209 TACOS - B/S and shenanigans

I passed my HAM test! I studied at home and just did the test. Right as I was starting the test, one of my surgeons called with an emergency surgery, so I talked to her for about 5-7 minutes. It’s funny how you can be stressed about a test and then it pales in comparison to something more stressful. So I walk back into this crowded room and just blitz through the 30 questions I had left. I ended up being the second person to finish, even with my phone call, and bam only missed three and I was out of there and drove straight to San Joaquin General.

Well that’s done now for the next 10 years.

 

For anyone interested in the Ripon Overland Bound Meet-Up:

Damn. I'll be camping for the lady's bday on 4.20

 

I'm going to try to make it to this one.

 

Posting this in the right thread this time lol

Just got home from Swier Tire in Ripon, those guys were pretty cool. I dont think i have the TW typical alingment specs, but i dont rub, track straight, feels good. Im happy with their work and their prices. 10/10 will return. Thanks for the Recommendation @Papadave418

I let them know you sent me there, you should be getting your royalties in the mail sometime soon lol

 

Sweet another $200 coming my way from an alignment.......

Haha glad to hear they set you straight....(see what I did there)

 

Think leaving this in our cart will work?

Maybe my fairy god-wife will make it magically disappear from our cart and appear on our doorstep via the magic brown suit guy.

 

Hey... Has anyone heard from Ricky lately? @510to209Taco

Haven't seen him post in a while, just wantin to check up on him, see how he's doing.

 

Those 887s didnt get me as high as i would have liked, so I ordered some 1/4” top plate spacers from headstrong in an impulse buy this morning

 

Didn't you already have top plate spacers on your other set of shocks?

 

I did but they were 1/2”

(From what I’ve read) you need to Replace the studs if you go 1/2” whereas 1/4” you can simply slide them in using the stock studs.

Another 1/2” would put me to the height I was before we went to town, which was a good height (cvs looked good that is). Just after a liiiiitle bump. Hopefully they don’t settle even more, when I measured that night I swear the fronts were at 23” (now they’re at 22”).

 

I'll be at the basecamp meetup on the 27th. Headed there from merced and will be staying the weekend. If anybody needs some parts ran that way or back to merced area let me know

 

cant remember who it was that said they had the stock exhaust from a 2nd gen... just trying to figure out where it is, when i'd be able to grab it and what you want for it

 

I have my stock 2014 dcsb exhaust if you want it. i'll be at the meet.

 

noice. yeah i will gladly take it off your hands.. im either going to go completely back to stock, or try and add some pipe after my flowmaster in hopes it quiets down a bit (at least get it to end further back instead of directly under the cab)

 

Who's going to the Base Camp thing? And does anyone want to convoy over there?

 

Yes, and maybe.

 

yes, and maybe. here also. i might be dropping my girl off in Concord before going to the meet. not sure what she's wanting to do yet

 

I might depends on if I’m rebuilding my rear shocks. Hoping to have it done before that weekend.

 

@foxrcing07 Power Trays finally got back to me with whats been taking so long:

Is this still going to work or do I need to look for another option?
