Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Any of you Santa Rosa dweebs wanna grab food? I'm picking up the tent in Sausalito at 5. Might kill a few hours so I don't have to drive in traffic the whole afternoon

 

Getting old, had to google those.

 

The best "fidget spinners" ever made


And now my truck feels naked haha

 

didn't the kids go through some spinner-like phase a few years ago with some sci-fi themed beyblades or something? basically tops, the goal was to upset the other guys top ? and back in the 1960s, there was Battling Tops!



which just goes to show nothing new is under the sun.

 

i just want POGS to come back. Sons of bitches.

 

I swear. Every time I see the word POG... I think the military term haha

 

I will be rolling through Concord stupid early on Friday with no time to wait for anything or anyone. And I could pick those strips up from @mattgecko tonight.

 

Pm sent

 

and?

 

Off topic but I am trying all avenues...

I just graduated from Cal with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. If you know of any job leads, please hook a brotha up.

 

Congrats dude

 

Hats off to you sir! No easy feat.

 

Thanks

Thanks. It was awesome and I'd do it again in a heartbeat

 

Nothing's off topic here haha

 

What field? My cousin and roommate in college was an ME major and worked for LAM before going into medical devices. A lot of my buddies were ME guys too. Guys I know currently work in these fields:

- Medical devices
- Undersea communications (L-3 Maripro)
- HVAC (the dark side)

If your interested, LMK and I'll ask them.

 

Hey Norcal.

Any recommendations for a leaf spring shop in the area?

I am in need of a new leaf pack that can support my flippac.

 

Chris, there's a guy on IG (Blueline Overland) that is selling an All Pro Expedition pack.

The OME Dakars were fine for my old Flippac and about 500 lbs of gear/ cabinets. If you're going to go with a swingout, the All Pro Expo 2 pack or a custom pack would work.

I went to A-1 Springs in Oakland, but they weren't very technical. Not saying that they would do a bad job, but I didn't want to risk it with guessing.

 

New 17' owner here in the Folsom / Roseville area. I live in an apartment. Anyone know somewhere I can go to work on the truck and install some mods?

 

Thanks! When you were running the Dakars, did you also put the helper on? or just the stock 5 leaf? Did it raise the rear end? I am trying to keep the existing rear bilsteins on the TX Baja, and I worry to tall of a spring will be longer than the stroke.

I reached out to Bill at Alcan Springs to see what a custom pack would do, but still worry that without a shop being able to see it and work on it, it might be hit or miss.
