Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I know right. haha. I can only imagine how long it took to get that up and running. I can't tell if they just ran the driveline to the rear diff on the tall wheels or if they transfered power from the fords diff to the tall wheels, and then there is the way it looks like they did the steering on it. haha

Nada, just sitting around waiting to go to work.

I'm just MJP'ing around waiting on the diffs to arrive


What's up with you?

 

CHRIS!!!!!!!!!





Hi

 

You finally got a Taco picked out?!! and yes she is not a fan of Burley. Luckily the PT clinic she is shadowing is in Rupert (I know pretty much the same thing). haha. She is good for the most part. She gets to sit in on a total hip replacement surgery today, and everyone once in a while she will have a vasovagal response and pass out, so it could be interesting We don't really know why she has them though, as they almost seem to be completely random, and she has only had a handful of them ever.

 

How goes the battle?

 

Vasovagal. haha. It's like when people faint at the site of blood and such. There are lots of different kinds of things that make people faint, but hers is random. Granted like I said it has only happened a handful of times. 1 time was like 15 minutes after getting a shot, another time she was walking down a hallway, another one was she had just got home and was walking towards the house and there are a couple more I don't remember why. She had all sorts of blood tests done and everything checks out, so the doctor figures it is just a vasovagal response.

Did you son come home with you from NY on leave or something? and he picked your silver huh? haha

 

Quite the eventful night last night eh boyz...

Since Monte is on the topic, IMO i would not start stacking AAL's or adding more leafs. Like you always say, do it the right way. Your just going to have headaches down the road and you'll really kill your leafs. When i got my All Pro pack installed, it was night and day difference. At first the ride was very rough because i didnt have any weight in the back. But as soon as i put 100lbs in the bed, the ride changed dramatically. Im not saying you should get the all pros and do the relocation. Im saying get the right leaf pack for your purpose.
Take a look at BoxRocket's setup. I think he has the OME Dakars with the Dakar D6XL AAL. He usually has a lot of weight in the back so it sounds like his springs setup is perfect. Maybe sell what you can out of your leafs and look into that.

Just giving my thoughts.

 

Good morning threadigans

 

Morning Adam

 

hows the great white north?

 

Morning Adam. Going to check out that silver runner today?

 

you better believe it.

 

GL man hope it's a good one and if it is like the Taco the '05 might not have the TPMS so no dash lights!

 

That would be AMAZING I hate TPMS it's such a joke.

 

Well... I see how it was a good idea, but it would be nice if we could turn it off some how, like go through a series of steps of turning the truck off and on and pushing the odo button so many times and what not like the seat belt chime. People like you and I are going to know when we have a low tire, hell I can see all 4 tires on my tacoma when I walk up to it.

I see vehicles all the time driving around on super low tires though...

I have some bad news, I googled it and it didn't take me very long at all to find some mention of the '05 runner having tpms...

 

Wet as fuck

 

well that sucks

same here and no hope of sun for a while

 

yup, not till next week anyways...

 

On a Side note TPMS is useless by the time the light goes on you're already screwed if there's a blow out.

 

Haha. Yeah pretty much. I think it is more of a fuel economy/tread life thing for making sure your tires are properly inflated at all times.

 

Maybe. It's a federal requirement on anything 08 and up
