Colorado B.S. Thread

Im doing good. I hear you on the being busy, between going to CST ( Colorado school of trades) and dealing with this cancer crap I don't get on here much either, I have missed sooooo much. Have you gotten to do anything to your truck since we went wheeling?

 

If you plan on drinking a beer while watching that video.... don't. I seriously just kept it tipped up, and now its gone.

 

I know its early but this has been bugging me, what does IFS mean?

 

Independent Front Suspension
As opposed to SAS Solid Axle Suspension/Swap

 

Thanks. I have been reading alot about IFS skid plates and just couldn't figure it out.

 

Yeah I gotta try and figure out the problem. It can be a few things.

 

IFS skid plate is a way people associate the skid plate that goes between your lower control arms...protects the oil pan and lower engine. goes from the bottom of the front bumper, under the engine, to the back of the engine where it meets the transmission.

then you'll have an option to run a transmission skid followed by the transfer case skid

for example, ATO's version (Relentless is similar in design)

IFS skid (front)


which can connect to the transmission skid (mid)


followed by the transfer case skid which requires an additional cross bar that is included with any tcase skid you would purchase


to show another version of it, this is from Bud Built showing the complete set laid out.


then you have All-Pro's version
IFS Skid


Tranny Skid and Tcase Skid (one with the All-Pro sticker on it)

 

Thank you for that. I ordered a front skid for my truck and I know its the right one. Just didnt know the IFS thing. 4xinovasions 1/4 in skid on the way.

 

cool...4x innovations bought out ATO, so you're getting ATO 1/4 which is a bad ass skid..good choice

 

I didnt know that. Thanks.

 

No re-hashing this conversation but there was some funny shit there. Ost - talking about rewinding a 8-track. LOL. How many on had to Google that? My Dad still has a player and all of his 8 tracks from his Chevy truck.

Honestly it was interesting to get LEO input on how the public reacts to flashing lights and some of the situations that negate no lights or sounds. Honestly after hearing all these opinions it would be easy for me to just fuck up, swerve right, and crash off the road trying to figure the right thing to do when I see a LEO in the rear view mirror.

"Honestly officer, I am not drinking and my phone is off. I just didn't know where to go when I saw you coming."

 

I'm not a LEO but if you saw how many people paid zero attention to bright ass lights in their rear view mirror and loud blaring horns right behind them you would be amazed. I know I'm continually amazed by this phenomenon. So to the previous topic point this is the same type of person they're supposed to 'warn' to keep safe? Also comes back to my previous point that people who don't pay attention while driving are dangerous regardless of what their excuse for a distraction is. Hell, make everything in a car illegal and these same idiots will day dream themselves into a coma.

BTW, 8-track FTW!

 

I have observed this quite a bit as well. Scary to say the least. Personally I avoid as many distractions as possible while driving simply to insure my own alertness on the road.

 

You guys are right, there are way too many people not paying attention for what ever when they drive.

 

Anyone know of a good shop I can get my new 2013 frame sprayed for rust prevention in Northern Colorado (Ft.Collins, Loveland, Greeley)?

Looking for something that will last and not cost me more than $300. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

 

Ride a motorcycle on a public roadway for any length of time and this will become painfully apparent to you.

 

I own a 2006 Harley, I know all too well.

 

Why is it frowned upon to run a 3.5" LT again? It doesnt fit on trails?

 

Bigger fenders, wider track, with wider scrub radius.
