DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

What clan were you in out of sheer curiosity? I played alot of 1.6 but never actually went competitive. Just local tournaments around dfw and okc.

 

[=00=] represent! OG HPB in the house, smashing them on dial-up

 

I was in a few, most notably in PointBreak which we were in CAL-P. I played a lot of PUGs with MugNMouse guys and local LANs at the time.

 

@RelentlessFab makes some, they ship with the steel bumpers usually. My understanding is they bypass he crush panel in the front your frame. Its the difference between hitting the wall with an open hand and hitting the wall with a fist. You should be able to hit something without damaging the crush panels.

 

I was in nOs. I think the callsign was [(nOs)] I started off in another one that a hand full of cal players in it but its been so long I couldn't tell you the name.

 

Yeah, I was really into it at the time. We were all in other CAL-M and above teams, decided to create our own, start AGAIN from the bottom CAL-O, move to IM, then to M, then went to P. After P, we all quit playing lol. At the end, we had all been playing about 4-6 years at that point.

 

I started in 97-ish with 1.3. I played until CS:GO came out then switched to console because thats where all my friends played. I also got thrown out of my clan because the leader decided to be a complete and total douche canoe one afternoon.

 

Yep I started at 1.3 so like 99/2000 and played till about 2007

 

So much chatter when I'm working. I "can't" have my phone on me at work or use the internet... Didnt even get email updates to see how much I was missing! now time to catch up some.

This thing is too funny! If it ever ends up on my truck It will be removed before I even leave the meet. I always crack a window when I start my truck so I'll hear it right away.

I'll look for some pics of my PC. I know I dont have any recent ones since the last refresh but still should have some good ones somewhere.

The C2D 6700 was a sweet chip afor a long time time. It overclocked so well. I think I've upgraded CPUs around 4 times since then... Now I dont even game on my PC.

Nice purchase, I really dont care for the stock OR wheels. Always happy to see them taken off. I sold my stock ones with stock tires @5k mi with no TPMS on CL for 750. Took a while but finally found someone who wanted them. Bought my parents a glock 19 for christmas with the money! Good thing I like them a lot or it would have gone right back into the truck.

I've been resisting buying Quickfist mounts but I will have them before Jambo for my axe shovel on the bed rails. Also want to get a High lift and mount for it.

The stock tires really arent bad. I used them on my first few off road trips and had no issues. I would have kept them until I wore them out but I went to 17" wheels though so I had to get new tires.

I've liked my KO2's but when I wear them out will probably try out something different but around the same level of aggressiveness. Its the first 4wd tire I have bought and am really surprised with how quiet the KO2's are on the highway.

 

Anyone have a stock 3rd gen?

But specifically if anyone has a TRD OR with stock wheels and stock Kevlar 265/70/16 tires, can anyone provide me with the stock middle of hub to fender and ground to fender measurements? Front and rear please. And yes, I understand there is slight variance for every car, but I just want to get as close as can be for a baseline.

 

Mines almost stock. 1" larger diameter wheel/tire. I'm trying to think why wheel/tire difference would change the distance from center hub to fender. Isn't that only changed by the suspension?

 

I'm 1" taller tire as well. That should only change ground to fender .5". Hub to fender should not change

 

Thats what I was thinking. So if your stock suspension what do you need a measurement for with the stock wheel/tire?

 

Because I forgot to take down my baselines. I wanted to see if my tires did actually make it go higher half inch haha

 

Any change might get lost in the slop between trucks.

 

I posted in the 3rd gen forum and got some baselines. Pretty much spot on +.5" with my new tires

 

Nice. I figured it would be 1/2" wheel change as expected from going with the 1" bigger wheel. It is in everycar measurement I've seen. I was only planning on measuring when I get a lift. One day in the future...

 

1/2 the extra inch goes above the axle, half below so the truck will only raise half an inch.

 

Yeah, 1" taller tire is only half of that since thats the part under the axle touching ground.

And yeah, i wanted baselines too for when i lift it lol
