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

I'm trying to let the Spyderco style grow on me, just haven't quite gotten there yet. The Kershaw Leek I had has to be around here somewhere, but I'm tempted to grab another one in a different style. The assisted flipper was/is fun to play with while trying not to be annoyed by coworkers...

 

U know switch blades are legal in TX now right? Eff assisted get an OTF or full automatic.

Ive shopped at bladehq before and have been happy with my boker auto

OTFs are just fun too

 

No need for a auto/OTF. Legal or not, I need a non-threatening EDC for around the house/office and a strong good blade for camping.

 

Whats a non-threatening edc?

 

Not an assault knife, no high capacity serrations.

 

I wish I had the money for SAS. Luckily my fiancee has a Jeep. So that'll be the crawler.

Who was telling me they added a locker to there prerunner or was about to do it I looked back thru the thread and cant seem to find it.

 

I think silverspool has one on his soon to not be prerunner.

 

I have a truetrac, however @reasonselzzz does just fine with autoLSD and some skinny pedal


Did anyone go to that Toyota HQ thing? how was it?

 

I dont know shit about any of it, I do know if have the traction control button which im assuming is the "autoLSD" (havent seen any crazy fairies or talking animals while using it Haha) I am interested in doing a locker set up though how do you like that truetrac?

I did go to the hq got there early to take some photos for my self, the security didnt even know we were going to be there. 21 or 22 trucks showed up and we got a few pics and then went and ate. Not super eventful though if ya know what I mean.

 

How many skipped out on the tab this time?

 

None that I know of I only had a couple beers cause I had ate already trying to waist time. I went to cars and coffee that morning too so I wasnt trying to drive up there twice.

 

Hit the button once for AutoLSD. The truetrac is great so far, it works and pairs great with AutoLSD feature. AutoLSD uses brakes to slow down the wheel without traction whereas the truetrac transfers torque so you arent losing any power. The truetrac however requires at least a small amount of traction on both wheels to start working, if one wheel is in the air, Autolsd will apply brakes then the true trac takes over.

That being said, AutoLSD alone seemed to work plenty fine for Reason.

 

Well I know that it has 3 different settings on, then press once for the autolsd, and if you hold it then it turns completely off, so in the completely off position is that similar to locker? Sorry if thats a dumb question as this is my first 2wd truck every other one ive had was 4wd.

 

nah holding it down is TIMYOYO mode... thats it motherfucker, youre on your own. once is trac off, auto lsd on, stability on. holding it i think is everything off, including autolsd - might be wrong.

nothing is similar to a locker except a locker

 

hahahaha

Ok then with that being said then, adding the truetrac doesnt take away the autolsd then its just strictly adding a traction option?

 

Its a limited slip that doesnt take away power/torque. Its a torsen type differential that transfers power to the wheel with traction (mechanical LSD) as opposed to taking away power from the wheel without traction (eLSD).

 

if you can find a TRD OR rear axle with a locker they make a after market switch for it that works great, its what i used for the axle that i traded with @hoarder23 and i can lock it when ever i want

Yeah I understand that part I just wanna make sure ill still be able to use the autolsd if i were to add the locker.
