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

Fox 118’s RR

 

googling now!

 

Shock relocation? Or do you wanna keep them in the stock location?

 

Not sure that i want to go with resivor shocks. I dont plan to go fast, im more of a crawl slow kind of guy. I would like to get more travel out of my new ones though. Probably going to get some new leaf springs also.

 

ummm. I have the means to do a shock relocation, but do i want to spend the extra time and money is the next question...

 

You going to do shock towers relocation?

 

haha. Im not going flat bed and i dont plan to jump the truck. It will be going slow and keeping all 4 on the floor.

So what i would like is something to get a little more travel in the rear but not have to re locate shock towers, fab up new mount points, etc. Still paying on the truck. Once its paid off then we will talk more about cutting and welding on the truck.

 

Don’t you carry heavier items and are going to be towing a trailer? Resis will extend the life of the shocks before they need to be rebuilt and keep that oil cooler.

 

B110s are affordable and give some nice extra droop

 

I have a trailer that i am building/restoring right now. The tongue is starting to get a little heavy. Even more when the cooler is loaded up, and gear is packed into the tongue box.



Latest update on the trailer...

• got the grill in the trailer, 22" blackstone griddle, now to design/build cabinets around it.
• Lots electronics sitting waiting to be installed (LED lights, light switches, radio, speakers, power inlet, etc) Pretty much all the electronics are there, just needs to be installed.
• new 2" ball bull dog ball hitch being welded on
  

Its a bit larger than expected but that is ok. Plenty of cook space!

Also as an FYI on these griddles...

• 
  
  
  • says to store/use 3 ft away from anything that can burn down....
  • a lot of heat radiates from underneath the grill all around, so yeah i plan to keep it away from the sides when cooking
  • nothing else to report at the moment. Still need to season the cook top.

 

I've got the old foxes off my truck that aren't going back on or my stock set that's about to come off too

 

Got some good use outta mine this weekend my self.

 

Where’d you end up going?

 

how much you want for them?

And is anyone willing to share their battery voucher? haha

 

How did you season your grill? And have you had any issues with warping?

 

N

sorry I didn’t see that someone already asked that.

 

Heat it with mapping gas torch and use a nut extractor , Sears or northern tool has nut extractors. You can also use a chisel or punch .

 

Saw this one at Buccees.

Took the Tacoma on its first trip this weekend. Colorado, Alpine loop.
