San Diego BS Thread.

I am a huge fan of the Duratracs for sure, I will continue to buy them. I have the c rated version which is a little lighter tires with a slightly less enforced side wall. ran is at 12-15 psi all weekend in the susperstition trip with no issues.

 

I kinda want to do a projector retrofit since they dont make any drop in headlights for my years already projector style.

Wheres the best place to start and has anyone local done it?

 

Kevinthefawker was talking about it last time I saw him. Hit him up

 

Hey Micah, just out of curiosity...where the hell you been ?? Haven't seen much of ya & I think you've posted more in the last 2 days than you have the last 2 years haha

truck is still looking great too BTW

 

Got tired of the site for a while so I was off it and laying low.

I want to actually do stuff with other members again like trail runs and camping.. but we have a lack of leadership it seems in the SD area for that stuff.

Lets get a thread started on it.

 

A member PS'd this.
I have 3 votes (including mine) that say what it is now looks better, and this version has no votes.

 

I miss the 2 run tuesdays, only had a couple of those but hell 2 a week for a long time... Fucking Matt took all event mojo with him when he moved as i figured it'd go..... Dude I'd love to hit a trail..

Hi Connor As humbled as i am by your nomination, I will have to respectively decline as it is imperitive that a running vehicle be available....

 

Oh, well in that case give me a captain's hat....land-ho...

I'd get the OEM shit Gabe if I was you, It's different for sure, not really grease, well let me take that back, it's a type of grease, maybe synthetic but it feels alot different than standard petroleum base lube, pretty sure you can get just that at stealership

 

Shhh. Don't tell bobby....

 

What do you need again?

 

Get a molly based High pressure grease, Redline makes a very good CV specific grease but pricey.

 

use mobile one synthetic or any axle joint grease don't over think it. LS3 powered buggies use this simple stuff too.

 

I have found different results, on my old buggy the cheaper grease turned into liquid at high heat and broke down really fast, I even boiled it before! And this led to a complete CV failure where the cage actually blew apart.
The best stuff you can find can be bought at Caterpillar Equipment shops, there is one in Esco near Mission and Nordahl.

Comes in a tube for a grease gun, its called Desert Gold, it was about $25 per tube, best stuff you can get, probably way overkill for a Toyota, but I have tested this stuff in my buggy and it was 100x better than anything else I have ever used.

Just my .02

 

Desert Gold is very good, if you can find it, I have used it before, the redline CV2 is the same formula

Nice to know, heard about the Redline stuff too but never tried it, the Cat shop was near where I had to get some steel so it was on the way and ended up with that, worked really good.
