Colorado B.S. Thread

I have the mounts, but I need to modify the OEM roof rack to accomodate them I also was wanting to get the cab mount chop done, and maybe see about having you guys make a CB mic hanger for me that mounts next to the HVAC controls on the center console.

 

Sweet, ok Pm inbound

 

The trickery! You are deceiving us meow

 

Ok, i am in need of some help. Im having some funky sounds coming from my front end suspension items.

Sound really started accuring after the gulches trip with some of you, i noticed it while on first parts of the trail where my suspension was cycling pretty heavily from side to side.

Since then ive been hearing the sound while hitting a water runoff dip in my neighborhood while turning, this morning i put a GoPro just above the cab mount and drove straight over the water runoff dip and then turned around and repeated 3 times.

Sounds are at
:10 seconds
1:22 seconds
1:49 seconds
2:16 seconds

Anyone with insight its greatly appreciated!!

I also posted this video in my build thread to try and keep my thoughts together over in that thread.

So I don't live in a bad neighborhood here in Anchorage (though the city reminds of me Pueblo with natives vs hispanics of the norm) but this was across the street from me early this morning. I woke up around 0345 seeing flashing lights and when I peaked out of window I saw the entire street lined up with police.

I'd like to talk to check it out but not getting any response on C-list. hoping its not sold already...

 

Take it as a compliment, I'm allergic to the sun too. Welcome to the 2% of global population.

Video 2 looking at the UCA from the front fender wall looking towards the cab

(my initial thoughts were its coming from the LCA, but looking at this angle there seems to be a lot of body flex on that forward section of frame mounts) Lower left of video every time the noise happens. Frame mount bushings? who knows

Have you checked your spring for paint rub marks? It's hard to tell from the video, but I'm wondering if the upward flexing of the spring perch is allowing the coil to come in contact with the side.

 

On a completely different topic has anyone ever used the $56 LED rock lights shown at the bottom of the thread 1st from the right? what about the oil drain valve 4th from the right?

 

I've got a Fumoto and love it. They do stick down further, and there has been some discussion about how they might interfere with skids, or might be more likely to hit a rock.

FWIW, my dad put one on his 1990 Montero the 2nd oil change and it hasn't had an issue yet with 275K on the ODO.

Don't know anything about the rock lights.

 

I've got Fumoto's on all of my vehicles. They're G2G.

 

I want the Fumoto myself. Every time I change the oil I think about how I should prolly order it.

 

Just make sure it's well protected for wheeling. Mine is at least 1/2 inch above my skid and somehow a rock still snuck in there and hit it.
Skid probably deflected some.

 

i have the fumoto too, wouldnt have it any other way!! no tools needed for a oil change, yes and thanks!!

Although if i didnt have a stout IFS skid protecting it and went offroad even once i would give it a second thought, you sheer that thing off and you would be in a world of hurt QUICK.

 

Guys.. I caught a humvee on fire today.. whoops

 

I'm very sorry...








But that is hilarious! Not many people will be able to say that. I'm assuming everyone around was okay.?

 

I shot an M1 Garand today...and the clip flew out and hit the guy on the head on the lane next to me
