Meet and Greet/ Possible Mod Day Summer 2016

And good food too, I might add.

 

Maybe a little back road adventuring possible for those up for a scenic ride, it's certainly got lots of potential.

 

Are there leaves and dirt? Can't get my Princess dirty

 

There are some nice little roads around.
And lots of places to wash trucks down (Rick)

 

No leaves and dirt....just stones and trees.

 

Don't think my clunky suspension could hang. Or if I will have it by then still.

 

What's going on with your suspension?

 

I have the clunk now since about 2 months ago. The standard OME clunk people get, and it's impossible to track down. Only happens if the steering wheel is slightly turned and you go over a bump. There is a millions different bolts underneath to check, and some people are saying it's bushings here or bushings there. The fucking truck is brand new, and all I did was put a different coil and shock in. And now clunk clunk clunk. I'll explain more later when I get back home

 

X2 what up?

 

That sucks. Sorry to hear about that. Damn.

 

I've heard of this issue and that is the one knock of OME is that the shocks top out when going over bumps. From what I've heard that's a common issue. That's one of the reasons so many use bilstein shock and ome coils because longer travel.

 

Looks like Rick has 5100s with OME springs. No?

 

Doesn't happen going over big bumps or speed bumps. Just little bumps.

Yes I do

 

hmmm...
What has Drew said? Any ideas from him?

 

I haven't bothered asking. I am watching that thread for a possible fix, but nobody seems to be able to find one. I figured once the nice weather came I would go underneath and tighten it all up to proper torque

 

Yeah, wonder if it is just something that has settled and now needs a re-torque.

 

I am very interested in this! Let's keep this rolling. From Woodbury, CT personally but willing to drive a bit if a good number of people are attending.

 

I'm interested. Has there been a date or place established?

 

Here is the Thread for the April 3rd 2016 Worcester MA meet. Still unsure about going wheeling but it is a good start to prepare for wheeling trips for this summer....

I'm totally lurking I'll admit it. Can I be the 5th wheel?
