AZ BS Thread 4²0

Definitely not the cheapest place. But Mike on the retail side and all the bar staff have always been awesome. Went to try a couple scotch's to buy my dad a nice bottle for his 70th. Ended up buying the bottle for $30 less at total wine. But did have a cocktail with the wife at the bar.

 

Also good to know. When I lived in the valley, BevMo off Happy Valley was my go to since it was closest for me, Total Wine by Arrowhead was next in line for booze purchases.

 

Same, but theres a "craft beer" store next to my apartment. Looks like a liquor store, need to check it out sometime

 

Damn, my kinda place. Other than the comments about the guy being a crook/its expensive. Still gonna have to check it out.

 

Hey all, getting a impromptu meet up set up for this weekend. Either Saturday night at Pavs or Sunday Lunch in Central Phoenix for beers and bullshit. GoFastCampers will be present and on display. If you have a preference AZTW facebook page has a poll going. I'll post final details Friday

 

I knew this was a thing, but didn’t realize it involved so much commitment

 

Good to know. What time did you get there yesterday?

 

Too pretty to get scratched but I dig the heritage badges and the lux interior finishes.

If there is another one of these things, let me know as I would love to join.

 

Solid man, I got an AZ drivers license!

 

-Easy to fit at least a 33 under a 2nd Gen, IDK about a 3rd gen.

-I got clickers up front, have only touched them once. Not sure if really worth the money for me, but mostly because I heard that you can only go more firm, you can't go softer than the regular valving from what I know (i.e.: clicker and no clicker fox have same valving AFAIK, so clicker can only make firmer ride), someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Blunts FTW

hahah nice

was going to guess a Fox's location, but I'll have to check it out.

Sunday for me, have casino night on Sat.

Should have brought a RTT and made everyone your parking lot bitch.

 

Yes that is right - all the way at 0 clicks is zero compression damping and every click added only makes it firmer.

Somebody mentioned here that if you valve your shocks right you don’t need clickers and that’s true if nothing on your truck is changing.

In my case I’ve changed quite a few things from adding a front plate bumper to ditching a fiberglass canopy to adding a bed rack so my weight loadout and distribution has changed significantly. Having the clickers to firm up or soften the damping as the build changes have been invaluable.

 

I would argue for faster drives that have smaller bumps could be advantageous to crank up the stiffness. When I had clickers in the rear, I would always stiffen up before hitting trail so I didn’t bottom out.

 

I like how the AZBS thread has turned into some legitimate tech talks.

Speaking of which my Brembo rotors came in and I am pretty happy with the casting quality. Looks on the same par as Centric, so no concern there.

We’ll see how the UV cure coating holds up, it’s strange though, looks like a metallic flake clear coat.

 

I'm running Centric Rotors and Pads on the mini.. few days on em so far and they seem great.

 

Which is finished and back on the road!

 

Man, you spare no expense lol those are some good looking rotors.

 

If you don't run a front sway bar the clickers are GOLD, wish I they were an option when I bought my Radflo. My Friends have the newer Radflo and keep it on firm for day to day street driving and then soft when off-roading. Or if their weight for full campout load changes it's really helpful. Mine were valved for the full weight with camping gear, and still runs like butter as a daily.

 

Lol the brembo rotors are cheaper than OEM
