NE area wheeling trip plans

I've got a 3in lift,so it should be fine right?

 

Which Toytec lift do you have?

 

5100's all around with 600lbcoil springs and an aal in the rear. It's my starter kit I'll be in the market for some kings/icons down the road a ways

 

You should be able to remove the sway bar, with the 600lb springs. Your 5100s set at 0?

 

No there set at 2.5 for the full 3in lift

 

I would think you should be fine then. It must ride stiff with the preload on the 600lb spring right?

 

Ohh ya super ruff I feel almost every bump hahaha. It has actually softened up a bit to where I kinda like it now

 

You may like it without the sway bar.

 

How bout any of y'all running 33X12.5 I actually rub a lil on the fender flares and I want to go to 35s eventually so I'm thinking I'll just cut out the whole 2-2.5 inches out of the fender and flares now in stead of just trimming enough to clear the 33s. Any thoughts on this?

 

I'm taking mine out when I get there.

 

My next set will be 35's, after an upgrade to my shitty lift. front bumper will be going bye bye for a hybrid, and getting some JBA UCA's to get more caster. that'll probably prompt a CMC which I've been squeamish about doing to my new frame but it'll have to happen.

 

But to answer your question, I already removed the front mudflaps and trimmed the lower corners of the flares to fit my bulky ass MT 33's

 

So we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow, then again Saturday. My work already canceled for tomorrow. I'll have to call out Saturday to join you guys.

 

Ya I'm in the same boat I have a pelfreybilt plate front and rear with swing out coming in a couple 2-3 weeks so I'm sure my 600 lbs springs are gonna sag a little more so that may be even more I'd have to cut out of fenders so it's looking like it's a better option to take a big cut out haha. Ya my front mud flaps are long gone and I had to notch a lil bit but haven't had to really cut em yet. I did my CMC myself it really wasn't bad at all the hardest part for me was getting the wet T shirt out from the cab bushing to prevent melting during welding hahaha

 

I think you'd be better off upgrading your coil springs

 

I'd love to take a trip to the NJ Pine Barrens sometime. Just putting this out there. I rode my BMW F650GS through there back around 2009 or so with the BMW Xplor The Pine Barrens event. It was awesome! Though I also went through some pretty big holes that looked like they could easily swallow a vehicle. I think a Pine Barrens trip would be a fun weekend trip if anyone know the area. It'd definitely a place I don't want to go without some first hand knowledge and a few others to help out in case of getting stuck.

 

Ya I've never been but I'm with ya on the wanting to explore it I've heard lots of awesomeness about it.

 

We should setup a camping trip this summer somewhere up north in NY, VT, NH, ME or the place you suggested in NJ. It'd be a good time to get to know each other, hangout, drink some beverages and have some food. Definitely strong potential for this if planned correctly starting soon so there is as much chance as possible that everyone who wants to make it can make it.

 

You guys planning on regearing? You're going to need to for 35s.
