RUBS? needs more lift then...

 

Bro i had a warn m8000s had no issues... i switched to smittybuilt and same thing NO ISSUES

 

Thanks man good info,, ill be doing a little research this week.

 

It seems to me that for the extra $, you can buy a couple Smittybilt winches... I have no complaints about mine, and I'm sure that it'll last basically forever, based on how much I use it.

I discovered a few things as I was doing the research... Pay attention to the line speed. Smittybilt for instance, have the same motor on 3 different sizes of winch, and they're just geared different. Which means the 9k is double the speed of the 15k. And if there's ever a chance you'll run synthetic line, get a winch where the brake isn't inside the drum.

And most important, if you can order it from Summit you can get free shipping, and no tax because they're in Oregon.

 

lift won't fix the rubbing only and a BFH will

Only regret I have is not getting the fold down table.. Plus it's the only 1/4" steel rear bumper you can get for tacos. That could make or break your decision

 

Everytime I've ordered from summit it comes from their warehouse in Ohio. Free shipping on my winch though, not my tie rod ends

The amount of convincing it took was literally me saying "Here, shoot this."

 

I figured there was a minimum price for it

 

I bought that one 10 years ago when you could buy the rifle for $99 and 880 rounds of ammo for another $99. They've both gone up about 2-3x now. It's not worth it unless you've got a buddy trying to offload one for cheap. If you just want a good beater rifle for not too much money, I'd go with a Stevens 200 since you can find those for about the same money as a Mosin these days.

 

I'm not as much a Mosin fan these days just because the scope mounting options are so limited.

 

Smh

 

Haha Brian, cmon we both know enough lift can solve many issues (and create more)..

 

Well yes if you put this on you'll clear 37's lol http://bulletproofsuspension.net/toyota-tacoma-10-12-inch/

 

I need to do a cab chop on mine i figure i already messed with the frame when i put my sliders on... so oh well I'm ready...

 

does look good....

 

Surprised I haven't seen anyone on here with one of those

 

Damn, I look away from the board for a few hours and 3 pages of posts! Ok, ok, here is a subset of the pictures I took (a few @SteeleMan already posted as they are his): http://imgur.com/a/2b7Pf

Imgur f'd up the ordering, so they're kinda random. I also have a few more of each truck crossing the little stream, sadly it's all phone pictures so far away and not super good.

I do love me this shot, though:

 

Ok, so you got me all paranoid, thinking they might be hitting, so I jacked it up, and....no hit! By the way, I can put my index finger between the UCA's and the spring. Looks like less in the pic.

 

150 still isnt to bad for a mosin. But i agree the ammo is annoyingly expensive compared to what it used to be. Can still find it for ~.25 cents though which isnt to bad.

I still want to get a SVT-40 and a vepr in 54R. I just dont like how a SVT is 900 bucks here but 200 in Canada. The VEPR is just low on the list of guns ot buy lol
