Stainless hardware is $$$

I spent $55 last night to get 50 metal studs. Nut + bolt + 2 washer each.

 

But yeah, stainless has always been pricey, but at least it works out to be a buck a stud for the time being.
but for now, i'll save up for suspension upgrades for the time being then since i'm debating what to get, the 5100s seem like a safe bet


(Eugeen making fun of my small truck made me insecure since i'm on the same ride height as an SR)

 

Yea 5100's are great, I really have enjoyed mine so far. No complaints.

 

thing is, no idea what the other stuff does. i'd be going to 5100s since everyone and their mother has done so, just like i did with the KO2s. if everyone has em, it must be good

i'm looking to lift the truck at most and inch or 2 before changing the tires since i still run the stock 30s, which i might change to 33s at the largest. also the weight of the SSO slimline bumper doesn't help the front end

basically i want to start looking into what to add/ change for the tuktoyaktuk trip and my texas trip (to meet with a few buddies and head to big bend for interior camping) next year, since i'm trying to convince myself to go.

 

Suspension is really not that bad, just shocks and springs. Get the right springs for the load you have up front, same for the rear. Get the springs to carry the load you want in the bed.

You already have 1/2 of it, the 5100's figured out

Everyone has already done it, you just need to read and figure out what you want. Took me much reading to figure out what I wanted/needed.

 

@DuboissTaco you still active and from the North north? If so, @llamasmurf you might have another friend up there

^ might have got him

 

They do declare a 2-year unconditional warranty:

 

if its free delivery and what not thats awesome. Rigid lights charged me to ship my old lights back (pictures were not accepted) in order to be able to get considered for warranty.

Still warranties are getting tricky since a lot of people take advantage of them....cough @Norilsk cough......and is why companies like...Oh I dont know, lets say toyota...may be hesitant to fix stuff.

 

got my winch need to get a bumper now

 

What's wrong didn't floss?

 

Bad drivers...

 

had a few of those as of late. some people aren't even there when they drive...
had one chick driving for 20 minutes with her hazards on. didn't have a clue in the world

 

Nah man, that's just a tard warning ...she was justified

My question is, why were you tailing her for 20 mins bro?

 

Oh definitely, I keep meaning to go out there on a Wednesday when the Jeep guys meet.
Lol even printed out a Jeep logo I was gonna stick on the front grill and sneak in and park beside them.
I figured that would generate a few laughs and break the ice.

Been meaning to do that for 6 months now, either remember it's Wednesday at 21:00 or working that evening.

Can't plan anything , work has been nuts.... Was supposed to finish at lunchtime today for example... back home at almost 20:00 Back to work at 09:00 tomorrow...
Hopefully Sunday off 'cause I'm pooped... (Blues Music Playing) ...

 

Depending on time of the day, that covers maybe two blocks distance in District 6ix...

The horn continues to be the most frequently used button on my steering wheel.

 

she was going 40 on lakeshore. which in Burlington is a 2 (1 both directions) lane road. Traffic piled up bad in the other parallel roads so it was faster to go down it that to fight elsewhere. rush hour of everyone who works 9-5.

 

oh good, i'm not the only one that knows those jeep guys. yeah tried to say hi once but that backfired
socially awkwardness as a tacoma guy trying to make friends with jeep culture.

 

Well 'errr, well hum... I probably should not jog you memory...
or maybe you're being a gentleman and not mentioning ....
that Wednesday Tacoma raid on the Jeep meetup,
was from my fat fingers making the suggestion here,
few more peeps piped up and were going to join in....
Then when I got home late that night...
I see this pic on the forum of a nice Tacoma surrounded by Jeeps...
No other Taco's in site...
I got a brother ambushed
