northwesttaco's SOLD LT Build w/ 35's and BS

Whaaaa?

 

Ill need new wheels anyway before 35's (currently have 4.5" bs, need 3.5") but also rubbing the shock and don't want to go through another summer rubbing it.

 

So your getting 3.5? different wheel or sticking with the f5

 

Depends how I like the Ray 10.. Hoping they come out with it soon.

 

Has he posted any teaser shots? hopefully 3.5bs will be an option

 

No.. I messaged Vin today to see if he could give me a rough estimate of when it'll be released because I don't want to get the F5's and then the following week find out Im in love with the Ray 10's.

 

Haha yeah that would suck, I was gonna do the same only to see if its going to be offered in a 16" and 3.5bs

 

Exactly, not even sure it'll be offered in 16". Its a fancy sounding name (makes me think of Ray Bans) which makes me think it'll be more like the stealth 6, like more spokes and not as "rugged" looking as the F5 and SR8.. If that makes sense.

 

I guess I could live with either size but a second set with k02s would be nice for DD

 

You'd need new wheels anyway if you go to 37's. I don't think I will because I drive too much to trails and different places, I'd hate the mileage more problems come with 37's.

 

Exhaust reroute is done


And also just ordered these from CBI


Free powder coating, free shipping, and a free t-shirt (also in aluminum) should be here in 3 weeks or so. Temp solution until I have my own place and can store a full bed rack somewhere.

 

nice, i'm looking into their front bumper, thinking of pulling the trigger on it.

 

I was actually going to get their front bumper until mine kinda fell in my lap, I like it.

 

haha yeah, can't beat your deal on the front bumper.

I like pelfery built but fuck shipping is crazy, and I can get CBI front powered coated and winch, for the cost of getting pelferys coated and shipped to my house.

 

I'd go synthetic winch but I like both a lot.

 

I like synthetic, but not sure I'm sold, a field repair would suck compared to a steel line.

 

You think? You can easily tie synthetic line in a knot or something if it breaks, but the breaking strength is also a lot higher. I mean theres a reason they make recovery straps out of rope versus steel cables.

 

True, never thought of a knot. I've seen people splice synthetic lines and it doesn't look like fun if your on a trail.

 

I'd just tie a knot haha splicing can be a pain for sure, i'd do that once im back home.

 

yeah it looks easy on a bench, i'm just thinking in the rain or snow, doesn't look like fun. I wonder if anyone has tied a knot and it worked?
