Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

You should run those. But if not, let me know.

 

i need more people to give me rides so i can take photos like this.

 

That's funny @basinrunner got mine for me off a Facebook page also... There must be a magical Chevy 63 fb page out there.

Mike- check out pick n pull there will be loads to pick from, literally any GM 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck/suv

 

Wheelers FTW with no sales tax. But their shipping is hit or miss on speed.

 

I can run the wheelers AAL with out upgrading the shocks for now right?

 

I have no idea. Your AAL don't fit my van

 

Between the campershell, full toolbox and the dogs, I think thats covered.

 

my brake shudder is back. replaced pads, squealed and shook. Replaced rotors and pads, was fine but now shudders after bed in.

Time to get them turned and hope that fixes. Never had such issues with simple brake repair.

 

chevy 63s FTW, I picked mine up from pick and pull for about $50 and getting gmy hands dirty but well worth it. Do it!

 

Went out to zone c4 by lake almanor this weekend for opening day. Got deep. It's always fun exploring a new forest.

 

Yes you can run stock shocks with the AALs.

X2 on Wheeler's being hit or miss. I pretty much buy everything from Headstrong Off-road these days unless it's specific Wheeler's branded stuff.

I know the price of shipping when I place the order, not a $20 ballpark range, and they're in SoCal so I literally place an order Monday and it's on my door step Tuesday with OnTrac. They'll shop for the lowest cost shipping option.

When I bought my OME setup, even charging me CA sales tax - Headstrong was $170 cheaper than Wheeler's, and I had my parts the next day.

 

sorry if you see/hear a blue 4runner ripping around the roads disrupting and scaring your deer. I hear that guys a dick

 

Those last two pics are really amazing.

 

agreed, that night shot is tight!

 

Nah would've probably helped. Last Friday the 12th when there was that little cold front it got all the herd moving to lower elevations. Missed them by a week.

a little photoshop love helped

that's about 5:00am waiting for first light shoot time. Great trip but an unsuccessful hunt.

 

its going to get cooler. ill be up there again sometime in the next few weeks. Last few times ive been out ive had some nice deer pull out in front of me and scare the shit out of me.

 

Alright gentlemen and any ladies that may be here. I think I’ve decided on my set-up for the time being. I’ve spent the last 2 weeks browsing threads and searching online and I think I know what I would like to do with my truck.

From Toytec I am going to order the 3" lift kit with Bilstein 5100 Front Coilovers. This kit includes the following:

Bilstein 5100 front shocks
Toytec 521600 front coils
Fully assembled with Toytec Aluminum top mount and Urethane bushings
Preset at approximately 3" of lift (Lift heights may vary depending on how much front weight you have installed on your vehicle)

FOR THE REAR
------ Toytec 2” lift rear Add-A-Leafs. This long style AAL offers a great ride and has anti-friction pads already installed. Fits standard 3 leaf springs and 4 leaf or TSB springs.

As far as tires go, I am going to stick with my stock rims and order BFG A/T in 265/75/16. This is not as big as I’d like to go, but for now it will work for what I need it to do.

I think this should be fairly straight forward with no additional issues. I do have one question, with the lift would there be any need for a diff drop kit? I see some of the other 3 inch lift kits include this for the 4x4 models.

By the way, my truck is a 2011 DCSB TRD off road 4.0 V6 manual trans, if that matters to you.

 

If it's the kit for 919.00 it comes with the diff drop. This kit doesn't include a carrier bearing drop spacer though. I had vibes until I ordered and installed the cb spacer.

 

So I found a sweet deal and bought a 2008 Mazda 3 s hatchback about 2 weeks ago. I filled it up for $38 and averaged 28.5 mpg...I almost cried

 

do want $38 fill ups.

EDIT:

Got my Amsoil in today. time to change my oil and send it to blackstone. Am much nervous
