@adanfon is that kinetic rope?

 

Yep! 7/8" x 30'

 

Unless I find or buy a new Dakar leaf pack I won't be going to play haha

 

You also missed out on the 10 truck recovery and insurance claims, the fool size trucks rammed into an fj80 in a bowl who we were trying to recover with a broken bead, then a 4runner drove into a winch line and snapped !

 

Night run started at about 11 and ended at like 3am lol

 

Looks like fun fun!

 

Yep definitely going to tns again next year.

I will never go to the pismo jamboree though. that event is so boring

 

@Alfred It was boring cause not all the 559 guys went like this one!

 

Nah the dude that host it doesn't even care for it anymore. he had some random to tell all of us were having a group meeting and the dude that told us said it seems like he doesn't even want to host his own event or do anything.

 

When we had the group meeting he didn't even say much and someone asked when's the group picture he just said ummm right now well all meet out somewhere on a hill. and that was it.

 

Damn.

 

Anyone wanting to head out to Pismo again on black Friday? Since I missed out on the turf and surf.

 

Might be goin out there, friend of mine is bringing his race truck and another buddy might bring his too so we can test out the new steering setup

 

I'll be out of town over the holiday weekend, have fun!

 

I need some advice please,
Over the past two months I have had a bad shudder on take off and vibrations in my braking and accelerating. I have 3 degree shims and tried carrier bearing drop. Anyone else ever had this problem. I have researched forum after forum. Not sure what else to do. Thanks for any input. I am lifted in the rear with bamf shock relocation kit and a shackle flip.

 

Off topic but what shackle flip did you get? I'm thinking about Archive, but I guess I need longer shocks and maybe brake lines.

As far as shudder, I'm not sure, there's a tsb out for measuring driveline angles to help reduce the vibration. It's from the driveline right?

 

I'm assuming driveline, and I've checked all my angles they seem to be correct. I've seen a lot of forums say to go with a one piece drive shaft.

I did get the archive, with 12 inch bilsteins, I did do extended brake lines in the rear. I had them custom made by hose and fittings etc. in Fresno. I just bought a right and left rear brake line from oreileys and had the shop match up the ends and had them custom made. Then returned them to oreileys, the right and left are two different fittings so be aware, that was a learning expierience for me.

 

Damn, that'll be sweet to see as well.

 

Check out what I brought home... originally I wanted a soft top but.... can't beat dirt cheap...
Now it's the same color as my bumper and sliders, hammered black, almost gray








The budget $150 dollar shell

 

Check your carrier bearing, mines shot with 3/4" of play lol
