BIG ISLAND HI Thread

ahahahaha. I went up mana last weekend and may go up sunday but just pick apples.

I was down Kaloli last month and had my 2wd nissan. back road isnt that bad, little bit worse than beach rd from other side of hpp before they redid em couple years back. I always wanted to camp and throw out some poles down there but never had time. the coast line is beautiful, all solid ground too...knock on wood never sink em in the mud yet.

 

cant wait to get home...

 

yeah, youre gonna miss the coffee season. oh how much you miss those endless days of picking coffee!

 

shit man....I'd almost rather be home picking coffee than here in class. haha

 

low yield, high prices. my cousins have been banging away on their 10 acres but theyve been hit majorly by the bug. hows your guys crops going?


i kinda miss the coffee fields, but then again it was always "o0o0o, a jackson...i better go take this one up to the house too"

 

ours got hit pretty hard too. Everyone we know got slammed by them.

Have to spray everything constantly to keep em under control

 

blaaah, hopefully things get btter, but its hard. Its just like those coquis, I was walking down kona inn last night and there was coquis coming from uncle billys side!n just hard to control da kine invayshuv spe shees.

 

we've been hunting em down and shooting em with pellets
or throwing a bit of baking soda around where they are, works good

just a pain finding em

 

someone bringing the bug is really fucking with the entire industry though...fuckers

 

easy tigah...this island is getting ruined by invasive species. the moth that eat the koa, the wiliwili trees all of a sudden dead and very close to extinction, the mites that kill the bee so no pollination, the list goes on man.
some people dont mind the coquis, but whats the very worst is when there is just one and you have that stupid ringing in your ears you cant get rid of.

 

So I put on the 3" Toytec BOSS system! Here some pics!

 

Looks good you should pop those wheels out with some Spidertrax

 

LOL nah... I waiting for my rims to come there 8" wide so they will be flush

 

nice set up congrats...i also just scored my a pair of king 2.5 "16 shocks at an crazy low price $200 for both.got to love people that dont know what they realy have. only down side there to long with my current set up maby after i "A frame" the rear shocks can use them. pics up soon.

 

Holy crap, that's a steal

You could buy 7 pairs of those for the price I paid for my 2.5" coilovers

 

I'd be open to trading for some other shocks that I can use now if any one got some for trade. Hit me up.I'd love to use them but there too long. My shock mounts on the front are 25.5" the king are 23.5" fully compressed.

 

yotski, youll have to let us know how the ride is on/off road my brothers talking about getting that same set up.

ekahi, what length you need? if not in boarded/triangulated looks sikk btw.


oh, and went cruising the past several nights. south pt and mana rd were both dry and we only actioned a pig north sai. working hilo side today so may have to check out v side tonight(heard it was pouring last night though).

 

Kala. Right now mount to mount is 25". I'm running 14" procomp I'd love to swap for some shorter king, fox,or bilsteins.

2014 rav4 limited awd
2014 forester 2.5i premium 6spd (only trim level i can get a standard)
