AZ BS Thread 4²0

Drove in the snow and muck up to Chevelon Canyon Lake one winter after the roads opened.
I noticed coming back down that the truck felt odd on the highway. Especially the curves.
Turns out I had 3 inches of adobe clay and ice covering the entire under carriage and about 1 inch of the same up the rocker panels, front grille, and tailgate.

Conservatively we had about an extra 800lbs of dirt along for the ride. Took me MONTHS to get it off. When I sold that truck there was probably about 100 lbs of dirt left on it.

 

Every now and then you should remind him that you bone his mom.

 

Not a Toyota but somebody needs this.

 

I bit the pillow on getting the full magazine set. OUGH

But now I will have 3x17 and 3x20 rounders, which I think they make +1 baseplates for which would put me at exact parity with the P320 as far as mag capacity.

The more I read about aftermarket parts and their various headaches on the 2011 platform the more I think "It's fine, leave it!"

 

Feeler for rear shocks so I can make some changes.

2.5x16” triple bypass kings. Tuned as seen below. Will do a full rebuild before sale if they go so they are fresh for the new owner. Can revalve if you like but I’d recommend against it unless the new application is drastically different.

$1500 for the pair.

Can pull off the truck, rebuild and be packed for shipment within 48 hours if a deal is made before the end of the month.

What's next?

 

Found a deal on some 3.0 5 tubes. Been wanting to step up for a while but even with this deal they’re pricey and would need to sell the current shocks to offset some of the cost.

 

Fresh Dakars and Mickey's to replace my old Dakars and Mickey's.

 

Mucho sexy

 

That could be the poster for the new Arby's commercial. "We have the meats."

 

Sexy AF. Love the machined wheeles!

 

This made me laugh. Nice one!

 

Just like you Big Dog.

thanks man! they aint no beadlocks and 37s.. but they'll do. lol I do like the machined and my plan WAS to get the machined Dakar beadlocks for this thing, but I'll save those for the trail toy.

 

Freakin sick dude, almost feel embarassed to post my setup now.

Huge huge ups to @prise for selling me the GX wheels, slapped some pizza cutters on there and she looks goooood.


Fills out the stock un-chopped wheel well pretty much perfectly, IMO


The front looks a little like a skipped leg day if you catch it directly edge on but there's tons of people out there running pizza cutters.


Also @TailHook I have not forgotten about your cell range extender, Cali Raised just takes forever and a day to ship. I have a bracket coming in that will mount it up on the hatch and sit it the slightest bit proud of the roof line.

 

Fuck the haters. I think it looks good.

Anyway I just got a reroute done at Scottsdale Muffler. Holy shit were they fast!

 

I volunteered to be assistant coach on my son’s tee ball team, and we had our first practice Thursday and first game today. It was such a shit show in the best way absolute chaos.

 

With the state of parents these days, all thinking their kid is the next Nolan Ryan, let me be the first and probably the last to thank you for stepping up to the plate (pun indeed intended) and making a positive difference in these kids lives.
