Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I think Jen and I are gonna get out of town and camp it tonight. May be setting up camp at the christina lk road spot we camped at epic boys. I'll reminisce and have a beer by the campfire for ya'll. Going all out for a sunset shot too Monte, even though I cant win, hope I can share a good one!

 

MOAB!

yea people ask me too when i actually look at school..which is rare..

yea it was still one of the "clean" builds so to speak then..was so pretty. The black and sliver just was awesome. And i still think for whatever weird juju that those moab shots are still some of your best photos..i am a tad bias ill admit..but still..they looks so sharp and even..idk..haha

YOU BASTARD! haha

i hate you

you better get a sweet sunset shot! Its looking bleak for me

yea Gage got me looking into it..i think my Dad and i can easily do the whole truck ourselves..just take time..

The KM2s do pretty good in snow i have found..its the hard pack slick shit they suck at.

 

HAHA!

Ben..starter of the new craze..2 mud terrains..2 all terrains..ultimate traction..

 

Hybrid tyre setup bishes!

 

then he will start having the Mud terrains on 17s and wide and the ATs on 16s and skinny Lol

 

I expect some credit when the break throu surfaces.

 

so ian blew his front end to bits haha

oh god why

 

Ian? Canadian Ian?

 

no, my 4runner wheeling friend with the desert buggy ian

 

How much snow did you get ben? I was hoping to wake up to a few inches to play in @ the orv place but no snow here lol (they were calling for 1-3")

The leds I installed yesterday have got me wanting to do something to the truck, for installing front shocks/springs should I order anything else to make it easier etc?

For the rear, I need new springs but will most likely run an AAL, I need a longer shock as well, correct?

 

Ahh gotcha.

Bummer

Nah if you have basic tools and a long pry bar your good for front coilovers unless your assembling them yourself.

For a 2" AAL you can get away with stock rear shocks. But 5100s would be a bit better. Or 9" 5125s. But not needed really.

 

I posted it first on the internets!!

 

So for the AAL I dont need to order ANYTHIGN else for the install (be able to re use my old U bolts just wire brush the threads etc?)

 

I'd recommend just new ubolts. Might have to cut off your current ones.

New center pin bolts too

And extended rear brake line

 

Center pins for sure.

I reused my dads ubolts for my new ones.

Never hurts to replace stuff though while it's apart.

 

Depends on the bet.

Lay your terms

 

Right now the ebaich/bilstein setup. Wheelers is about $40 cheaper than toytec even with the forum discount

In my shopping carts

Wheelers-$444
$173 5100's
$159 eibachs
$29 7.5" u bolts (is that the right size?)
$77.50 2" AAL
$4 centerin pins

Toytec-$474 w discount @ 5%
$199 5100's
$163 eibachs
$43 7.5" u bolts
$84 2" AAL
$6 centering pins

Edit, wheelers does not have sales tax so im assuming toytec is plus sales tax

 

no tax from wheelers is why. THey are in oregon haha

Ublots are always longer. So you'll have to cut them after installing them and the center pins too.

 

Customer service etc which would you order from? Wheelers sounds better no sales tax and $40 cheaper unless toytec will price match I'd probably order from wheelers

 

well your in WA so shipping will be cheaper from Wheelers too. Both ar good companies and great customer service. No real difference in one being better then the other.
