SW PA/Pittsburgh and wherever camping, wheeling and beer trips

my meals are usually bare bones, since I barely know how to cook. Or I eat Mountain House. But ok cool I guess its good that I didnt get rid of my CB yet.

 

Me too. Usually canned soup or mountain house in the morning. Just wanted to give the fair warning my buddy Mike is slow to get started because he’s preparing bacon and omelettes etc.

 

I eat like a caveman when I go camping. I’m about one step away from foraging random berries from the woods and getting the scoots.

 

good stuff and as previously stated i havent had to re-inforce them. would suggest getting back to the transfer case.

id be in for labor, we are headed to mountain ridge to pound trials all weekend.

 

There is a hitch skid group buy going on. Figured this might be useful.

We got down to Canaan Loop last night. The road seemed to be in much worse condition compared to May.

 

im sure everyone else has the same idea you have about getting out in their ride....im sure that road has gotten hammered within the last 2 months...

 

@Armyhater458 are you joining on Labor Day?

 

I completely missed this whole thread somehow. To save me reading through all the post can you give me the skinny. There is a possibility.

 

Meet in mt. Pleasant PA on the Friday of Labor Day weekend at 1:00 and head South into WV for camping . Dirt/Jeep roads . I do have the Allegheny and Shanendoah Overland Route loaded.

 

Sub’d

 

Cool man, glad you found us

 

I'm out unfortunately, got tickets for a monster truck show for the kids that Saturday. I'm always down for something like this so keep posting them up. Op sending a pm

 

anybody up for a Saturday Laurel Highlands Day trip. Im working nights so maybe meeting around 2 in Mt. Pleasant? I didnt check with my Wife yet to see if we have anything planned, but we usually do not. Light Jeep road and easy dirt. Mainly to just get out.

 

Taking the kids to presque isle this weekend. Ordered a new leaf pack, bushings, and u-bolt flip. Should be up for some trips in a few weeks.

 

Did you get Deavers?

 

I actually went with ATS for a couple reasons. The price was roughly half for a very similar product. With our weight they go back to a thicker OEM style leaf pack, instead of many thin ones. Their lead time was also 2-3 weeks, plus shipping. ATS was only 2-3 days. I went with the heaviest pack that blackout14 was selling. I figured I can buy 2 sets of these before I would spend the same on one set of deavers. I may regret that, but going from 1250# per side to 2350# per side should handle it much better. I just hope I don't end up with a deuce and half ride.

 

When i had allpro expos, I could tell a difference in the ride due to the thinner leafs. But they flattened out fast.

I am also not prepared to spend $1k for the deavers yet. Eventually maybe. But I think i spent 550 on dakars, and they last for about 3-4 years with my weight

 

This set up was about the same, actually a couple bucks cheaper than dakars. They also have the anti friction pads. I'm opting for poly bushings instead of the supplied. Also taking the opportunity to u-bolt flip. I wanted a better bump, so it just seemed like the right time to do it all. I really want to relocate and do a 12" shock, but going to wait until my frame campaign is done.

 

Nice. As soon as I got a new frame i had to redo my cmc to fit my tires, and i welded my sliders back on. Also have the bamf shock relocation, but i kinda wish i went with @ARCHIVE . I believe you can fit some awesome triple bypasses in the rear with his kit.

around Black Friday, im going to be ordering total chaos Front dual shock mounts, and some King dual shocks
