Cap City Build & BS AF

All the cool shit gets pushed out in the Products, but the dicks stay...

 

I'm going back to playing Jesus.

Fantastic af!!! Like a dream come true.

This place is more than I could have ever imagined!

 

Breakfast of champions

 

Pretty amazing to say the least.

 

Got some GoPro footage of snorkeling black Rock and cliff jumping it yesterday af. Saw a big ass sea turtle and an octopus



We have an actual snorkeling adventure to Molokini crater at 1pm today. Going to get some awesome GoPro footage of that.

 

I've talked a lot about the bumpers that have been made here by the shop guys. You've seen the Cherokee bumpers, here is the Dakota!




The Silverado next to it is the newest bumper built. However, if you can see where it sticks WAY OUT past the fender? Yeah, it looks like shit and I'm not taking pics of it lol. It doesn't deserve it.

 

My cubic likes per mile ratio has taken a severe hit.

 

that thing is huge

 

You should see the Chevy's bumper

I think the Dakota doesn't look too bad, forgot to get a pic of the rear. It's a simple flat and straight sheet metal bumper. I think they're all using 1/8" thick plate

 

I feel like everything below that diagonal line should have stayed on the shop floor and the bottom bevel should have started near my horizontal line IMO

 

that's super thin. I used 3/16 c channel and 3/16 plate for the skid. most people use 3/16" and use 1/4" for gussets but since c channel basically self gussets the entire piece I figured I would be fine, and my skid is short enough and mounted to 3/16 angle on the edges it should be fine also

 

Yes. That actually IS what I meant to say.

Warn me first and I'll drive out too!!

X2

Yes please.

MOAR COUNTRY.

I just carry spent casings around with me and huff them when necessary....

<3

She's my fave... was thinking of changing my profile pic to her.

Tall & skinny seems to be the way to go. 255/85r16. Can't wait to make it happen...

OMG SO MUCH EXCITE.

OCTOPUS <3

 

I see what you mean here. Your bumper is much more of a high clearance bumper than what they were building.

I know I've only been on one wheeling trip, so far, but I can't tell that anyone pushed over any trees with their 3/16" or thicker bumpers lol. I was plowing saplings over with factory bumper just fine. However, that doesn't mean I won't consider a heavier gauge for my own bumper if I do make one.

 

Please change to her!

Yes, that's the tires size I meant, oops!

 

My boss just stopped by on his way out to tell me the whole company gets a $350 bonus this next pay check!!!!!!!!!

 

I'll find a pic and make it happen.

There's a guy in our PNW group that runs them and highly recommends them...



I will definitely be doing this but not till I can do suspension and tires at the same time... pretty sure I won't clear the tires without it.

 

I'm lifting first, then tires. Yes, I skip leg day, like Chad lol

Seriously though! The 255/85 tires did great at LBL. And lift, technically, is achieved from tires, not suspension. Taller tires get the axles off the ground, not taller shocks/springs. Namean?!

 

Too much?


Also, yes, I know what you mean. I know next to nothing about suspension so I have a lot of research to do. I've finally figured out the tires thing and I'm pretty dead set with the ST Maxx in that size. I've just gotta learn one thing at a time...

 

Oh please. There's a lot more tit in some of the other pics around here...
