New England B.S. Thread

haaa its me and some other guy right now, i hope no one just doesnt show up.

 

All that lift and you're only running 265/65's?

 

Sounds like an awesome setup. Did you get rear 5100s?

 

Well someone needed to show you how a upper control arm goes on . God knows you couldn't figure it out

 

Thats enough to do 4 grills haha. Where did you find that? I was looking around some bigger sheets of quality expanded metal mesh but i didnt have much luck besides some yards that requred a minimum order of alot more than i need.

 

I know for the ATO skid you need the TRD straps,i'm not sure about the Budbuilt ones,i sent him an email.

Good luck,Sean(Rubicon) usually rides shotty with someone,so i wouldn't be surprised if a spot opens up.

 

Someone educate me on these trd straps...do i have them? Lol. I think skids are coming up on the list for me so i want to start looking around

 

why do they cap it at 15? would 17 really kill them?

EDIT: just looked... there is a chick with jerp queerer than a three peckered billy goat in line in front of me

 

If there's a lot of trucks it can become a real clusterfuck and make for a very long day.
She actually is #15 now,someone bailed.

 

some other guys doing a hennpecker run sunday too, might have to join that, if worst comes to worst.

 

adult gas skids?

 

Half the time i wing it when its not a ford or related company product. Same basic shit just designed better

 

Yeah just 265s. bigger tires = more weight and the Taco doesn't get great mpg as is. plus i've done the rubbing thing on previous builds and want no part of it. i also already have chains for 265s (req'd in the mtns of CA)... I figure if I really get into it, i can buy some real offroad wheels and some different sized tires.

 

yeah, rear 5100s. should be able to run them all at 0 settings and be nearly level. would you have done different?

 

well you should definitely run 265/75's or 70's, those 265/65's are going to look hideous.

 

hideous?

 

what are you running?

 

I'll be swapping back to my 265's tomorrow! Got a long ride Saturday. MPG not so LOL this time haha

 

Oh yeah forgot to mention--I've gone stabilizer-less! Really don't notice much body roll, only thing different I pick up is some front tire squealing on hard corners.Now I gotta find a loading dock to snap some flexy pics on

 

I'm running 255/80/17. No rubbing. Then I got a bumper and I'm rubbing on my body mount
