Oregon and Washington BS thread

Yeah I've got the space and tools and whatnot, just so busy that I'm about to resort to just paying a shop to do it....

 

Cool video made by the NorCal chapter that I came across while on YouTube.

I've been wanting to run slickrock for a while. May get some time to run some NorCal trails this summer

 

That'll be an awesome trip. Planning on hitting up some of the folks down there?

 

Yup. All depends on when I order LT though so not exactly sure when I'll go

 

FIFY! From Turks and Caicos no less! Love technology!

 

I would SAS but I just don't have the time to take my truck down to SoCal, find a front axle, rebuild it/make it look pretty again etc.. Plus if I am going to SAS then im going to run 40's.. Which means I have to upgrade my rear axle, breaks etc.. It just adds up too quickly haha Ill do another build after im done with school that'll be on 40's, probably won't be a taco though

 

Ugh, I want to LT my truck too but financially and realistically it makes no sense. Which kit are you planning on going with?

Hahahah!

 

lets do it

 

I'm down! I saw a thread on here a couple years ago where someone just cut the parts off, weld on extended components, and bolted them back on to make it long travel. Seems legit. I'm sure Evan from Marshall Fab will do that for me. You offering to help me re-install the lower shock bolt?

 

I think we are going to need a bigger hammer

 

Total Chaos +2 race kit, and Kings with clicker adjusters!

 

We can rent from O'reilys.

 

Mucho deniro!!!! Why 2" and not 3.5"? Just the width and the trails in the NW or..?

 

Yeah width. +2 is already wide enough, then add 35's and ill be squeaking through! Also because I don't want to run a 3.5" (or close to) spacer in the rear to match the track width

 

It is a lot of money but if I stay mid travel then Ill have to get new UCA's and want new LCA's anyway. So the cost of that versus selling my current setup and going LT isn't a huge difference.

 

I just replaced my LCAs (TC UCA's) and I tried so hard to convince myself to just go LT but the cost is still way more. You could have new aftermarket ucas and stock lca's for sub $1200 and not have to mess with axles reinforced upright new coilovers straps etc. I really wanted lt but I realized I'll just get a cherokee if I want to wheel hard in west wa. But I I will crawl the sh$t out of my taco at the mall... I'm prepping for stepping up to 33's.

 

I dont think I saw a tire smaller than 35”. That guy in the Jeep keep your arms in the vehicle at all times. Good way to break your wrist/arm or loose a limb.

 

Gotta feed da Haterz

 

Theres 33's in there. Both first gens (besides Relentless fabs) are on 33's
