5th Annual SoCal / TW SUPERSTITION Trip Jan 9th-11th 2015

holey jesus my lanta 50 trucks.....

i think im getting supercross tickets for my birthday though which will be this weekend......

 

thank you. I saved that info..
unfortunately i wont have time to do it by this trip :/

 

Id say make time or you can risk doing damage to your truck that will cost a lot in repairs if you got too aggressive in the desert.

Fender damage, Coilover damage, Lower control arm damage... Not worth the risk

 

tires are 33"
I called James, he said if he were to mess with my valving it might not to the job, and will likely stiffen my ride to the point its too uncomfortable to daily drive (which i do)

 

Thats the trade off.

Good street ride = crap off road ride.. Too squishy and bottom out.

Stiffer than stock Street ride that you get used to = Quality nice smooth off road ride.

You cant have both.

 

my truck is definitely stiffer than stock. ive offraoded plenty with my setup, it is wonderful offraod. The prioblem is, i recently switched over from 31" to 33" tire. Thats when this all started.
i probably just need fenders..
Anywhere other than the cab mount you guys suggest to be trimmed off?
I might go with the fnder trim mod

 

You still need a revalve to be proper.

The factory setting on the coilover you have is more tuned for a smooth street ride (AKA) mall crawler.

any aftermarket suspension is going to be different than stock as far as ride quality goes.

If you do re valve you may not notice much or any street ride difference but your off road ride will most likely depending on the re valve you do be better.

Revalving my entire truck was the best investment i did once I had the new Fox stuff installed,

 

Bumps will limit your up travel, but Superbumps are way to squishy in my opinion. And I doubt they would work for you. You could put a spacer between the stock bumps and the frame mount. It will limit your travel even more than you already have and make you bottom out sooner.

Trimming or glass will be your only options to actually fix the issue. Just a thought, if you trim your stock fenders you won't be able to sell them to Calmini so they will be a total loss. I would just grab glass.

 

But if he bombs hard enough the tires will trim it for him. haha

 

So, i decided im gna trim the fenders.
I also just noticed that pinch weld thing when i went out to check it out. That will definitely have to be flattened. I think thats where im rubbing.
Should i hammer down or grind off?
Ill be going into my buddies shop wednesday night after work to fck with shit.
Should i trim an inch or an inch and a half? I think 2" would be overkill for 33s. I dont ever plan on going 35s

 

or rip his expensive tires to shreds on the pinch weld.

 

anyone remember what that trimming fenders for 35s thread was called. Ive tried so many random titles and nothings coming up. lol

 

Anybody leaving Friday morning??
Me and Sick Nick are towing the trucks out, leaving Friday morning around 11am from O.C. Anybody wants to caravan let me know

 

this is what i did.

and this is what happened.
haha kind of sucked. but oh well.
self clearancing ftw!!

 

Got our Care package for you guys being delivered today! Good luck to those in the drawing!

 

I'll be heading out early Friday morning, I'll probably be there by 11 AM ha ha

 

Good info.

I will run both 2m and CB so I can help people who only have a CB.

Also I have a Nitrogen tank if anyone needs to fill shocks. Regulated to 200 psi.

 

I can bring my gauge as well if someone needs it. You can use it to check, fill and release if you have too.

 

I get off work at 9am. I'm gonna get gas then head out of east county. I'm bringing extra gas cans with even $$ amount incase someone needs some extra.

 

if all goes well ill see you early birds thursday night.
