New England B.S. Thread

At least you learned how to bounce your head off the steering wheel. When are you going to put those sliders to work?

 

'twas my hand, I swear!

And I parked over this rock just to tap the sliders haha

 

Nice video. Love the sand hill part. I wanna go on that part of the trail. I think Sunday is better for me. I'm busy saturday with family. So Sunday ftw.

Btw I forgot I have p rated tires now so I can't do anything too sharp and else they will slice. If anyone has some cheap sliders, I'm willing to buy. I don't care if there the chrome ones. Just something to beat the crap out of wheeling.

 

Thanks. The sand hill is fun the first few times, then gets really old, really fast. Sorta like

Quick! Trade tires again for the weekend!!

 

You can go wheeling with p rated tires. The tires I ran are on Alex's truck right now and we both have wheeled with them with no problem at all.

 

you can wheel with P-rated tires... LT tires will slice just as easily as P-rated, the difference is the thicker sidewall. If you didn't slice up your LT tires, you won't slice up your P-rated tires.

Also, I have never seen chrome sliders. Usually, if they're chrome, they're for looks or are just passenger steps and will not support the weight of the truck when you need them to. It's still better than nothing in some cases but ask Alex how well his running board sliders held up

 

Whenever there's a Saturday run people end up having to work.

I've got a 10 hour day at work on Saturday,yay!

Was that in the video? i watched it on my shitty work computer and it's all choppy!

I really wanted to see that! lol!

So whoever is going ,do you want to meet at the Mobil at 10:00 ?
Unless Rob is going then we'll meet at 9:00 so we can leave by 10:00

 

They perform beautifully!

 

Hey! Those OEM temporary sliders worked GREAT! (Until they were ripped off in a violent rock-smacking accident.... Totally unrelated of course)

But they hold up well. I don't know if tube steps would do ANYTHING except multiply damage if used. They're too flimsy. The only reason I got away with my running boards is because they're mounted flush to the rocker panels. No way for the step mounts to twist my paneling.

 

It was my hand, I swear!!

And let's meet at 8:30 so Rob can mosey on in at 10, only an hour and a half late

 

Oh ok I didnt know that. Good to know. I cant wait to go now

Well thats good. I got alittle worried me having p rated tires but I feel better now. I should be fine.

And Im just looking for the passeneger steps things. Im not looking for anything to much in money, Just something to protect while I wheel. I dont care if they get dented or whatever. Juts a cheap set for now.

 

I say we meet at 10 on sunday. I have to pick up this girl and I'm going to need some time. Whats the address to the gas station where you guys meet?

 

It's a joke Miguel. Rob is just ALWAYS late for these things.

5 Bradford Rd. Henniker, NH.

Lets have fun this time around. You hated the poker run.

 

Thank you. and I did not hate lol.

You bringing your gf at all. My friend thinks she is going be the only girl there and is like, I dont wanna feel left out haha.

 

You were miserable at the poker run! "Are we done yet?" "Is this almost the end of the trail?" "Are we almost done??" Etc.

My girlfriend Sarah goes everywhere with me. She LOVES off roading. Why would your friend feel left out? From what I recall, men and women interact sometimes haha

 

Ok we'll maybe I said alittle of those things haha. I promise to not say anything now lol.

That's good she likes to go wheeling. I guess my friend doesn't wanna be the only girl. She doesn't wanna be left out and shit. I told her she would be fine and that I wouldn't talk about trucks 24/7! Lol.

 

Hey guys, I'm going to be buying brakes online today. Some rotors and pads. What should I go for? Should I stick with oem parts or what. I was thinking oem rotors and some hawk pads. Hmmm?

 

Here's something to consider, why spend the money twice? If you want sliders, get sliders. Don't spend a hundred or 2 hundred on steps only to spend a few hundred more down the road on sliders. The only reason I have steps is I didn't know about sliders when I bought them. They would have been similar in price and sliders offer much more protection. As Alex said, depending on how the steps mount, they could end up causing more damage to your truck's body vs. if you didn't have anything at all.

I went with Duralast products. Lifetime warranty, can't beat it. I've heard the Hawk pads can really chew up a set of rotors. You have a fairly new truck, you sure you even need new rotors or do you just need new pads?

 

Ok lets set this straight once and for all. I am not always late for these things. I am always late for everything!

So basically you lied.
