Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Haha its going good. Got booted from the silver legacy or having some underage girls with us and planking in the escalators.

 

@ortlie:
Dude lemme know next time you guys go, ill make the drive out there, been wanting to go to PC for awhile

 

Hah well I didn't mean to sound like a pedo. Just two of the girls hat are 20 didn't bring their fake id's

 

LOL!

 

Yeah for sure. It wasnt planned at all, we were just bored and wanted to do something and that's what ended up happening. But if we plan on going again I'll let you know

 

Did you have a hard time explaining the ball gag, handcuffs, duct tape and zip ties?

 

All he had to do was say that they were yours.

 

sweet, sounds good.
You guys try to hit any sweet jumps?

 

Lol definitely not! I'm stock other than 5100s on all 4 corners

 

I'll be selling my tailgate, bedsides, bed, and Relentless fab rear bumper in a month or so. All in good condition. I may sand down and primer everything so it is ready to go and in like-new condition (minus the paint). And the driver side tail-light. I don't have the fenders.

Let me know if you may be interested and we can workout the details and prices.

I thought I'd post here before making it officially official.

Thanks.

edit: and this is especially a great deal for the rear bumper so you dont need to wait 3-6 months or whatever the wait time is now.

 

How much for rear bumper and do you have pics?

 

hmm how are those 5100s treatin ya?
Ive been wanting to start putting new parts on my truck but not 100% sure on where to start.
Im trying to read about it all in the Suspension board but not sure if im getting it all down.

 

I've been in other tacos with racing suspensions (fox and icons) and those are amazing. The bilsteins are nothing compared to that, but on the other hand they are wayyyy cheaper than new coil overs which is why I went with them. Better than stock too IMO

 

You're killin' me here, Spazzy. Thanks.

 

How much did all 4 run you?
And was there a height difference?

Im still pretty new to anything suspension wise.
I want to get a 2.5"-3" lift but not 100% sure on where to start.
not sure if ill need to replace shocks, springs, and/or leafs.

Not going for anything too nuts haha

 

Just got back from towing the TT to and from the Stanislaus Forest. These expos are buff as shit!



I was towing the TT and had the bed packed with heavy camping stuff (cooler with 8 gallons of water, 2 cases of beer, 3 bottles of soda and ice, a generator, other camping stuff) and the rear didn't sink at all. I was hoping it would sag 1" because I measured that I needed a 12" drop hitch, but I only got the 11" drop because I thought it would sag an inch. I guess that's a good problem to have, if anything.

But I do have bad news about my AP rear bumper/hitch. I had all 8 bolts connected from the bumper to the frame, but none of the 4 bolts from the hitch to the frame. I solely relied on the the 4 bolts connected from the hitch to the bumper, then the 8 bolts to the frame. I couldn't get the bolts to line up from the hitch to the frame and my bumper paid the price. The whole bumper shifted downward, pivoting from the point where it's connected to the frame.



You can see my hitch drop not straight


I'll be trying to readjust the bumper next weekend, and hopefully before my next excursion with the TT next month

 

pics have been posted and more are on my build page. I have done some touch-up work which is noticeable and it needs some more. BUT I can sand off the current coating and primer it for $500 local pickup and then you can coat/paint it however you want. I can drive to Sacramento or somewhere within a couple hours but it'll be mostly on your dime.

 

I don't know much about first gens, but I know most believe the best reasonably priced lift is bilstein/eibach combo with an aal or leaf pack or an ome set up with aal or leaf pack.
And I think I got all 4 shocks for just over 300. And the only lift 5100s give you is in the front and I set it at 1.75

 

Anyone have a 7-pin connector from their 2nd gen that they don't use anymore?
