Orange County CAF's: up to no good

You talking a one day thing or???

Is John Bull open in the winter?

 

I'm in for what ever. I'm dying to get the truck out. @dtaco06 time to do a shake down run already with your "Ugly 4runner"

 

Ahhhh yeah that's a problem haha. Tell her your leaf springs were defective and then needed to be warrantied with the new version
Damn it'd be chomping at the bit! Only a few more months to go

I still need to get the truck, SUA is a good long ways away in the future. I'm just overthinking and planning shit now haha. Not many reviews on that TC kit, and I've never seen a real comparison between the two. Just anxious to see what you think.

 

With the recent "overlanding conundrum" I have noticed a similar theme up and down the east coast where Im at with these dudes...they don't really conform. When I say that, they might occasionally roll with a TW guy if they were prior friends, but they never seem to mingle and really leave their "overlander" inner circle forum. I know many guys on TW classify themselves as "overlanders" which is fine, but they tend to have the laid back, open arm TW mentality and don't get all butthurt over RTT discussions and the like. I was curious if over in the OC, if the overland groups out by you guys do the same shit? Over on the east, these guys all have big egos and act like its a blessing from the almighty for them to grace us with their presence and talk up big game about all their flashy ornaments on their ride.

As much as I want to accept all forms of the "wheeler," its just hard to like these fags sometimes.

 

I don't get out enough to contribute.
Sorry.

 

Yea brother I think a review is def due although I bet TC probably wouldn't like my thoughts haha. I will tell you this now, if you have the coin for the install or the means...invest in the DMZ kit for the future if nothing else. Sure the TC kit is cheaper and the skill set is only involved in the spring perches, but man you are stuck with the stock geo that can at best cycle only 12 inches for droop WITH a relocation. If you install it in its stock form without a BAMF/AG relocate then you need to roll with 10's instead of 12s. To get another 1.5 inches from stock in terms of droop is sad if that is the route you want to go without relocation. VS with DMZ its stock all the way to 17 inches!

As far as my current method, I got a plethora of mountain bikes in my room. I decided to move the bike rack out about 6 inches further so I could stash the leafs behind! Stacks of boxes is one thing, but leafs...you cant hide them shits! Got damn near 6k just chilling in my room now in parts.

My bitchness will end soon!

 

oh yes. I forgot about that... you can have mine when I SAS.... in a few years... haha

 

You hit the nail on the head! Sounds like the same sheeple over here

 

Yea Im gonna have to check out those dbags sometime...they sound like real winners. We had a few T4R guys roll with us before, and although we never see them on TW I view them like TW guys. I think where the overland guys get nuts on is doing upgrades that could be sensible to the right "wheeler," but they get self conscious about actually using their equipment or being forced to put it to use in a group. I get it, some people live through their vehicles and not the function itself which is like a bunch of vette owners at a doughnut shop. To me, its like biking where you either have the bike to hit the shit and do it, or you are that poser that people ask why did you spend all the money to have it to begin with? Some wont ever meet that challenge, but because of this, they get uber sensitive.

Shit I went LT just cause I love the DH life and bombing shit occasionally around here when I can.

 

I know Im across the planet, but I think I got some buddies who have my stockers laying around if you need them. That being said, would taco parts work on a runner?

 

Install is no issue. It was until I helped a friend do a 63 swap on his pre-tacoma pickup. It sure as hell wasn't easy, but it is comforting knowing if we go slow and measure 10 times we can install something that's completely new geometery and it works.

Are you building a bedcage for the DMZ kit? Or have you considered the archive 14" shock relocation? Ideally you'd want 16" for those springs correct?

If someone actually runs stock location with a SUA ...

fuck yes!

 

That dude definitely crossed a line by insulting @dtaco06 ugly ass 4runner man...

 

That first run feels amazing. I went through almost 30 gallons of fuel last weekend.

 

No one calls Danny's ugly ass 4runner ugly except for us who have seen it in all it's ugly ass glory!

Did you really? Damn! That turbo is thirsty!

 

Oh I've seen it,

 

Glad to see my west coast brethren got their shit together! Man, so many dudes I have to explain this to on the east coast as they are scared shitless of getting things cut on their truck or heaven forbid they spend a dollar on fabrication. As far as the bedcage is concerned, I got his bolt on bedcage and 16 inch king triples waiting for their day! Im sure the 14 inch relocation would be a decent set up, but Im 3.5 up front so I need all the travel I can get for the rear.

I cant wait to blow up those speed bumps causing the grandmas running for the hills!

 

Glad I grew enough balls to go for a ride in it finally. Hahah thanks Mike, it was like cutting through butter

 

Yeah, we've all seen it. But the new guy coming in can't do that. You're safe! Looking forward to meeting the guy behind all the awesome gifs/memes

Hahaha oh man they're out here too. This thread though... half the people in here are willing to cut something just for the hell of cutting something

Niiiiice!
Yep, can't wait to see the end result!
