Idaho BS thread in the PNW

how long ago? i know ben was there right before he shut down. didnt see anything else on his fb either

 

Ben told me that Chef Geoffs had closed down. A shame, really enjoyed meeting him. Great hospitality.

 

I thought you guys went there on your last get together??

 

that was right before it closed. geoff shud down june 4th, those guys were there memorial day wekend

 

I just texted Geoff

 

Yes that is stupid and I wouldn't do it.

If one vehicle is taller than the other, when that rope pulls tight it will slightly lift the shorter ones back tires up while pulling the taller ones tires down. haha
My only hopes of winning would be him using those 400 ft/lbs to get the tires spinning while my little 4.0 is keeping traction with lockers and once he starts spinning hopefully I just start dragging him away.

Mark got a good deal on the 4.56's for that 8" rear though and he didn't have to replace the front ones.

5.29's and 33's on an auto are more DD'able than 4.88's and 35's on a manual though...

I mentioned the broken CV's to prove that Silas is wheeling his rig hard with those 5.29's and hasn't broken them.

 

go on...because i haven't seen any activity on his FB since he closed. did he move again or something?

 

This VVVV

 

waiting to hear back, I'll post if I find out anything

 

He shut down because he tore his Achilles tendon and can't work for several months...

I hate it less that I did with 3.73's though. With 3.73's it was constantly downshifting. With 4.88's I just set the cruise and it run about 2700-2800 rpm the whole time. A little noisier but not bad, pretty sure the M/T's are noisier than the motor is haha. Just turn up the music.

 

Ahhh. Didn't seem that long ago..

I don't think 5.29s are more dd able then 4.88s and a manual. 4.88s and 35s with manual is basically just like 4.10s and 31s.. 5.29s kick the rpms up too high making hwy driving noisey and this not fun usually.

Turning up the music just makes you deaf..

You'll be deaf!!

And riiiigghhhttt. Forgot the tendon thing..

 

When I said more DD'able I literally meant that it will be at a lower RPM, about 100 RPM actually.

I already am deaf! Well not farmerjon deaf, but still deafer than most people... and I don't turn it up that loud. Besides I'll bet your 12.50 KM2's are louder than my 10" KM2's and my tires are the loudest part of my rig on the interstate.

 

Ya I bet my rig is louder haha my double cab seem creepy it's so quiet haha

And 100??? Pshhh..

 

100 isn't much of a difference but it is still a lower rpm. haha

 

Well I'd still think 5.29s are too low for 33s

 

Yeah, if somebody was truly going to stay with 33's then 4.88's would likely be a better choice there.

But if 5.29's are too low for 33's with an auto then 4.88's are too low for 35's with a manual. haha

 

Not from what I've read from the guys that have that combo. Say it's just like stock. Didn't even notice a difference.

 

God damn it..marlin crawler clutch back ordered..

 

You'll be running at almost 3000 rpm on the freeway. That's higher than stock and higher than an auto running 5.29's and 33's. haha You're logic doesn't make sense here... haha Just cuz 5.29's sound really low doesn't mean they are for a whole different tranny.

 

gay...
