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

Nice! Mountain passes are fun!

 

Yeah, it was a great weekend. Started to snow on the way down from engineer pass, which was interesting

 

ADS

 

ADS rears are stupid expensive, for less money you can get the generic bigboy Kings I have and the shock relocate

 

63 swap, you'll love it and it's not too expensive

Looking good, it's an awesome place to visit. Did you stay in Ouray?

 

Want to buy some 12" travel Icons none resis that work on the stock setup... you will need some better bumpstops though...

Lol

But in seriousness... If that is what you are wanting...

Get Resi's... I am looking at the King 2.0s 12" with the Resis - Part Number PR2012-SS - DownSouth Motorsports Link or Accutune Offroad link
Do the shock relocate, either BAMF kit for 12" Shocks or the Archive Garage kit for 14" travel shocks... but with the AG, pretty sure you will need to run spacers with the wheels you have for them to clear any shock you run.
As far as the leaf pack... I would say either the Dakar Heavy since you would be pulling a trailer as that would be the easiest setup... but you will prob not get the full 12" of extension unless you also did shackle flip or Heavy Hangers... (I would come help you do those BTW since you helped do mine)
Or Chevy63 swap and all that jazz as that would be mo better...
Also, don't forget the extended brake lines as well...

Welcome to rear end upgrade land Mr Longbed with a Locker...

Which reminds me that I need to get with @SMKYTXN again... but this Pelfrey stuff has distracted me...

 

I camped outside of lake city

 

Pretty, I'll have to look that up. We might be planning another trip back there next summer and if we do, that looks like a good place to stay. Where else up there did yall explore

 

Make sure the feet are level. Just coat it in oil set 5 min turn on high wait for smoke re-oil, let cool and repeat steps like 3 or 4 times. I always take a paper towels and oil it again after I scrape clean it

Morning folks

 

Murning

 

im looking at king or fox right now. I want to buy the super flexy stuff when my truck is paid off. Right now im just trying to get the rear vibrations to stop. I plan to do a couple more things to the truck but i have some big plans for when the truck is paid off. Would be a lot sooner if i didnt have a trailer im sinking money into...

Ok cool. I bought the cover, and the spatula kit. Should be here in a couple days.

Lake city was pretty chill, definitely quieter than Silverton, side by sides were everywhere. The drive up 149 from south fork was good, a lot of scenery to look at. We hit alpine loop on Saturday, then the rain rolled in durning the afternoon and got pretty gnarly later on. Just chilled out Sunday and headed back monday. Two days is not enough time to do that area properly. I’d definitely go back and hit Imogene,Black bear, etc. especially once I’ve changed suspension and tires. The switch backs coming down from black bear look awesome

 

Silverton was nice to see but I wouldn't stay there. You can do all those trails stock. One guy in our group was and he didnt have any issues. We did 4 days and that wasn't enough. I wanted to see Telluride, we got there and they had a power outage and just said it could be out a day or a week.

 

Colorado is beautiful.

Make the Durango/Silverton/Ouray trip for the views and scenery, not the wheeling. You’ll be disappointed if you expect an off-road park type challenge.

 

Any you guys need some gloves?

Yup, we need to talk about what it's going to take to get your relocate in there. Technically you should be doing a 63 swap at the same time, just sayin.
