Darwinism will take care of most of the spandex speed bumps.
Apparently that plastic helmet makes them invincible. Fucking Douchebags, all of them.

 

Wow. A good friend was hit by a 90 yo lady and killed on his way to work up in boulder, two weeks before his wedding. Y'all some assholes.

 

New to Colorado and I'm trying to find a shop that will do custom swing out bumpers. Do you guys have any recommendations?

 

I'm in Boulder but willing to drive to get it done

 

Thank you

Sucks your friend was the victim of poor reflexes and cognitive speeds. Could have been a kid waiting for a school bus, I'll still poke fun at it.

 

Insain Fab could do it, but they might be hard to get a hold of (Facebook is your best bet). A few people have mentioned RA Fab recently. I haven't seen @3378jakesr5 around lately, but he built his own rear bumper with swingout.

And I'm definitely not defending the "3 wide because I'm a cyclist" type, they could use a scare. Me, I've been hit more than once and don't ride on the road, especially in CO.

 

I Was quoted $200 to move clips on 5100's and alignment. Normal?

 

Sounds reasonable if they are pulling the shocks for you, setting them, and doing the alignment. Probably about 2.5-3 hours of labor plus the alignment.

 

Seems like a steal, is that a shop price?

 

Leaves are well into the golden stage with some yellow and orange patches near Hoosier and South along the mosquitoes.

And it's currently snowing at the top of some of the mountains with a good dusting down to 11,500 or so.

 

#needsmoresnow (says the skier / ice climber)

 

Yeah, I'll take snow.. Even though it's not ideal for working on two houses breaking ground in a month and a half.

 

My $25 score. Used once

 

Sounds like an excuse to do some leaf peeping this weekend?

 

Ok Tundra peeps ... 1st gen preferred. @Star-Lord @thefatkid

I'm tossing the idea around a little. Any high mileage issues, or common issues? Is it worth jumping to the early 2nd gen bloated body style for the 5.7?

I want a half ton with 4 regular doors (not suicide on rear) and 6ft bed.

Just realized 08-13 Silverado have suicide doors with extended cab to get the regular bed, no bueno, and you have to bump up to the 6.0/6.2L in the 2500 to get four regular doors.

14-15 GMs have the regular style doors in access cab, but there are at the top of what i want to spend. The more I save on the truck purchase, the more that goes into suspension and a camper for it.

End goal is tow 12ft trailer for work, equipment will get towed by someone else. It will not be for rock crawling, but long trips with the slide in camper, dirt bike on a front hitch mount. Good extended travel or maybe mid travel for my rally needs with biggest tire easily possible... Looking like 34s for most.

 

Get the '05 or '06. Earlier versions had less horsepower and something wonky with the 3rd gear I think
might be asking a bit much with 34's, camper, trailer and dirt bike. No trailer and it would be just fine. Re-gear it obviously for the 34's

 

Oh yeah, Camping mode would not have a trailer, and work mode wouldn't have the camper.

Is a re-gear a must with that size? What are you running?

 

Yep, they do all the work for our work trucks.
