San Diego BS Thread.

Damn I wish this was posted like 4 days ago, just replaced one of mine with vatozone junk...

 

I have a ford. Google is my friend. Fix or repair daily. And I only drive it on a month. Lol

 

Vatozone lifetime warranty?

 

whatcha talkin about?

 

My bad. It has always driven home. Lol

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Dont jinx me!

 

Im still rolling on lower ball joints. I better bring a few extra sets. Oh, and I AM going up sand dam this trip. Bet each and everyone of you a beer.

 

I failed going up sand dam , 4 attempts, 4 fails, in 4wd.....i suck....


But, it maybe because I was on bald tires at street pressure, no air down

 

2wd, I was 20 feet from the crest. So fucking close. Then the asshole 4x guts rutted it out lol. Lower gears and 4x mas travel = its go time !

 

Shit, last time we tried Blowsand you shot up it like a bat out of hell and I sunk like a turd in mud. I was locked f/r and aired down and I still got denied.

 

On blow sand ??....

You don't think its because of 600 lbs extra weight ??...





(thanks for sharing that, i don't feel as bad now)

 

You guys realize that's it had rained just before that right ? Normally it's soft as shit , only buggies/bikes make it up

 

Sand Dam or Blow sand ??

 

I'm referring to the TW meet from last year at sand dam/superstition

 

I'll do it on my Heep! and that thing weighs a fucking metric ton! Air down to maybe 10-11 psi and 4 lo and own it! Usually, lol.

Still trying to get ready for Ocotillo Wells, RV has charging system problems....its almost 3 am and still working on it, lol. I'm shot. Back at in the morning...I'm going if I have to pull the RV AND my Jeep with my god Damn Tacoma!

 

Those two hills are complete opposites in those scenarios. Sand dam was wet and rutted. I was pushing sand with the front diff and the rear fiberglass. It took 4500 in low range to sling my way to the top with mud tires.

When we went to blo sand it was dry and gabes rhino with all terrains just stayed on top and keep chuggin. My dumbass started up the hill in 2wd, I put it in 4 on the first flat spot but while doing that I noticed Tyler barely make it halfway. We are the same weight, same hp, same gears, both locked up but my tires are 1" wider. Didnt think that was enough to do anything but drive over to him so he could winch to me to get off a rock.

And Doug I figure Tyler and I are pushing 6k. Gabe 3ish. I was impressed how easy gabes truck pulled out Tyler later that night and Andrew has pulled me out. 2.7 is beefy.

 

Tyler and I are 215lbs difference stock.

 

Ive been pulled out twice by my buddys 4x 22RE, when I was stuck up to my bumpers haha

Blowsand is easy in 4x and rear locked for mine. Ive never tried Sand Dam, havent been there in forever either, its short and steep from what I remember

 

I made comp at glamis in 2wd. Olds 4wd like nothing. The day we were at blow sand. I had nothing. It was hot dry and loose. 2/3 of a good one night stand, shitty to drive up. Lol

 

So if you guys had a single cab yota, and were contemplating caging it (tying the bedcage to the front bumper, so cab and engine cage), which shop would you consider have do the work?
I'm not looking for a show quality pretty cage or even something tagged, just something reasonable that will hold up to some abuse and ensure a bit more safety, while stiffening things up. Experience with the older yota single cabs would be valuable as well. Any recommendations?
