NJ B.S. Thread

I had a gut feeling I shouldn't of pulled the trigger on it because I hate fleebay. No worries though. Ill either return it for what I want or ask for money off.

baby steps

got tired of waiting for Drew to make my flip kit so I took a different approach. would much rather have a johny joint shackle flip like he was going to make me, but a standard that eats bushings is better than none I guess

 

Pulled one in today and it had gear oil all over the RR rim.. hub nuts were loose not the first new truck to roll in like that either. I spend 8 hours looking over each truck because of shit like this.

The Freightshakers are JUNK

We adjusted the pressure on one of TC&M's new diggers last year because it couldn't lift a 65ft pole.. garbage.
Sophers old rig was the best, every safety was bypassed and the pressure was cranked up.. the guys miss that truck every day.

I'll post a pic of the two new 4x4 diggers they are getting, 85ft boom the trucks are massive.

 

I wish....... Doubtful Ill get that much droop anytime soon.

 

Mucho droopo

 

It took me sometime and alot of research and learning how to make a longer main leaf, with the help of a leaf spring shop of course. It can be done, plus it does well at speed in the desert too, all while carrying 350-400LBS

 

I got no patience for that....

My engines been fubar for over a year and Ive had a new one in my shed for 9 months. My leaf packs been flat for longer than that

Me = lazy

I would of loved to do what you did, but being lazy and having zero good suspension or 4x4 shops anywhere near me I ordered some Dakars and followed the herd. Almost pulled the trigger on some alcans but decided not to do it due to weight issues.

This spring Ill be getting work done though. Amassing parts now. Truck will be brand new come summer for sure.

 

Understandable, being an Engineer for many years I dont like being told "no" you cant do that.

 

Isn't it usually you guts saying that though? Lol

 

Lol that's what I was thinking. They're usually the ones that put a damper on our great ideas!

 

I'm looking forward to that my friend!

I've got the Quadratec XJ shackles (copycat of the squirrel's setup) and will be going the Dakar route as well.
I'm happy w/ the current performance but it is definitely time to upgrade over the stock leaf pack.

 

DONE WITH FINALS!!!

 

nah, that was in my 20's, now its just F it and hit the gas...GEEEEZER COMIN THRU!

 

I see some Dakars in my future too.

 

Dat feeling

 

There is a leaf spring company in Somerville. I wonder if they can do something for us.

 

yeah now i have to finish a few papers. It never ends. Till I graduate and get a job. Then i just play with excel all day

R&H Spring in Wall Township. Owner's son has a bro-dozed f350 but he made the leafs for it and it looks great.

I ended up going with the Dakar's because it would have been a few weeks before they would be able to make me a set of leafs. I haz no patience.

 

anybody else down for this weekend to go to stokes?

 

Didn't you pick up your Dakars local?
