge 'real truck' climb that first hill I never made it up last weekend

I'll try to remember my camera and take a video or picture or two. I honestly dont think the dodge will fit crewcab fullsize. Idk how hard the 2nd gen RCSB is going to wheel either..

Im going to old man drive mine I washed it up nicely

(All taking place at spokane orv 9 mile) if anyone wants to partake in the activities lol

 

He might make it with the help of all the autozone stuff thats on it lol

The chevy mans not taking his junk it rattles or shakes real bad idk whats wrong with it I think hes riding passenger with yours truly...

 

That makes more sense for the most part. I think it will make more sense when I regear an get to tear it all down and see it for myself. The rear was simple and made sense now that I have installed my locker. Clamshells are a whole new thing to me.

 

You guys bored and in need of a great read?

Check this shit out!

Found it from this thread:

were your leafs completely flat?

 

dunno honestly haha. but that would be a compression issue, not an extension one

 

I mean, to see if your leafs were the limiter or the shock



or....i didnt read that that side didnt have a shock on it haha

if it was the limiter........itd probably have pissed itself

 

here ya go guys, im sure you will enjoy this. here is me flexing on a jeep on 33s lol. All the tuner guys we were with thought it was pretty sweet looking, score one for toyota.








I also have reason to believe my shocks are limiting my axle droop...if they were limiting the droop would they have broken by now? I say that because when I was up on his tire my wheel wasnt even off the ground, the side that doesen't have a shock at the moment....so it almost seems like the shocks are too short. am i crazy?

ya lol. the side that was drooped out does not have a shock on it (didn't even leave the ground), as i am waiting on the lower washer to arrive. Compared to when i flexed out my truck wheeling it seems like the tire drooped more without the shock.

 

theres more variables to flex though,
angle
whether or not there was weight in the bed
blah
blah
blah


in other news, im looking at getting a set of VFF komodosports...

 

Oh shit! OZ laughed!....thoes bastards are wrong!

 

And another.....is the world coming to an end???!!!

 

k so according to your variables...no weight either time, and angle...wtf does that have to do with it lol. with the shock when I went wheeling i got in a rut and i had a couple feet from my tire to the ground, so pretty flexed out. When I was on the heap, it just looked like my tire was getting closer to dropping below the fender (more flex) and it wasn't even off the ground


and DO IT on the komomodosports. If you can, go try them on. Both the Komodosport and komodosport LS and see which one you like better. I got the LS a little while ago and adore them haha. But its almost a fact that if you just order them online the sizing will be wrong and you will have to send them back for a different size.

naw, thats my buddy zach, aleks now has a 1.8l turbo audi wagon. thing is fucking classy as hell!

HA! Awesome.

 

There could be the difference between your two tires touching the ground are now level whereas they probably weren't before. Although if you are just basing droop off of how low the tire hangs below the fender then that probably isn't it.

 

If your shocks are too short, it will eventually cause them to start leaking if you repeatedly max them out.

When you have the front flexed out like that as much as possible, put a tape measure to the shock mounts that are missing the shock. That would give you the extended length which you can compare to the shock's extended length.

What is the part number on your bilstein shock for that side? The part number will be written on the shock body. We can tell the compressed and extended lengths from that number.

 

Thinking about buying a 12 valve dodge cummins.....

 

Where the hell is Monte? I miss him

 

I will have those someday...

I have the 520xl pro with a 5' Firestik..

Mine is hugely tall..hahaha

NICE!

YEs. Most likey they are. But if you get a longer shock. You need longer bump stops so you loose up travel..or you relocate the shocks all together.

Been at a jazz fest. Was fun. Came back to 8 PMs about random stuff lol and like 130 new posts in threads....lot of catching up to do..


and this thread when to derp central..i love how in 6.5 pages..you posted 2 time lol

 

This old guy has it in his barn and said he wants to get rid of it because he doesnt use it. I asked him how much he wants and he goes ohh I dont know maybe a couple grand. Its only got 64 k miles on it! I think I'm gonna buy it, fix it up a little and sell it.
