Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

So I went outside to check something and noticed that the new paint on my bumper started flaking
I'm sure its because of the heavy rain and wind on my drive home last night (it wasn't the worst but it was bad)

so now I get to touch up YAY!

this paint is just a temporary aesthetic until i get it powder coated I can't wait till I get them powder coated it'll look so much nicer

Getting on 4 West. 3" lift, General red letters, TC sticker. Anybody?

 

Glad to hear it. I just bought one.

 

I just set an old pint glass on the back patio. I got like 2 pint glasses in the last day.

 

Tahoe cement or fresh pow up there?

Looking to go up to Sierra on Tuesday, hopefully not tracked out by then...

 

Fun day in Tahoe

 

Would.

 

any chance you could send me some specs on your lift/ suspension and tire setup?

 

Sure, Bilstein 5100s, OME 885s up front (set at the bottom), Wheelers 1.5" progressive AAL w/ overload. LR UCAs. Superbumps up front.

SCS SR8 Bronze w/ 295/75/16 Toyo AT2 ZOMGBBQXTREME

 

I've been giving some serious thought to the Tacoma habitat. I might be able to budget one before the end of the year.

So I look at pricing and everything that goes into it, and SAS comes close in price. Hmmm

 

Fuck, everytime I say no more mud...this little voice from the back seat of my rig says "come on dad, hit that mud hole" ...I can't say no

 

Prairie City!!!!!!

 

Haha I hear ya Fernando. Went to Carnegie today, super soupy. Couldn't help but hit a few laps second gear pinned... mud everywhere!

Highlight was by far the stock wrangler getting towed out with a broken shifter linkage when we got there. Fixed it and came back right up to me and asked if I'll tow him if he gets stuck in the mud hole. Proceeds to hit it fast, nearly stalls it in a deep spot. Proceeds to ROAST his clutch. No tires spinning, engine redline, smoke billowing out from under. He thought he was doing a burnout. We reminded him there's no tire smoke in mud

 

Tough call. If SAS will make you wheel more often, tackle more technical trails, and have a better experience off road (and it probably will), that's a good call.

If the Habitat will mean way more camping trips, year-round, and help you explore more territory, that's a great call. You know what I would do...

We don't usually stay in the same spot 2 nights in a row. On road trips, campsites range from BLM clearings to RV sites. Breakdowns and setups are so easy.

A popup camper isn't for everyone, but I will say that it totally changes the way you'll use your truck. It was mod #1 on my list. Everything else just helps me lug the camper to more remote places without the worries of breaking shit and getting stranded. I intend to attempt the Rubicon summer of 2017 after re-gearing. It will get so much use between now and then though.

 

The last setup. Super comfortable, capable (3.15:1 low range & Detroit locker), and fun as hell to drive.















But kinda unreliable.

 

Selling a Fuji Roubaix Pro road bike. Size 52 with a compact double. It was my mom's old road bike before she upgraded. Less than 500 miles on it and I recently did a full tuneup. Looking to get $900. Please message me if interested. Great bike at a great price

 

Storm coming into Tahoe was pretty gnar. Everything iced up
