Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

So these maybe up for sale. just seeing if anyone might be interested. great condition Toytec Boss 2.5 rear shocks less than 10k miles on them! $480obo. reason for selling, i might be getting icons in the rear to match my front. Figure i post locally(charlotte) before its positive to be on the market thread. apologies in advance.

 

Do they have the springs or is it just the shocks

 

springs? these rear shocks no springs needed

 

How do you wheel or use the truck? Do you go out at night along service roads and what not? Lights are a great addition and having an integrated one in the bumper makes for mounting easy.

 

I had an Amazon cheepy in mine. 20” single row. Threw great light at night. Dont feel like you need to spend hundreds of dollars on a light bar, cuz u dont

 

It’s a certified mall crawler lol. I’m all about aesthetics

 

I would look into the aluminum option then.

 

Damn I thought they were fronts, my bad

 

What’s the advantage there? It’s lighter, right? So I likely wouldn’t need to change my suspension? Someone said something about any damage would be tough to fix though?

 

Even the steel if it got damageid it would be tough to repair it's 3/16 so you can't really "body work" any dents you get in them. And itd be tough to bend back if let's say a wing got bent. They are stout.

Of you are running stock front springs I'd recc replacing with a little stifers springs.

Yes aluminum is quite a bit lighter. Think of it this way the more weight you add the more acceleration, braking, and fuel mileage suffers. If you don't really get off the pavement then having a ton of extra weight is more of a hindrance. Also the likelihood of damaging an aluminum bumper on the pavement is far less than someone who wheels theirs pretty hard.

 

Airplanes are made out of aluminum. That’s good enough for me

 

Aluminum can be very tough as well. @SC2SC runs an aluminum Slimline SOS bumper and his truck is far from a mall crawler. It's held up really well.

 

Beer cans, too!

I paid more for my aluminum Streamline for all the reasons @ThunderCookies mentioned.

For off-roading, I have not seen a center section off a full bumper- or a Streamline ever get more than a small scuff. The Streamline will also support winching. I also have IFS and Mid skids as aluminum and T case skid steel- all SOS.

Skids are a wear item for me; and I do wheel- albeit with 265's.

 

Pelfrebilt has filed for bankruptcy. Just read this on their instagram page

 

You're like 30 pages late in the thread on here and quite a few hrs. It's a big thing right now

 

They posted 3 hrs ago but my bad been working night shift and OT lately.

 

I'm all out of whack with this night shift

 

Night shift makes me a horrible person to be around. Godspeed, my friend! Go get you some sleep!!!


I had heard nothing about pelfrebilt going bankrupt either.. that screenshot is the first I’ve seen of it

 

Hard to imagine a company could go bankrupt after taking $1000s of people hard earned money that they knew they would never deliver on, 77 pages worth of people... And this isn't the first time 2001, 2009, and now 2018... I feel for those that won't see that money back..
