209 Tacos: "Mod Day"

@Uphillshunter, @siznarf, @MattJakobs Thanks guys! Pulling the trigger on the kit. Will bring kit, food, beer and smokes! Looking forward to meeting you all!

 

I’m in, down to hang out and maybe put soon new leafs and raise the front.

 

Good to see you brother!

Maybe get that rear tire rub taken care of right?

 

It's a bit of a drive from SJ... But if you want to cone hang out I'll shoot you the info

And if you want to do leafs and lift the front we can do that too. We've lifted 3 trucks in one Mod Day before lol... and we have better tools than we did then.

 

Yea I’m down for the drive and will bring some beer as well. Any one know how to rebuild rear shocks

 

that’s for sure! On a sad note my store is still not open.

 

I'll add you to the info conversation. My address and phone are the first post.

 

The rebuilding part isn't hard... I just have no nitrogen to recharge them.

 

what about nitrogen?

 

Lol... I don't have any... you know someone who does?

(I don't like to speak for other peoples supplies)

 

yea it's available, I'm out of town that weekend tho (big fucking surprise) we can figure out how to get it to you

Also, which spring compressor does @siznarf need, the big one or the small one?

 

Do you guys worry too much about alignment after a lift? Like get it done same day or ok to go a few days before getting it done.

I hit a pothole on a road trip last summer and wore out one of my tires before I knew it due to the alignment going bad; like within ~500 miles I think.

Now I'm running scared about doing my front lift

 

I ran 6 months without an alignment after a lift (I didn't have any pulling or tracking issues so I wasn't worried about it)

I don't recommend that, but it's what I did

EDIT: I don't drive my trucks that much tho, one I drove 60 ft in the last 6 months, the other maybe 2-3k miles in that same time

 

Drove home from matts house after putting my OME kit on, drove it to the alignment shop a few days later. It tracked straight for the most part, just had some toe lol I was gunna say "I wouldnt stress it too hard" but after 500 miles?! thats nuts.





@TOP TACO @2BeersPlease comin down? its been too long

 

Matt had some over there ... I'm assuming those are the large ones

 

this one?

 

Not this time, maybe next time...

 

Yeah I was bummed.

I also replaced two cv boots on my old subaru and ruined two tires driving maybe 60 miles... alignment was significantly off.

 

Dislike

who is going to offer me party favors?
(jokes, i havnt partied since june of 2018 with you two haha)

major oof.

off topic but similar subject. I must say, i have been intentionally neglecting the KO2's on my work truck. Rotated them only a handful of times since i had them put on a year or so ago. At 65,000 miles they are lookin pretty beat, but not as bad as i thought theyd be. Cant wait to yank them off here soon and put some P rated street tires back on. My work truck (2015 Prerunner) rides like a janky wagon compared to my personal truck.
