Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

i feel bad for the local guy rebuilding the coilovers for me. hes doing everything he can by bugging them and just waiting for his supposed order to come in.

 

DSM goes through the same nonsense I think so don't feel special

 

im glad i didnt ship them off because then i'd have to wait for shipping. My luck the box would disappear.

 

When I was deciding on King or Icon I was informed by a couple vendors about this issue. That's one of the reasons I went with kings.

 

i know king is on a massive backorder as well right now.

 

You do have some terrible luck. It's not my preference to ship things to Icon. They only service shocks on Tuesday or something or other, who the hell does that?

 

exactly why i went local for it. The dudes a great guy and has been trying hard to get my stuff back to me. But icon i stonewalling him. Plus its event season so they apparently take everyone out to them.

 

If you go the FWC route, a used Eagle may be better than a new shell model. They only sell the Fleet model now(for 6' beds), which is 6" wider than the Eagle. 3" on each side may not seem like much, but off camber trails between trees are already challenging since the sides aren't tapered. I got pretty close to some trees last weekend in Hollister.

Fleet


Or send your truck to Germany.


Or do the SAS and build a cheap wood camper.


Or Chinook the shit out of it.

Yeah and I think the model I really wanted (Finch) they don't make anymore. I wanted something where I can still close my tail gate.

The Germans have it dialed in, they have the best conversions of anyone I have seen.

 

Well my truck was feeling kinda funny, so I decided to take a peek.... To my surprise, I have a busted spring

 

Damn that's scary, how does that even happen? Is that a 700lb spring?

 

No idea how it happened. Never felt it snap. And yeah, it's a 700lb spring a little over a year old

 

That sucks neighbor!

 

do you think that thing smells more like BO or Patchouli


oh and thanks @Bentrodder for the hookup on machining my wheels!


Has anyone else had a laser used on their build?

 

I like your new hair!

 

Does a laser pointer count?

 

Just curious, will an extra 10 lbs per tire really make a huge difference? I eventually want to step up to a 34" and the Coopers are 55 lbs and the Falkens are 65 lbs.

 

Yes.

 

Just weed. With a hint of chinookery.

Truck is lookin' good Jimmy!
