Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Sold. PM me what you are going to buy when you have it all ready and I will make the same order. If you are just going to call DSM then tell him someone will be calling for the same shit right after you.

 

someone say mod day?!

 

Not mucking about on my econo frame mounted bumpstop project

 

I'm calling Micah today to order some TC uppers.

 

If you are going to fix the hose, why not just keep the dirt king?

 

He's selling them to me for $30.

 

Side wall rub on the 35's. I'm hoping it's due to the box design.

 

shit

What size spacers? I was looking to go to 315's with my mid travel.

 

BTW, still do your hose. King said the issue exists for TC also, but the rounded corners just pulls on the hose instead of cuts it. Not sure if I would want it pulling either.

 

Good eye. Jesus, they're selling that all together, right? Looks like the resi should be set up 180 degrees vertical from that, and those hose customized to fit. You know, before it is shipped. Ouch. WTF.

 

Yeah, dirt king even sells the full kit. WTF

 

I'm not running spacers and I don't want to. The 17 wheels have a -12mm offset and I barely cleared on my 16's with -24mm.

I still want to do the hoses just to fix the current rubbed ones and avoid any contact in the future.

 

That is fucking weak. How could they even have the balls to sell that without seeing if it even works, especially at those prices?

 

@Iggy. I offer you $31

 

old style resi's FTW.

 

And by that you mean +2 TC LT Kit?



@tacomgee @Iggy.

 

so my kid, who lives in Reno, spent the weekend mudding it on the high desert playas of northern Nevada after a storm, having a great time... a 5 ton 6x6 can do donuts all day long on a muddy flat if you stay on the throttle and throw it into a hard turn... playa-drifting!

so this morning, he takes the truck to the self-serve car wash he uses to pressure wash the undercarriage etc... he's only like halfway through, and they kicked him out, after making him shovel all the mud he'd washed off into a dumpster. no option to pay extra to finish the job on the condition he cleans up the rest, nada.


(the green one is his friends truck, his is the tan one with the upper deck thats behind it)


so, what do y'all 4x4 guys do when you get really really muddy?

 

Most self serve washes here say no muddy trucks and each bay has a camera.

Mud in the drain kinda ruins the whole "drain" thing.

 

It almost seems like it! Replacing the UCA, fixing the shocks etc.

I'm fine with my travel, I just want to drive the truck instead of work on it!

 

I think his best option is to install a tank, pump, and hose, and leave it where he found it.
