Colorado B.S. Thread

Still looking. At my buddies for now. Got a few places to check out this week.

 

Did you break the down travel limiter again?

 

Probably not, but I figured it was only time since how the setup is. Slee told me to check with ARB since that sounded strange, and ARB didn't think it sounded correct either. So longer shocks on the way and they want to see the old ones since they hadn't heard of it before.

 

I can finally come home to th eight thread. Left CO when I was 12. I've spent the past 38 years trying to get back. Just closed on a house in Durango. Hopefully it's the last house I buy.

 

Has anyone sealed up the tailgate so it's a little less dirty when traveling through the desert areas? It would be nice to get a little less dirt over everything.

 

Crom tried

 

I'll have to check his thread, and look at the tailgate to see what parts must be sealed. Not looking for 100%, but 85% would be nice.

 

I did find a few threads of people with the same issue with the OME shocks, and having a totally different (better) ride quality offroad after swapping over to the 5100's for a budget upgrade (instead of doing full coilovers).

And tomorrow morning we are off to Moab for Rock Therapy!

 

Nice!!!!
have a blast!!!!

 

That is a REALLY NICE ride, Gramps!

 

Man that is one rugged Tacoma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Anyone know of any good fishing spots around Hall Valley Campground?

 

Where is the gramps decal?

 

Maybe a custom decal image of a walker from the moab t shot shop. Japan also has those elderly driver decals.....

 

This is what I plan on doing for my first gen tailgate.

The concept, I'm sure, still applies to your truck. May just need different materials? Or maybe not.

I read some of his thread and unreal the number of "holes" you must seal to try to keep dust out of topper.

 

Did you ever get the full droop clunk like described in those threads? FYI if you droop to far the stock upper arm can and will run into the coil spring.

Let me know if you need to use the coil spring compressor again.

 

Oh yeah, the clunk was there, I just figured it was part of the deal since everyone was all about OME when I was looking for lift options. It wasnt as bad as his happening every time, but it would do it when it quickly dropped the suspension. I grew used to hearing it and not sure when it stopped, but it did stop after it busted off the washers from the shock haha.

Thanks, havent heard back from ARB but I dont plan on swapping out for the new stuff that they sent since it seems like I'll still have limited travel, just with a harsher ride. If no other option, I'll just suck it up for a while and maybe eventually go with the 5100s.
