Houston BS Thread

None of that stuff is needed. Just run them and turn and flexes normal, the horrible noises to follow is simply the "self clearancing" at work...

 

Wow, what a terrible phone correction. That was supposed to be 'merica at the end lol

 

I went to Sears to buy a new 27F DieHard Gold battery for the Taco, and the new battery is about 1/4" taller than the original. As a result, the metal bracket won't fit because one side is non-adjustable. WTF.

 

Anyone want to go to Texas Offroad Ranch tomorrow or sunday?

looks to have mild to wild, with rocks, sand, high speed, low speed, etc.

I'm just outside the northeast corner of the beltway, and it's a little less than an hour and a half from me. 65-70 miles.

$20 a vehicle.

they have a website, but there really isn't much on it. their facebook page as a lot of pictures though

 

that's in my town I was maybe going to check it out when I get back from work

 

you ever been there/when do you get back?

 

I'd definitely be interested. I just have a 2wd but dammit I have heart lol

 

lol, i'm sure there's stuff to play around on with 2wd. some of the pictures in that link look like trail riding with some nice dips and a creek crossing.

if you'd like to come along, you're more than welcome to ride shotgun for some harder stuff. I also have plenty of recovery gear, so we can make sure nothing bad happens to you. how close to/far from stock are you?

 

toss those tires on from that picture and come tomorow

 

Haven't been yet. They opened 6-8 months ago but been busy with the little one we just had. I get back July 3rd and and gonna be with family for the holiday weekend. Was planning on trying to make it there the Friday or Saturday of the 12th or 13th

 

10-4

i'll probably try it out this weekend. gonna give them a call in the morning just to confirm everything is a go for wheeling. these start-up parks can be flakey sometimes, so it never hurts to double check. i'll let you know how it is.

Edit: congrats on the new addition

 

Sounds good to me man and thanks

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. As far as my truck is concerned, I am stock as stock can be. Haven't had any time to spend on the Taco

 

At least you have a rear locker. You'll be surprised what you'll be able to do with just that and airing down

 

bingo! That locker can do amazing things.

I am probably going tomorrow, but if you would like to joint and aren't free until sunday, I have no problem moving if back a day. I'm PMing you my phone number right now. give me a call in the morning if you'r either like to come, or would rather do it sunday. If i don't hear from you by about 10:00, i'll just head out.

 

10-4 guys. I've been wanting to take the Taco OR for some time now; I went off-roading in Galveston probably eight months ago and that was breaking the ole off road V-card. Didn't know about the airing-down aspect until a few months ago.

 

You should come up then either tomorrow or on the 12-13th and check it out. Who knows you might even want a 4x4 after its all said and done

 

Ill do what I can about going this weekend and or 12-13th. A lot depends on work and progress made moving into my new place.

As far as wanting a 4x4.... I already do

 

If I'm in town the 12-13 I'm game.

 

You going to be lifted by then??
