NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Not sure exactly, I explained to Joey at SDHQ and he just sent me new compression valve stack and new 2.5" pistons. I'm sure i could call and ask for more specifics if you would like?

 

nope. ive bought 2 tacos there. they just leave shitty stock shocks.

 

they do have good inventory. i drove off the lot with this truck after only 15 minutes. guess having great credit and x-mas eve were in my favor.

 

I got these to prevent that on my icon top hats:

Simply cuz I don’t have a plasma cutter (not even gas at the time) but Jim has one I think. I put them on top of the coil bucket sandwiching it between the shock and the 3/8 spacers. Icon top hats break because of deflection in the coil bucket, this will prevent that until engine cage goes in eventually. Jim has a plasma I think and can probably cut you some donuts too. Cheap piece of mind.

edit: did you rebuild and revalve the tears too?

 

Skip to 35 sec mark. First time out here in my own truck. Didn't wanna try that harder ledge without a legit front skid plate...so that'll be on the bucket list for next year.

 

Nice Wheelie!

 

Thanks! I have not done the rears yet.

 

How much were the new shim stacks?

 

Shim stacks were $30 pistons were $70

I wonder if i should order shim stacks for the rears too.

 

They do have a nice selection, it would be worth it for me to look at a stock rig there instead of buying something fucked up with a hockey puck in the front and some sweet deep dish pizza bro rims on it and paying XX above the actual value of the truck for stuff I wouldn't want anyway. However, I am not in the market.

 

I always assumed they just had terrible prices and old sold trucks to guys that don’t know anything about trucks. Wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong tho.

 

I had all four corners done a few years ago by Down South when I still lived in SD. I just gave them all 4 shocks to rebuild tho, not sure what I paid. It was a lot. Quite well worth it tho

 

I got mine there as well. Bone stock. Preapproved loan. Told em what I was willing to pay and had no fucks about just walking out. I think it took about half an hour

 

i was that guy.... i didnt know any better. at least it was a s/c rig.

 

i knew what i wanted and s/c was it. i knew they would say kick rocks if haggled. i just paid asking price. never a day sorry since.

 

Haha, yeah you’re right about the S/C.

 

one of my best decisions.

 

I wish when I bought mine I would have looked for one with a s/c, its ok though. I have had a lot of fun turning my stock pile of shit into the lifted pile of shit it is now. Will hopefully get the 35s in my garage put on the truck on Wednesday.

 

You can still ship them, pricing isn’t to bad. I had some issues when I first bought my shocks from them and had to send them back twice.

 

mine came with 35's. rubbed real bad. switched to 285's soon after. still want 35's but on the fence about the performance loss, and where to put a spare one. post some pics when you git er dun.
