NW WA Meet / BS Thread

After re-gearing I also blew up a TJM air locker. It was pretty funny when the guys at nitro gear said they never seen a locker grenade that bad. Only 1 week after install - but they are good sports and worked with me to put an arb in there.

 

I'll be looking for a set of 35s soon. Not sure if I want to go 16" or 17" wheel with them.


@Usethe2nd when are you going for 37s?

 

17s so you have room to upsize brakes. Also will have enough sidewall with 35s for the 17s to look acceptable on the Taco

 

I went 17 to clear larger brakes, here are my 35s next to 255/85/16 coopers:

 

That looks like more than a 2” difference

 

buy my 2 MTP’s and my axles and the other stuff i have that you need...

I’m considering going to 16’s

seems to be more options for 37’s

 

I think the Coopers are just short of 33, don't remember. The Kenda's measured at ~34 3/4.

 

Any extra cutting to fit?

 

There will be, yes. I haven't gotten that far yet. CMC on the 26th and figuring out the other cutting to be done with a few local members since I can't do it on my own because of recent surgery.

 

All ready did the cmc and pinch weld smash.

 

Need to check it out when you’re done.

 

i blew out front wheel bearings at just over 50k. id reccomend it.

 

I wouldn’t. You can drive ona noisy bearing for a really long time and his aren’t even making trouble yet. Besides those can be had at any parts house and easily swapped in the Napa parking lot or wherever really

 

Has anyone here used steel-it yet? I’m getting ready to fix up my rear bumper and tent rack that I just spray painted a few years back.

 

Still on for this Saturday?

 

Guy who does shocks out of Colorado uses it on shocks when he needs too. Seems to hold up well

Just added a link to his Instagram above

 

Sending you a PM now

 

Shit I need to do that as well, my kings didn’t hold up well over the years.

 

I used it on my sliders. Other then the price, it’s not bad. It did chip away on areas that see a lot of impact from rocks from the tiers. That being said we’re talking thousands of miles on gravel roads and my rattle can skills are, shall we say, maybe not the best. All in all I’m happy with the product considering prior to Steel It the sliders had regular spray paint on them and within a month weren’t looking the best. I’m planning on repainting them next summer and will probably use Steel It again. Make sure you get enough that you can get at least three to four good coats. I think that’s part of my problem. I only had enough paint for two coats.
