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

Thank you for your service @4x4_angel @hoarder23 @Naveronski and any other vets that I may have missed

Rookie!!! I'm on engine #3. At least I made it to the meet!

 

Ls swap? Haters gonna hate.

 

I know it's far for some people, but @Silverspool and @Tundra2Play stopped by Four Bullets Brewery in Plano/Richardson for a small car show. They have a lot of parking in the back and we were able to walk around the vehicles with our beers. Might be a good spot for a future meet

 

Thank you

 

You forgot @Zac of all trades he's the real war hero

 

Office supplies really get you going, eh?

 

Thank you for your service @Zac of all trades as well

 

How was it? I wanted to make it since havent been to Barnwell since jambo but BBNP has been planned for a few months with a buddy.

I dont really wash mine anymore but when I first got it and cared about keeping it clean for the first month or 2 it wasnt to hard to get in the nooks. Now its washed by mother nature. Just teach your kids how to wash it and sit back with a beer!

Nice! I really need to get mine installed on my power tray. Its been sitting ready to go for a few months now...

Sweet!

Thanks! Just got back from BBNP tonight. Since getting my truck I try and take a trip every year for my birthday. Its a great way to celebrate.

It really doesnt support the note 9. Thats some crap. Guess I wont be upgrading my note 8.

Welcome!

Sorry for your loss. What the plan now? Fix it? Sell it for scrape and buy more toy cars? Engine swap to something a little harder to blow up?

I'll have to check that place out sometime. A meet there sounds good to me!

 

Happy belated birthday. Sounds like it was a good one.

 

Keeping it, built engine going in

 

The wife almost got runned over today while grocery shopping. She was in the checkout line when an elderly woman (not the one pictured) drove through doors.

 

Thanks!

Sweet, what kind of power are you looking/hoping to get out of it?

 

Wtf!!! ​

 

Dammmmn glad she didnt get runned over!!

Ill pump more boost out of the new one, 300ish hp. Roughly 75% increase over stock

 

Nice, that should be fun!

 

Anyone on the North Dallas / Plano area running C-load Cooper AT tires & 4wd - trying to determine if the road noise I'm currently hearing is typical or if I've just gotten used to an atypical noise level. I know my tires have some significant cupping to them now - cause currently not exactly known nor how long it's been going on - but can't quite tell if the noise I'm hearing is in the tires, or elsewhere in the suspension/drive-train. Wanting to do a quick ride back-to-back to compare.

 

Oh yea that right... ummm yes... a winch would be sweet, so would an awning!

TIME FOR MOOOOOOAAAARRRRRRRR BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

The one on Denton Hwy?

 

Vibes? Describe them

Confirmatory

 

I hear a harmonic "wa-wa-wa.." that becomes a hum at high speed, that I suspect is due to the tire cupping, more concerning is the intermittent steering wheel vibration under braking conditions at speed. I'd hoped that the new left wheel bearing and getting the alignment done would solve the issue, but had it happen a couple times this weekend while on my trip up to Oklahoma. Not getting any matching vibrations in the the brake pedal however as I have on other vehicles in the past when the brakes needed work. Another trip to Discount for a balance and/or a brake inspection next up on the checklist.
