Colorado B.S. Thread

For those guys running HID headlights, are you picking up any feedback through your CB/HAM? I drank the koolaid and put a set in. Noticeable increase in white noise with the headlights on. I have an extra set of ballasts I'm going to try, along with trying to ground the ballast housing. It might be poor grounding in my antenna network but my SWR doesn't show it. I might have to switch to a body mount antenna.

 

Probably, but it was shipped via usps to a usps po box down there in the flat land so....

 

No. It was nasioc.

 

Not HID, but led lights are notorious for being RF dirty.
I know if mine are on I need more squelch on the CB.

Maybe it's common with HID as well?

 

Ah yeah. I always stayed away from that one.

IIRC nasioc is the ttora/pirate and legacygt is more of the tacomaworld.

I remember venturing over to nasioc and getting my head shoved up my ass by a dozen aggressive fanboy/ricers.

 

If you wheel around big rocks then you'll probably see some rock rash. The SCS wheels with the bead ring will probably show quite a bit more because the rings do stick out more. Here are my 255/85-16 on SCS SR8's.

 

Are yours fake or real bead locks

 

Fake. SCS doesn't make removable/replaceable bead rings.

 

I wish SCS would make those removable so we can replace them once they get too mangled

 

I typed up a nice intro post, to which I saw a message saying it needed to be approved by the moderators, and then it never got posted. Not sure what that's about.


It's been a while since I've seen a forum with that many rules and mods that make sure you follow everything single one of them to a T. Don't know if I'll head back.

 

Better suby forum, at least it was, haven't been there in a bit, www.awdpirates.net
It's a subset of the NASIOC and ClubWRX Colorado crew that got sick of all the crap. Hosted local by a guy in Conifer or Evergreen.

The pirate theme was because they were always breaking the rules and got a reputation for being the trouble makers because they wanted to be normal instead of housing their 2x4's up their rears.

 

Yea I don't wanna pay that much for rims just to gouge them up. Looking at a 16x7 option but there's very little to choose from besides steelies. Maybe grab some FJ trd 16x7.5.

 

get steelies and then you and @alee891 and i can do diy beadlocks

 

I think I'm leaning more towards steelies for better back spacing options. I think the FJ wheels are like 5". I'd like to keep somewhat of a wide stance since I'll be going with tall skinnys.

 

do ettttt non fj wheels are normally cheap too

 

Paying less than $100 per wheel as opposed to $200 per wheel leaves more $$ for other mods

 

*cough* bead locks *cough*

*cough* REAL bead locks *cough*

 

Someone get this
