Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I wish I never sold it. I loved living in Oakland. We moved to Walnut Creek cuz of schools.

 

Bought in 14 for 391k in Cordelia, house is worth 430k now. Not to bad IMO. I don't plan on selling though, maybe in 10 years Ill refi to a 15 year and rent it out if we get a new place, but I like where we are, just wish we had 1 more room

 

If you can, leave the leaf spring swap until Sunday. Having the leafs out of the way will make drilling the lower bump rivets easier. Oh, and are those 14" x 700 lb. springs on your fronts? If they are, you might have them cranked a little too much, coil bind territory. Or that is the way it looks in the picture.

 

On the real-estate front, we bought in the immediate aftermath of the dot-com meltdown. If any of you are old enough to remember that debacle. As somebody said, timing is everything.

 

Sitting in the hotel room
Looking at wheels. Way too many damn options. Throw some good name brands at me guys I would like to stay under $200 per wheel

 

Method race wheels!!!

 

Well we went the intelligent route and bought this year...

Luckily interest rates were low but damn we overpaid (IMO but actually got a decent deal for the market). I would have waited but my wife and mother in law was pushing for this year and she was helping with the down payment.

 

SCS. Thats the only name you need.

 

I was planning on it The leafs would be a PITA by myself and when I talked with wheelers they were saying that the 13"x650 would work and so far I'm liking the ride hight is higher then it was and it is still 100 times better then before

although having the front done makes me realize how much the rear needs to be done I can't wait till sunday

 

With that enormous front bumper, 700s would have been a good choice as well. Did you round up any other volunteers for Sunday?

 

Or just keep saving up and get these. The price is each wheel,lol.

 

Oh the stealth 6 in bronze might have to go with those. Now the question is 16 vs 17

Think I'm gonna do the 16s with 3.5" backspacing

 

Does any by chance know the cab height from the top of the bed to the top of the roof?

 

Idk there were so many dates flying around

@tyfoon11

@Tee Arghhhhhh Dee
I can't remember if y'all were busy or not but if not We are doing install of the rears on sunday at @EDDO 's place

 

Not sure yet, might be headed out of town.

 

+1 love mine

 

I would join but it's the wife's birthday

 

I like the 17s myself. Ive got 2 sets. The Ray10s and SR8s. Love em. And Vin is a class act. Definitely one of the best vendors I've dealt with, for sure.

 

Bought our first house in 04. Rent it out now since I borrowed money against my 401k in 2011 for a down payment on our current house. Payed 236k and owe 115k. Only 16yrs left. It's valued over 400k. Timing is everything.

 

What Sunday and where? I might be down.
