Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

oshi
Okay ill remember that.

Im assuming youre pretty close to it, anything else i should know bout it?

 

Installs hella easy, take the old ones out and put them in(rear) for the front take wheel off, remove anti sway bar at knuckle, unbolt and set aside, two bolts on lower ball joint, remove both, undo upper strut mounts, 14mm I believe, remove lower strut mount and remove strut. Install the longer one by prying it in with a pry bar or large screwdriver and insert bolt and reassemble except for anti sway bar, if u are 4x4 install diff lower kit after everything except sway bar is back in really easy u may need an Allen wrench if your sway bar nut spins on ya. Like I said hella easy especially if the struts are assembled already. Good luck!

 

pretty easy. in fact, a fellow NorCal guy bjmoose did a pretty detailed write up on the install:

Several times. It's a pretty nice outdoor range. They have pistol, rifle, and shotgun stations. Also a "plinking" area for shooting plastic bottles and similar stuff (no glass allowed, however.) I don't recall how long the longest rifle range is, however.

They sell ammo, targets, clays, and rent eyes and ears.

 

Actually, I'm probably further away from it than the guys in Sac. Haven't been to it yet, but it's on our list of falls to hike sometime. That's why that tidbit stayed in my memory when it happened.

 

Yeah dude that place is chill, I've only been there to shoot clays so far.

 

I'm sure it very easy, everyone I talk to says it's a piece of cake. I've just never done anything like this before, closest thing I've come is taking apart my RC cars (and not being able to put them back together again) when I was a kid haha. I'm gunna give it a shot. I think it's important for me to do so that I learn at least a little about my vehicle and its components...

 

Anyone ever been to Coyote Valley in Morgan Hill? It's about an hour and a half trek for me, but well worth it. Phenomenal sporting clays, 18 main stations that you can walk, and an additional 18 up in the hills that you need a guide to use. They also have skeet, 5-stand, and I would assume regular trap.

 

Nice, the closest thing i got is an indoor range in watsonville, outdoor in monterey but only weekends, and the los altos. There are a few gun club ranges but not sure how to get into those.

 

I got some yakima cross bars that i can't use since there to short for my system. I just got some steel pipe and capped them at the ends to use for my cross bars for my bed rack. So these are up for grabs. They are already boxed and ready to ship on your dime of course. Had these for years, and where the bars to my old rack on my Isuzu Trooper

 

Anyone have info on how I can get access to my factory fog light switch? Trying to remove it but I can't get to it and I'm not sure on what to remove in order to get to it.

 

I have been looking for crossbars to mount to my camper shell, you think these would work? I am interested

 

Take a butter knife, and put it to the side between the switch and the dash, then just pop it out.


Or just pop out the blanks using that method, and use your fingers to pop out the switch from the back.

 

if you have the q towers they would. But someone has dips but i'll put you second. And yes they are perfect size for mounting to the q towers on top of a camper.

 

that or just go from under the dash.

 

Under the dash I can get the bottom row of the 3 slots. I cannot get the top 3 where my power inverter or w/e is and my fog light switch is. I'm trying to pop out the fog light switch and the empty slot next to it so that I can wire in new lights and switches.

 

butter knife

 

Pop out the bottom 3, then use those holes to reach up and pop out the top ones.

 

Butter knife trick worked. Thank you. Also MJ sent me a DIY for removing everything.

 

Apparently I am in the same hotel as the singer John Waite right now. Kinda cool I guess.
