Idaho BS thread in the PNW

just saying..i think its bound to happen to you on Cliffhanger haha

 

there is no ego damage with a 4 cyl. JW is a 4cyl, and there are no issues there. Its not a drag truck captain muscle car, so IDGAF how slow it goes.

 

im holding out that it wont happen

 

But JW has a crawl box..and lockers...and a supercharger..

plus you get better mileage..haha

sorta..

 

it will haha you have minimal lift out back and no locker..your destined to dent them haha

 

That was the joke.. haha

 

wait isnt the super charger sitting in his garage?

ON THAT NOTE! I actually got a mile per gallon BETTER with the bumper on than I did the fill up before with no bumper... so clearly the more armor i put on the better my fuel economy is.

jesus monte. Or I can just avoid slamming into a rock because I dont drive like a moron. Speaking of which, im done taking driving advice from someone who cant drive down a 1 1/2 lane dirt road without rolling their truck

 

Refer to this post^^^



On a side note, I talked to my Training NCO at drill yesterday and the Army is currently going through massive budget cuts and he seems pretty confident that they won't let me go to both WLC and AT so I just might be around for the Wyoming meet!

 

Yea he hasn't installed it yet..but..he has it! haha




Hey now..i also happened to drive everything that week with one hand and a manual..so STFU! haha

But just letting you know..i think body damage for you is pretty high on that trail..Adam took some..hell i think damn near everyone did but JW.

 

Awesome!!!

 

Exactly! Guys on 33's with rear lockers had so much trouble on that obstacle that they slid into the rocks. What makes you think that you not having a rear locker will allow you to drive better than them?

I hate to bash on you here Mark, but the odds are high... Although maybe when you come to that obstacle you could just have them strap you up it right off the get go. Sounds lame but I'll bet that saves you from mashing up your bedside.

 

Well see, that SC does no good sitting on the floor.

And the breaking your hand part doesen't say much for your driving ability, as you still broke it WHILE SITTING DOWN, DRIVING. Seriously...who the fuck does that

And i will join the few people who DONT get bedside damage. Ill show all you guys!!

Ceeeeelebrate good times COME ON!

 

x2

 

pfff..did you even try crossing the crack? i think anyone who has would agree and understand how it is possible..coulda been worse as Mike says, could snapped my thumb backwards.

 

false. Silas made it..and several others on the other day

 

come on, not saying im going to do better, or even equal, just that I don't plan on turning my bed sides into a crumpled coke can! If I try it and impending doom is near then ill strap it and call it a day. no biggie. knew i would be doing it anyway,

im only kidding, calm down


and no, i didnt go in it because i was a novice bitch. Now I slightly more ability and bigger balls...which isn't really a good thing.

 

HAHAHA what a rag tag group of trucks we were

 

I know right!! I feel like I am getting a little too ballsy anymore... (refer to sig pic...) I really want to trailer my rig down to Moab the next time I go because I forsee bad damage... I need a damn crawlbox! 4.88's have made me to skinny pedal happy...

 

good lord, you and monte both...what happened to LT brady?

 

No funds..., so to speak. I'm really, really tempted to do a stealth mod of the Defined Engineering SUA kit, but if I get caught, it would be a bad deal... possibly ending in divorce... and I probably would get caught, cuz someone would notice it at a meet and ask me about it in front of her...

I think the defined kit would be sick. It uses the factory hangers so it has a really steep arch, so it won't be as much of a drag for crawling like a lot of SUA setups are and it can be run with the factory shocks so I could do the upgrades in steps, and it has fairly heavy spring rating so sagging under weight shouldn't be much of an issue. Most LT guys are finding they can't get enough weight in the back to let it perform well. I could run some shock hoops with it to get some great travel out of it as well.

I only have 1 issue with it so far. It only provides about a 2" lift. I'm not sure how well it would perform if I added in a shackle flip kit and longer shackles to get it to a 3+" lift to level me out and keep my clearance up for bigger tires.

For now I can live with my mid travel front. It performs pretty well so far. The only thing that could make it better is some Hydro bumps but those are so pricey they will likely be waiting for the full LT kit, when I get permission to spend that money. haha
