Wisconsin area events, Mod Day May 24 at Thatbassguy's

Did you already buy blocks?
I have the 2" front, 1.5" rear blocks, I'm not using anymore.
Supreme Suspensions, I believe.

 

I have blocks that have been on for a few years now, actually the same supreme suspensions I think! Ive been waiting to redo suspension until i finish adding weight. But I really want to go to 33s.. need to figure out that

 

With new wheels or spacers?
I'm still using the +25mm stock wheels with 1.5" Spidertrax.
Brings it out to -7mm.
Sidewall pokes out about 1/4".

 

The renegade is going to alaska too? Hopefully it can get sorted quickly.

 

You can fit 33s with 0 offset wheels

That's about where my silver truck is at

 

why stop at 33s?

 

Because Tinkerer's Adventure hasn't done 35s on a Taco w/o suspension yet

 

No. It isn't. Gas is the big expense on this trip. He had the car scanned. Seems it's only a bad wire for the speed sensor.

 

Did he make it to you? Hopefully you guys have officially started the adventure! Bad weather is definitely part of the fun, especially if it results in a fun campfire story later on . Bon Voyagee!!!

 

Now why would we do that?

Spend Baby Spend

 

I should be able to make it out this Saturday - I'll have a couple interior mods to work on, possibly some electrical work too. I'll bring tools and can bring extra jack stands if needed.

Edit: Also, we're interested in Tigerton next month, just didn't book earlier due to other events/life stuff. I can call to ask about multiple trucks on each site, if anyone is willing to share - looks like all sites are booked.

 

I just called and left a voicemail. Hoping to get a call back today at and I will let everyone know what they say. It sounds like we shouldn't be pushing the max amount of people just the max amount of vehicles per site in a few cases. I really don't expect it to be an issue since all of our vehicles end up paying for trail passes so they're actually making more money per site off us this way

 

They are already mounted on wheels, I'll even throw in the lugnuts.

 

That makes sense, for sure. Thanks for doing that and for slaving away this Saturday over breakfast while @Pixeltim heckles you.

 

Hey guys. Despite the weather, I enjoyed this weekend rumbling around northern Wisconsin. Made sure all the recent mods I did were good or if they needed tweaking. That being said, mod day just got a little easier because there is one less set of leaf springs to install. Apparently, the complex garages got broken into...and they made off with my leaf springs. Insurance is a hassle...home vs vehicle claim. Now, I still have the shocks; can those be installed without the leaf springs? The whole suspension was giving me a 2" lift or am I up shit creek? Either way, I will still be there; say hi and help.

 

Well that sucks,
yes you can install the shocks but will have to undo the axle end to install the new leafs.

 

Well, I have a set of 1.5" rear blocks to hold you over until the springs get sorted out.......the blocks will keep you level.

Would still need some new/longer Ubolts.

Edit: It beats driving around Titletown, squatting.

 

Damn! That's total BS!

Yes, I believe we should be able to install the Shacks either way. The front struts are way more work than the rear shocks. But, the leaves are a little bit of a project as I understand.

That's very cool of you!

I don't know tacos that well. Will these work on a second gen?

 

I thought he had a 3rd gen.?
Either way, '05-'23 should be the same.

You'll have to run that by one of the techs.
I'm a wrench turner.

 

I have a set of factory leaves with the 3 leaf progressive pack. It will give you 2 inches
No ubolts or shackle bolt though.
