That's not armor

 

Shhhhhh.

She’s old. Working on mainatenance. I don’t make the big bucks like all you fuckers

 

Also.... #RACETRUCK

 

I dont know what these big bucks you speak of are.

 

Uh huh....wheeling and thrashing the guts out of a $35k suv

 

$35k is the low end model. His is special.

 

I ain't broken nothing. Yet.

 

Thats right. Premium. Make that $38k

 

With some options, and rare color in the area I bought it... so...

 

I went with the Headstrong Offroad complete Bilstein suspension kit.
- Bilstein 5100's
- 2888 Coil Overs (Might swap these out to 886's if the front end droops after my @Mobtown Offroad front bumper is installed)
- Deaver AAL
- No UCA upgrade

This resulted in a 2.5" lift in the front and a 1.75" lift in the rear when my DCSB Taco was stock.

Right now it looks like this would run you about $733

I mean... you're not wrong. And in August I'll be cutting up the front bumper! Yay!

 

You’re scared.

 

Little bit. Which is why randy will be doing most of the cutting while I suffer from a mild panic attack.

 

Looks like we're putting together a meet this Sunday at 12:00 at Frisco in Columbia. All are welcome!

 

Get UCA's it will help you on the long run!

 

Thank you Jerry, appreciate that. ECGS or Needle bearing replacement? Were you level or did you have some rake? I don't tow a lot but might, and I do haul crap in the bed sometimes. Recently had 12 bags of mulch, and let it sit the weekend. I know springs will, well, spring back but just wondering if over time how this affects them. And too, if the day comes and I want to do HC bumpers, skids and rails I want to be able to add on, not replace.

My biggest concern is how well this setup performs at higher speeds over potholes, rr tracks and bridge deck joints. Obviously anything will be able to withstand that better than the stock hitachis, but knowing all this will help me decide.

Otherwise it sounds like a great setup. Thanks again.

UCAs huh, hmmm.

Have you figured out what the noise is yet Peter? Is there such a thing as "slap" in the drivetrain or am I making that up? I listened to your vid again and that sound is metal but muffled, as if it is coming from inside the transfer case. To me. But I am just guessing, I really have no expertise in any of this.
