New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

Oh man that was fun today but I hate the fact that I have so much to do to my rig to even have a chance without trail damage on this trail now. That go around for slightly less capable rigs is now out of the question. It is winch city for me now.

 

And yes, @AllTacosFloat 's (new to him) rig is the one he deserves and would have eventually built his other into if it wasn't totaled. This thing is ready for the big show.

 

When it's more manageable we will get John up the fun lines

 

Why just John? You can join too.

 

I've gone up those spots many many times. Mabell is my testing grounds lol. Without taking breaks I can go up and back down in about 40mins or less. John has yet to do them since you need the height and locker to get over spots and his last truck wasn't at the build level of his new one.

@tacobell007 that closed off area on the left with the "go around through the trees" is a huge change. It is extremely hard to see and figure out going up but coming back down you then see it and are like......oops......well now, that's a huge change for a lot of people now.

 

I wasn't sure how far over they closed but should be able to go around most stuff in the center sections at least. I'm sure it was slick up there today

 

The bypass that hugs the hill tightest (through the trees right at the top) had like 3 signs all over at the top, with nothing at the bottom signifying you couldn't take it...felt bad about it but there should be something really clear if it's actually closed off now

 

Poll up for an indoor mod day, can fit 3-4 trucks inside with plenty of outdoor spaces too. Depending on when will depend on what if anything I need to get done.


Let me know what you’re looking to get done so we can plan accordingly and get people space and hands

 

Availability dependent - unfuck my skid. Front rotors are climbing the list. The warped rotors are getting old.

 

I'll have to see and I can talk to Don if needed

 

I have a lot to get done... but, I might be changing things up too....

 

To what?

 

In but not sure if I need anything. I'll lend a hand and maybe change plugs while I am there.

 

I think I am going to build bumper #2 2/16-2/19 so not voting for those. Dont need anything done though so if that weekend works for other people go for it.

 

Not sure yet.
Might just bump to 6112swith 650s, but... might go further... maybe fox,or?
Planning on hammer hangers are well, with all the weight out back, and my swingouts are still in the basement.
I do have something clunking up front, and that will need go be addressed as well.
And going to cave and do CMC, as well. Wheel/tire shopping is... a PITA...

 

Johns truck ruined my plans of doing 7100's in the rear. Thing is just so silky smooth. I have the 2.5 dsc for the front but I am thinking 2.0 x 14 LSC for the rear.

You people are bad influences...

 

Anybody got a link for edge trim for the bedside cut?

And anyone have a good idea for the bedside support?

 

No to edge trim.

As for bedside support, could you make a bar similar to what HC bumpers do? but maybe tack it to the area you cut?
