Florida B.S. Thread

Yeah I don't know I seen a video of a keep roll out there shortly after the park opened and it might be a little dryer this week so who knows oh and this park is maybe 20 minutes from my house

 

Have any of yall woke up and just hate everyone in the world?

That's me today.
Especially after spending 45 mins on the phone with @Alfuh, explaining what a fan clutch is.


haha jk

 

I know seriously....talking to some ass that thinks he knows EVERYTHING and I know nothing

hahaha lol, thanks for all the help though with my secret goodies

 

I feel bad for alfuh for being stuck on the phone with jon. His ears must have been bleeding after that

 

I think my ears are bleeding from his squeeky voice hahaha

and your secrets?!?!?!?! i already gave them out

 

So I was hoping to get some thoughts on a subject that has been beaten to death... Going to finally upgrade the suspension and went with the 5100s all around. Found mixed reviews of using the stock coils at the 2.5 setting causing a "rough ride". No definitive plans of an aftermarket bumper in the near future. So far the plans are, 5100s all around, add a leaf for the rear, and the LR UCA. This is one of them areas where I can read until my head spins. Any other areas I may have overlooked?

Thanks!

 

I've sold pro comps that sit at 2.75 with stock coil springs to nearly every customer with a tacoma, and never heard bad things... obviously it's going to be more stiff, but guess what? You're changing your suspension you can't expect it to be the same, unless you do coil overs

 

Looks like i'll be making a hidden winch for my truck

 

That's assumption too. I expect a different ride, just been trying to wrap my head through the hullabaloo over coil options.
Thanks for the info!

 

Have you considered an OME setup? They're specific made springs and shocks for your application vs preloading the stock spring.

 

Jon not going with the us offroad?

 

Those were ones I was looking at last night and that's what started the whole should I stay with the stock coils on those billies, or should I go an alternate route.

 

When?

I can get you a set of pro comp pro runners for set coil springs, ask mike russel

 

Sorry the u.s. offroad mount for the winch

 

man the pictures im able to get with this camera...it's amazing lol, just a few from our little get together yesterday in Destin

 

Nice. I need to play around with mine some figure out the settings.

 

@Alfuh what make and model camera do you have? Pics you've been posting are fabulous.

 

manual mode bro! best way to get the best shot, all I use now, now that I have the basic concept of how to adjust the settings.

- ISO is the sensitivity to light, higher ISO numbers is used for low light and night shots and low number ISO is used for daytime shots and well lit areas.

- Aperture is the depth of field and controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor. so Higher F stops (f/9 for example) will allow less light into the "Aperture" and low numbers will allow more light into the sensor, it also controls your depth of field, so the lower numbers whatever you are focused on, everything else in the background will be blurred so a very low depth of field and high numbers there is more of the background in focus and the aperture is actually smaller letting in less light. also coincides with your zoom, the aperture changes with the zoom

- Shutter speed is how quickly the shutter closes and captures light and re-opens, so a very slow shutter speed will capture a lot of light (which is best for pictures at night, combine this with High ISO numbers for a brighter picture at night) an a high shutter speed takes in less light and is used for areas where the sun is out or bright light since you dont need ALL the light thats there lol.

thanks man! I've got a Nikon D3300 with an 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm lens. I also use Adobe Lightroom 6 for editing the photos. I would like to get a fixed 35mm lens and either a 300 or 400mm lens. That first photo of the sunset was actually heavily edited to get it to look like that lol

here's the original photo before the editing

 

don't forget what?

i remember my spacers made my truck wander...
