Wyoming B.S. Thread

Yes you should. Have tons of places es to explore right out the door. Gonna be quite different from cali.

 

What did you put them on? We almost went with bronze but the Mrs. got the final word.

 

Brandons rig is a 2nd gen dark blue double cab short bed. Pretty sweet truck. Full mid travel with bypasses and such.

 

I think that color looks good with the bronze personally. I always liked bronze with the green 1st gens like yours too.

 

Yeah I bet it looks great. Don't think he is a member on here though. Maybe Marc or Brett will snag a photo.

 

I think I'm going to have to lift the front a tick now too as the tires are just barely rubbing when turned under compression. I was trying to avoid that as it's our dedicated highway rig.

 

where does it rub? Just take a hammer to it. Or leave it alone and let it rub haha

 

Just plastic bits. I just don't want to hack anything up....er, at least until it's out of warranty. Trying to keep this one stock for awhile.

 

well, let it ride then haha tires will eat through the plastic at some point haha

 

Well you have a valid point. The Mrs. is hearing deficient and even with state of the art hearing aids, she probably can't hear it. But I can and it'll bug me when I drive it.

 

Idk. Unless you spend some good money on adjustable coil overs with a nice shock, you won't have the plush luxury ride with a cheaper lift.

 

are there a lot of tacos in Wyoming? It seems like everyone drive a ram.

 

there are plenty. But there are also ton of farm people and ranchers. All of whom mainly drive fullsize trucks as they use them daily to haul equipment, hay, or animals. Their kids grow up and want a fullsize..and so forth. In Laramie, WyoTech is there so there are a ton of diesel heads there that soup up their dodges and chevy's.

Plenty of tacoma's though. That said, you aren't going to find the hordes of tacoma nerds like you do in Cali. Barely a half million people in the whole state of Wyoming..so yeah.

 

I disagree. I've used (keyword) little spacers in the past and there's virtually no change in ride quality, unless you go with the taller ones, which don't do much except give you clearance. 1/2 to 3/4" would be suffice. I used to have a 2" spacer on the FJ before I went to the BP51s that I have currently. They stiffened up the ride but did nothing for off road ability. At the time I didn't off road it that much but then things changed and now it's our dedicated trail rig/overlander/off roading truck. This 4Runner is just a daily driver and will rarely see dirt, we can use my truck or the FJ for the good times!

 

Until June actually. They announced in November that they were shutting down WyoTech again. Corporate crap. There are few instructors who are involved in attempts to buy the school and getting it going again, but you know how rumors can be. Last I heard, it would take a couple years to get it up and going and get them accredited and such. Who knows.

 

ahhh shit. Didn't know that. That sucks.

 

Like we need another economy crash in this town.

 

eh. Bound to happen until the old guys finally realize that Coal, Oil and Gas are not going to fund the state any more and look into other ways.

 

after welding it together, cheeaaaaaa bruuhhh! going to be fun going back on lol! Glad I got some good use out of it in moab!

 

ouch. Why did you do that? haha gonna be a total bitch to take on and off after its seen more love from the rocks haha how much does it weigh? haha
