1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I drove my truck with both the sway bar on and off, both on and off road.

My driving consists of both short and long highway drives between 30mins to 3hrs before I hit fireroads.

Those fireroads are taken between 7mph to 20mph depending where I'm at.

I don't crawl or off road like these guys, but have been in situations that required rear locker, clearance, and skinny pedal.

I noticed much more control while going off road; my truck didn't roll much to one side or the other when I hit dips or when over rocks.

No sway bar, very little weight up front (stock bumper with 600lb springs), stock control arms, I managed a tiny bit of flex even with regular travel coilovers

 

Nice

Interesting you did rock bars before bumpers.. after I get my suspension taken care of that'll be what I do next. Just not sure on the best order of operation

 

Nope, never had an issue with that.

 

Cause I'm careful of what's in front or behind me lol what I'm going over though, well, that's different....

Should I go buy these?


It'll be a year before I get them installed if I do

 

Ditched my sway bar a couple years ago, but with 600# springs you don't feel much difference. There is some difference but not enough to feel dangerous, and I daily my truck in the LA area. I've made plenty of evasive maneuvers at speed

 

I would.

 

Found my dog tag

 

I've not priced new but they looled like a good deal to me, those welds on the cross bars he's got makes me feel like ill have to grind and reweld em all

 

Your care package made me start organizing shit and realizing what little I have.

 

Think I’m already over this semester

@xtremewlr thanks for the headsup.. after looking up prices on new rock slider kits, I'd be an idiot to not buy these... I'm going to meet up with this guy tomorrow



Now you guys can make fun of me like you do Dallas because imma sit on these for AWHILE

 

Nice find
Nevermind the booger burn welds
I thought you were talking about sitting on YOUR THUMBS like Dallas

 

I have every intention of installing these as fast as possible.. no thumb sitting for me

It's just definitely going to be awhile since I want to do a lift kit first. And the lift comes after the steering refresh... i also have to sprinkle in the bed bedroom work somewhere in there

 

I'm waiting for classes to go 100% back online again.

 

I wish they’d go 100% in person again. I think I do better that way.

 

But my semester isn’t gonna be any fun anyway...

Thats all @what road

 

My P0420 code still hasn't popped back on since I swapped rear O2 sensor

But live data shows I still need a cat lol and my gas mileage says I need it as well. I'm only able to get 16.5mpg in town when I should be getting 18
