NJ B.S. Thread

Meh, try wheeling Rausch in July when your truck is overheating and you have to run the heat at full blast so the engine doesn't cook.

 

Link?

No AC sucked but not as bad as no power steering , so glad to have both again

 

Oh right... 1st gen

 

*snicker*

 

I've been wanting to lift my truck but every time I price out the setup I want I'm like nahhh. Lift will come after maintenance is done, a bike is in the garage, and I have a solid T-case skid.

 

$50k? you buy your truck in Canada?

 

Almost time to go fishing for the rest of the day

 

All I gotta say is wheel bearings.

 

Haven't had to touch mine yet... And NJ is home to hub master general and hes good at what he does...

 

X3

 

Mine are brand new

I got over 80k of swamping mud bogs out of mine.


and regarding a lift.... they are over rated. Clearance is key. I have been fighting to keep my truck as low as possible so I have max down travel while increasing clearance by getting larger tires. I am always the smallest truck at any meet because I only have my CO's showing 1/4" of pre load and my rear leafs are flat.

Next week will be the trucks first real lift and I'm worried about losing my good ride at speed. I do not want to sacrifice ride quality for lift, but my leafs were shot so I had to do something.

 

cough cough

 

I know he bought his used but still.. Mine was $32k and after financing I probably paid $35k or more. Then the cost of bumpers, skids, sliders, tires, lift, whatever other bullshit.. I'm over $50k without including a ton of little stuff or things I've gotten rid of or replaced.

90k miles on my stock ones and they're still good. Only changing them since I have everything else apart anyway.

 

Don't know how I missed this.

This winter I had something like 6k worth of parts laying around waiting to get installed and I still have 4k worth of shit to go I'd bet. Yesterday just ordered another 1,200 worth of shit.

I probably got 60k + into it at this point. I'd count, but it would just piss me off that it could of cost me the same as a vacation cabin on some good land.

Bought it brand new (leftover). Put 94K on her quick as shit and she's been sitting the last 1-1/2 years. Put over 20k a year on her in the beginning going from VT to NC.

 

Pack a few pounds of mud into your radiator and see how she runs.
At least the multiple instances of overheating caused no long term effect, whereas some 2nd gens just up and quit for no good reason VVVVVV

 

I want like 1.5 inches of lift from suspension and I want to do a 1 inch BL down the road to do a flat belly skid... Pretty sure 1 inch tucks almost everything up about the bottom of the frame except the rear drive shaft

 

I agree but my suspension is original and extremely worn. If it wasn't for the fact that I got Jeff's old leaf pack and brad's old shocks my quality would have been super shitty. Even with the newer stuff I am way overdue for an entire suspension rebuild.

189k on my stock ones. Jus saying.

 

I am not the creator but dam thats funny

 

*not snickering*

Low blow you sonofabotch

At least my engine was cheap (must keep telling myself that)

when I get the new engine the oil will be sent to Blackstone after every single change.

You dream more than Corey ever did. Talk is cheap and hearing people's plans get old when it's all BS. Reminds me of our resident NJ shit talker who is no longer hear. Every month he would dream up some new build that would never happen.

Less talk - more work.
