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

Never date a horse girl.
You will always be her third love; coming after her horse and parent’s money.

 

You know this is probably true....

Firestone lifetime alignment any good? Better than tandem for the price?

 

Yes, avoid horses, they are a worse money pit than a Tacoma. Buy some miniature or meat goats, more fun and you can eat them later.

I have never made a dime on a horse, ever!

 

Going to add this to the Texas Event Page... and will also look at coming to this as Mega Run I heard is pretty fun...

But may still be in that 2WD mode though...

The mods are getting real!

Ummmm don't get a horse unless you really want to throw money away.

Better investment to get some Donkeys and some cows or lease the land to a cattle person if you have enough land. That is what my grandparents do with all their acreage and they are able to take advantage of the tax stuff with it being farm land.

But one advantage is that they know how to ride... so there is that.

 

I've got it but they will only try and set it to manufacturer specs. I know of others that were able to get more done with it, I just haven't found the right location that will do the alignment I want on the truck. I know @hoarder23 has said he has had good luck with it before.

 

Interested in knowing this myself

 

@Beef Nachos since you had the skate shop do you have any suggestions on where I might get some grip tape die/laser cut for the flat sections on my new bumper. I dont want to just throw some on there and hand cut it.

 

I’ve always had it for my vehicles, but I don’t know about custom specs for a lifted vehicle. Might be situational basis by location

Hand cut is the only way I know

Flip it over, mark it out, and trim it down. I wonder if a rubber coating or something would work better for wet/mud reasons. Grip is a PIA to clean and gets ruined fairly easily

 

Stay away from firestone!

 

i have 3m saftey tape, usually put on step for grip, it works great and cleans off pretty decent with a pressure washer...

 

Yeah thats how my brother does his boards. Just wasnt sure if you maybe knew of a company that might custom cut. @Beef Nachos

Ill check that safety tape out @Zac of all trades

 

seriously sound advice

 

Or have the area taped off and sprayed with line-x. Raptor Liner is a good DIY. Both are tough and last a long time.

 

Im going to have it re-power coated so that might be an option.

 

You'll prob have to powder coat it first, then have them spray the areas you want. I'd double check on adhesion of line-x on powdercoat.

 

Pretty sure everything has to be bare that you would want to add it to

 

Wernt you looking for one of these??

Maybe so, that'd be good info to know.

 

I have Firestone's lifetime alignment on my 2 cars and never had any issues. I'd get one about once a year, until just recently when I stopped driving them. The Accord is stock, but the Supra is lowered. They never hassled me or tried to sell other services while I was in there. I was going to get it for the truck next time I need one. I planned to take my alignment sheet I got after the 285's, CMC and bumper and ask Firestone to get the numbers close to that. I'm sure the experience varies by location, but I've had no problems out of the Firestone in Las Colinas or Carrollton.
