209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

That's why they are goin down the tube. If it's anything like how sport's authority did their liquidation sale I will not be stepping foot inside a second time. I ended up walking out with earplugs.

HARBOR FREIGHT BABY!!!

 

pretty dang happy, finally got the bluesea block installed and got the wires off my battery posts.

 

Sheesh! Clean those terminals!

 

Hello everyone Any meets coming up?

 

I’m not sure about meets but there are a couple of us heading to Bodie next weekend. It’s an old ghost town on the eastern side of the Sierras... should be a fun little road trip. We are camping Saturday night and heading back to the valley on a Sunday.

 

What’s the best route in? I heard one way is better going in than the other?

 

When I went to Bodie I took Bodie rd it was pretty boring. Like you mention I have heard that there is a back road into Bodie that is a much better (fun) way to get in. Looking at google maps I see Bodie Masonic rd. But until I was able to look on a larger device I cant be sure that is the correct back way in.

 

Last time I was there I drove my civic. It was a bumpy ride, but pretty straight forward on the main road.

Is anyone else going to this OB thing?

 

I’ll be there

 

I’m not sure what the best route is. This is my first time going.

 

Suspensions are done. From the measurements it looks I have about 1.25” rake on the back. I’ll have take some photos and remeasure again next week. Will be test fitting, or maybe not, my front/rear bumper and skids soon. More than likely I’ll probably have upgrade to the 883 springs as well?

 

Ok loaded question, for my 2018 OR what is a good suspension for $2500-3000? Kings? Icons? Fox? Looking for 2.5” lift, like a little forward rake. My overland set up is about 500lbs

 

Everyone on here will tell you kings, I have to admit I will be replacing my rear fox with King 12” smooth bodies sometime next year. I currently have fox 2.0 all around. I think fox and kings are similar where icons are a digressive type shock.
Other things to consider are you going to be running a plate bumper with a winch at some point? This would make you choose what # springs you wanted to have on the coil overs.
For the extra weight up front. You could always go with a Dakar leaf pack in the rear.

I think what I would do is contact DSM and talk to them and tell them what your going to be doing with the truck and they should be able to fulfill your needs.

 

For you fellas

I really like the dual adjustment that the Fox shocks have

 

Ran those coopers on my work truck. Got a solid 60k out of them and i drive that truck like a bat outta hell. Did prettty good on the fire roads for a 2wd too, no complaints for a sensible at tire

Add: now i put ko2s on the work truck, well see how fast i round out the corners lol

 

You talking about the “clickers”?

 

Yea the newer fox have high speed and low speed clickers

 

Kings have those as well.
