Slash's "Budget" Built Trail Limo and BS, Now with Polls!

Haha he has talked about it a lot at work that’s why I know about it

 

2.5" of lift is about all the stock CV's can handle, so 2" is a safe bet. And I found some 2" lift spacers for it.

 

It's not the size of the ship or the length of the cruise, its all about if all the riders are satisfied afterwards.

 

oh god lmao i thought you wanted good mpg!

 

His existence rues fuel economy

Some of the 9th gen gambler people do pretty well with their fuel economy on lifts, but most of them don't drive as punchy.

Blah blah blah, smiles per gallon or whatever

 

lmao so here soon his mpg sipper will be getting 20ish lol or worse

 

Even with a lift and tires, it shouldn't go down quite that far.

I averaged 32.5 in it, he seems to be getting about 27. I don't think it'll dip below 21-22

Plenty of people with the lift, tires, tube bumpers etc hit the upper 20s easy, but he does have a heavy foot.

But yeah, if you're driving a small, lame car and you're not getting 25+ shits pointless as far as daily driving goes. That's why we've been waiting. No reason to pull the trigger while the car is still reliable.

 

HEY that one time you put it in fuelly it said I got 38mpg!

 

The Fuelly is right there v

Would be more accurate if you gave me all receipts
The only log that's from 2 reoccurring fill-ups was the 27mpg

 

I filled up again, so you can track mpg again.

 

Muahaha

Data collection

 

Anything over 20mpg is overachieving far as I'm concerned .

 

My taco got 21 last fill up.

 

He's doing better on mpg than I thought lol

Been driving it like a grandma this whole time for not much payoff I guess

 

Wondering if I should up the preload on the front or move to a 700lb coil.
I don't really mind the body roll, but it is a lot of body roll. Need to trim some more fender too... Luckily I had the foresight to buy an air panel saw.

Plan is to hit ATR 2023 next year.
Road to ATR 2023 Checklist:
Bare minimum:
-Weld and Install Skids
-Finish Sliders
-GMRS installed
-Install gusseted spindles
-Install Warfab Tierod sleeves
-Get Alignment fixed. I'm still back and forth on whether to install the Marlin braces or hold out and eventually do the JD pivots. I wish I had more fun coupons so I could just do the pivots and stop wondering. The stop gap would be to just have the tabs bent back and then throw a bead on them.

Extras:
-Possibly swap out the handset on my CB so it works again
-Print a new box for the brains of my winch so it's not a massive space suck in the engine bay.
-Throw one of the lightbars I have laying around on?
-Toss on a crossbar for the shock towers
-Fab some Bump stops
-See if I can jerry rig the truck box in till I can build my bed cage toolbox.
-Hardwire the ViAir in the engine bay. Maybe I'll run a cab switch to it? Also maybe run air lines to front and rear bumpers.


...I should buy a welder... or move in with @Sociopenguin I'm just gonna bring a cot and camp in your shop

 

Wooooo boy I'm excited!

Hey, as long as you're paying the bills I can't afford here and giving me a call from time to time...

I'd pay them for your groceries

lmao

 

sounds like josh is getting told to leave for awhile lmao

 

Awe, come on, you can't tell me truck-ation doesn't sound fun. Loving detachment is healthy we both value our own time
