Colorado B.S. Thread

You know, it's strange you ask. I came out of a store this weekend up here and in the parking lot a few spaces down from me was a black towncar/sedan/whatever, not a BMW, but makes you think luxury with the chrome around the windows which were (very) dark tinted. On the back window, in big white letters like you'd see 'for sale' but vinyl cutouts not soap marker or whatever, it said "I need a kidney." with a 970 phone number underneath.

However I don't recall the rest of the number. I can keep an eye out for it though if you want.

 

I saw this on a beat to shit ranch truck at Ranchway Feeds in Fort Collins a few weeks ago. I looked all over & finally found it on Amazon, it arrived today. Now to figure out where on the 4R to put it.


I wonder how many, if any, hippies will figure it out?

 

He's going Ultra hybrid, I saw Steel, Aluminum, Wood, PVC, plastic sheets & some Beetle kill lapping he was trying to hide under a table. The spent brass and pile of Xmas lights I think is just for truck decoration but I could be wrong.

 

Don't forget it should be held together with lots of duct tape!

 

I perfer the new webing type stuff that you soak in water then wrap things with. Its kinda like cast material but this stuff can hold a roll cage together rolling down a cliff

 

So a hybrid... You must show and tell more

 

Thats all you get

 

What's the 2,3,and 4 ones? I don't recognize them?

 

Savage, Beretta, dont know?

@mountainmonkey Awesome that you are about to pull the trigger and want to do it right the first time. BEFORE you heed Jake's advice in full let me ask you this? Since you have thought about the lift you want to do for a while and want to do it right the first time something tells me you have also thought about the overall, long term goal of your truck build. What is your long term build plan? Based on your answer to that question you most likely have no need for a shock relocation tower and 12" shocks. It's just unnecessary customization unless you are also planning on a shackle flip and longer springs to fully take advantage of the travel. Also to "do it right" you would not pair a set of ICON 2.5 extended travel Coilovers with a set of Billie 5125's. That's like mating a thoroughbred race horse with a donkey. The result is a fast, stubborn, mule. You would need to mate it with a 12" ICON 2.5 or something similar and now the expense is more overall.

Also have you ridden in a truck with ICON's on it? If not I highly suggest it before you pull the trigger. You might not like the ride on the road with a digressive shock. And if you are a daily commuter for work that might not be the best. We will be conducting a little test here tomorrow at my house. My ICON's vs the brand new BOSS 2.5 with resi. We are gonna ride in the trucks before install and after install. You are welcome to attend. The new BOSS 2.5's with resi might be another option. Otherwise I would suggest KING or ADS. Those are my personal choices though. FOX might not be a bad option either but I don't have much experience with them.

I ran the SPC UCA's for 5+yrs with never an issue of the BJ nut coming loose. It's gets torqued to 150ftlbs. As a matter of fact those UCA's are now on the wife's 4 runner with new BJ's to fit her spindle. But the only issue you might have (and I don't have an answer on this) is that the ICON extended travel Coilover might have more travel then the SPC BJ. So your limiting factor could become the UCA's where most uniball set ups will have a bit more travel on them and not limit your extended travel.

Longer rear brake lines are a must. Also Jake mentioned a U bolt flip with a Timbren progressive bump stop. That is a sweet setup and I highly suggest that for the rear. For the front I run the Wheeler's bumpstops and they have been nice.

Rear Dakars are great springs and if you add more weight in the future you can also add an AAL to the Dakar pack which is a nice option.

 

hmmm, sorta broke but I want to do something to Tacoma this weekend. hmm. I hate when that happens.
