209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

Mail lady brought some cool stuff today...



And so it begins

 

so whats going on this weekend?

 

First time shooting my handgun, not really knowing what I was doing.



Took an intro to handguns class last night, I was shooting at the two left side targets, lane partner was on on right. Much improvement!

 

@foxrcing07 You're such a bad influence

 

Looks good man! Props to you for taking a class!

 

I think, I’m going to take a stab at replacing my CV boots on my passenger side this weekend. Should be fun

Need to order ecgs bushing before I do the driver side. If I’m going to be in there already might as well do that while I’m in there.

 

Agreed, lotta guys think "i dont need fucking instruction" but they cant get a proper grip on a fullsize.

What kinda handgun you using here? What distance? Those are some nice groups there!

 

Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm. First target was at 15 yards, second at 3 yards, so that probably helped my grouping A LOT, but I had bad technique all around on that first one. Hoping to spend more time at the range in the coming months, and maybe take a few more classes.

 

Awesome man! Those look like good groups to me. Like Ryan said, props for taking a class, it'll help. And as you run more ammo through it, and just get more accustomed to it, your groups will tighten up even more as you go.

 

Hi,

Fairly new around here. Any recommended shops for exhaust reroute in the 209 area?

 

A friend of mine said to check out http://www.modestomufflershop.com/services.htm but I've yet to talk them. I need to get the same thing done.

 

Welcome!


I also need to do this. Was thinking about NorCal muffler in Manteca, its around the corner from my house and has been there for a long ass time so i assume theyre competent.


@CalTacoma09 any suggestions for guys in town? Or thoughts on NorCal Muff on yosemite?

 

I would guess it would be better to know where in the 209 you are located at.

 

Where in the 209 area?

 

I’m in Modesto

 

There is an exhaust shop on South 9th, across from C&C boat place. I've used that shop for probably ten years. They quoted me at $80 for exhaust re-route. Take them pictures of what you want. I do not remember what it’s called.

 

Ok I know this isn’t always an easy answer, but with a budget of around 3k-ish, what’s a good suspension for 2-2.5” of lift that works well?

For my travels I’m on the road A LOT as this is my DD and off road I’m hitting deserts roads, corregated roads, some rock climbs but not rubicon stuff. My gear is about 500lbs and I’m also adding Southern Style Off-road hybrid front bumper and winch soon. Soooooo Icons? Kings? BillyBob Swamp & Bayou Shocks?
3rd Gen truck.
Order from Head Strong? Could we throw them on for a mod day if I bring the beer?

 

If you post on TW get ready to be slapped in the face with "buy once cry once" or "Kings or bust"

I'm not promoting my own set up but I can say that I have been pleased with performance and the truck is also my DD and off-roading rig. Granted - you cant customize compression/rebound but I run the Bilstein 6112/5160s with a Dakar Heavy Pack and 700lb springs and it feels great both on and off road.

 

Kings or bust.

What size tires are you running right now, and what size do you plan to go with?
