Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I got a set of rims off some rich dude in Sac for $120...5 rims, ran them for about 2 years...got a set of BFG ATs for $600, put about 30k on them, sold the set for $600. Win.

 

Diablo Offroad and Performance in Walnut Creek did my BAMF Sliders for me. Recommended by Jerry. (925) 937-3627

 

That's not the same truck. But this one is crazy.

 

oh really? I used to drive by that place on my commute last year. Always wondered if they were legit or not!

 

The dude that owns, and runs the shop, is a big time off road racer. He's semi famous, I guess.

 

..rustoleum 'smoke gray'?
..what pressure are you running the S/T's at?

 

Nice truck. Love that bumper.
Used Rustoleum "Gloss Dark Gray". Not the best paint. Shitty nozzle.

This is my favorite paint, but I couldn't find it in the right color:



Run the ST's at 36 - 38 on the street. 16 - 20 off road. What are you running them at?

 

thanx, Yours too. i use oil-base rustoleum and brush it on the bumper. 38 - 40 on street, lowest I've been 28 in DV. been curious as to how low to go

 

That's Brian, he's super lame and never comes on the NorCal thread, @Fernando has that soft top now I believe.

 

I was running about 24 in DV. Didn't know how low to go with the D load skinnies at speed. I just kept going lower until the wife stopped complaining about the washboard roads.

 

Thank you! I will be calling them on Monday.

 

So I finally bit the bullet and ordered a set of depo lights and found an Amazon paint shop that made me up 2 cans of color match (tried 3 different shades of duplicolor and they were all wrong). They painted the can caps in the color, I held it up to the truck in the sun today, fucking spot on. Ive been sitting on my box of TRS retrofits for like 6 months now, just havent had the time to pull my lights and try a retrofit what with the baby and all. So now I can do this at my leisure and do a good job! Also, anyone know a close color match rattle can to the SCS matte dark bronze? Vin says he doesnt have it...Im gonna start checking vatozone for a close match.

 

oh shit you're right I was so out of it when I posted that

 

That's brian @thegame...bad ass rig

Thank u for the family portrait pics are amazing!!

Lol!!! He has been MIA....

Yup, that's my topper now.......oh jimmy, I rubbed when out to that pic of your rig, hope u don't mind

 

you don't even want to know what Ive done to it... kidding.

yeah I wish Brian came in here more he is a solid dude. I text him pics of my build all the time to get his opinion, he's a good tool to have in the toolbox!

 

I kind of want to spray my spindles in a clear to show off the work instead of hiding it under black paint. But doesn't clear wear off fast from spray can?

 

Lol

Yea Brian is a good dude! Now if I could just convince him to trade me rigs

My buddy did it to his runners diff cover...holding up fine. I like that look

 

he just used a good clear coat spray? I have good clear coat from when i attempted to paint my fenders still, few cans of it.

 

Did califab weld those up? Looks good!

 

yessir. I dropped them off on my way up to Apple Hill, he text me about 3 hours and said come get em, tired of looking at them lol. Chance is a good dude, highly recommend him.
