Northern Virginia Roll Call

youll be fine for now, they lift will settle some and esp with the bumper. my stock UCAs sat about the same as yours, prob a little less after settling. BUT i had problems with them (i believe) hitting the coil if going over speed bumps too fast.

 

i saw them test driving your truck. they passed an area i had to go to today. it was looking real good man

 

hey, where are you measuring from? just curious....got home and measured mine...ground upto bottom of fender using a center line from the hubs...

FD- 37 3/4ish"
RD- 39"
FP 38"
RP 39"

 

I measure (from what I've read is the most accurate way) from the center of my wheel center caps to the bottom of my fender.

Matt

 

word.....gonna try that way too

 

Thats when you shoulda added "why were they drifting it and doing burnouts with the diff lock on?"

 

Lol!

 

Matt

 

they actually were driving it kinda fast.......like 40mph down their road..

 

DoubleD... Did you do the frame trim? Is your turn radius less now with those 305's?

 

Hmm...After this time, I'm thinking about not using them for any future installs. They pretty much trashed my center console, moving shit around and it's all not where it was. They also tore apart my glove box looking for the owner's manual and leaving some snacks I had in there on the floorboard. Their price wasn't too bad but it seems like they don't really care what happens to your truck as long as they get paid.

Matt

 

why would they be in your center console?

 

That is what I was confused about. I checked to make sure nothing was missing, all the stuff I have in there (flashlight, multi-tool, EZ Pass, etc) was just all thrown about. The only thing I can think of is if they were looking for my wheel locks or owner's manual.

Matt

 

Or when they were exceding the speed limit and the vehicle was hopping around, everything got messed up. Maybe they were doing donuts and drifting like someone suggested a few posts up.

 

I'd be pissed if they were drifting but it doesn't look like my tires were jacked up. I'll definitely be calling other places for future installs. They have a pretty quick turn around but I can't stand when they mess my vehicle up, leaving trash and moving stuff around.

Matt

 

I trust everyone, (when my truck is empty) - I empty all my stuff out of my truck before I ever take it anywhere someone needs to be in it.

I leave the owners manual and wheel lock zip-tied to it in the glove box. Thats it. Learned years ago, people are opportunists. Don't give them anything to set themselves up for failure and they WON'T.

 

Great seeing everyone on Tuesday night...sorry I could not stay longer. Next time...I'll book the evening. On a side note...my King's have come in...I'll be selling my OME shocks / coilovers...they have less than 8,000 miles on them...I will be keeping my Dakar rear spring pack. PM me if you are interested.

I'll take the dakars
Those Kings will be a nice addition. Sorry to see you won't be at the mod day.

 

I don't know how familiar you guys are with Iron Pig Offroad...but, they are top notch. They did 75% of the build on my 80 series:



They've done some work on my Tacoma as well...and they will be doing the re-gear, installation of the ARB front locker, and installing the RCV axles...I trust Cam and the crew there completely.
