Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Some of multiple setups might be related the struggle between instant and delayed gratification. I'm dealing with it right now. It's going to take me a while to get the suspension and armor I want. Luckily, I already have wheels. That's one less thing I have to spend money on.

 

oh yeah, fully agree. It probably wasnt the most financially responsible thing to go with the ADS (or kings, etc) in one shot but hell, 98% of the upgrades on the truck aren't the most financially responsible choices but i wouldn't do it differently. Plus, I was able to save up some cash for a year before I pulled the trigger.

 

It was just over a year before I had enough suspension and armor on my truck before I felt I could go wheeling with y'all.

 

Neat idea, but I don't I would go for it. We already have 4 high that could be switched on the fly. Gas mileage would take a hit and I think I would rather spend that money on a front locker/upgrading the gears to 4.88 or 5.29's. Gears helps big time with that 3rd gen "retarded" tranny syndrome. Just my two cents.

 

Is it an open diff in the front?

 

That's about what I'm looking at. Just means most of my trips this year will be camping instead of wheeling.

 

are they performing well? you happy for now with all OME?

 

I've got added weight, so the 886 coils are nice, and I don't have any complaints yet. I don't see myself going LT, so this may be it for me. I will be adding the rear Nitrochargers soon (maybe this Saturday after the HC rear), so I'll report on that later.

 

Brace yourself...the little dick jokes are coming

 

Spotted this sexy ass ginger.

What a shame they make you park on the street.

 

Now that

arrived, I'll have to this weekend!

 

I can probably stop by to lend a hand on Sunday on my way to Reno.

 

Hmmm, might be happening on Saturday. I'm supposed to be down in the 209 by 1pm on Sunday.
I'll let you know.

 

Yes.

 

First piece of armor I put on the truck was sliders after I messed up my rocker panel in Hollister and then installed BAMF skid triology. With those those things you can do lot of stuff, but your truck will be about an inch lower due to the weight.

 

The torsen is an LSD. It's what Leonard has in his front (TrueTrac). It's an option if you don't want a selectable locker.

 

Ha. oops I started to write a message and then people walked into a meeting. Accidently posted it unfinished.

 

You're telling me. Always worried about her

 

My plan is sliders > suspension/lift > front bumper > skids > rear bumper.




I should be ready to rock summer of 2020.

 

This is my dilemma. Instant gratification of getting OME all around, already got dakars and enough money to upgrade. Instant gratification of getting my procomp off and upgrading. OR take a couple years to save enough for kings and be bothered by my mistake of buying procomp and run the procomp for those few years. This would put me back a little on upgrading to Kings, but I wouldn't go crazy in the meantime.

I like the instant gratification route. I think it will be healthier for my obsessive mind for the next couple years.

Shit if it is good enough for @Twizted it is good enough (for now) for me. I must right my wrong of installing procomp coilovers and rear shocks.
