geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" #EAF Overland & Adventure build

Well if you wanna hit up the badlands let me know, you could always just pull your shocks when we get there

 

lol and pull a @SMKYTXN

 

What you going with?

 

Bilstein 5125s like meh

 

Can't go wrong with them

 

Don't pull a me!

 

haha if he was on chevy it may be different

 

I was kinda over it last weekend (not you in particular) just the fact that it was such a nice weekend and everyone kind of bailed..really sucked. Least this shackle flip got done. Not completely done, but the bitch of it got done. Going down to see Mark 3/12 for him to burn in the shock relocation and bump extensions.

You did that too..don't be embarrassed now..

@Acerwin..get the 35's out of your ears and pay attention..

$110 Bilstein 5125 Series Shock Absorber - 33-185569

I did but I didn't break anything haha. I did two separate wheeling trips and drove over 1000 miles without shocks. The Chevys held up great

 

Don't go hating on the 35's now

 

You're as bad as @scottalot when I installed my CAI..

Hi scooter

 

Let me know if you don't want those ditch brackets..

Didn't Cali raised send you any?

 

So you hate them and wanna give them to someone you love..aka me

 

Couple small updates:

Got the new hose for the CO2 tank in the mail and I transferred the fittings over and hooked it up to the tank. My CO2 tank setup is finally done! Now I just have to get it filled!



HUGE thanks to Marie and @HeadStrong Off-Road for helping me place and order for my new, correct shocks and bump stop extensions! I received the shipping notification last night and everything should be here Monday! Put some feelers out for my Fox shocks also and I hope to have them sold in the next 3 weeks

Lastly, a sadness has fell over me and I'm not sure how I feel about it..it is with great regret and despair that I had to make this decision. It wasn't an easy one and I'm not sure why I felt the need to do it, but, being an Eagle Scout has taught me to always be prepared and go into things head on even though I might feel scared or nervous..but last night, I did something blasphemous to my own beliefs and practices and I don't know how to cope with it..






























































Last night, I bought wheels spacers

Against my better judgement of them and pros and cons I have read, seen and promoted on the site that wheel spacers have more cons than pros, I did it.



I reached out to @LoadedTaco to see if he still had his .75" BORA wheel spacers laying around and I scooped them up. Not sure how I feel about running them on all 4 corners, but my good buddy @Rattletrap66 recommended I get some so I don't rub my shocks at full flex. That is the ONLY reason I will be installing them.

Sad day for geekhouse23

 

#poser j/k, gotta do what you gotta do the get that flex haha. At least you didn't go a full 2".

 

If ya don't mind me askin' where did you get the hose/fittings for the C02 tank? I have access to (full) C02 tanks free of cost as well as "B" tanks of nitrogen. Looking for hose hook ups for either.


EDIT;

Just went to Wheelers page and found everything I need. Not sure if I'll do C02 or nitrogen. Have easy access to both.

 

We will tell you if you send us all 20# co2 tanks

 

Nice that that CO2 setup is all done! Got my mount coming in from Wheelers today too. Also Wheel spacers aren't anything bad, just loctite them properly and you are golden. I beat the shit out of my truck and the spacers don't cause any issues. I do plan on ditching them when I get wheels with proper BS but for now they keep me from rubbing the frame so I can't complain.

 

How many stamps would it take to mail you one?
