Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Yeah. ROasted up the front end real good. I'll have the video up tomorrow.

 

Daaaang! So sorry to see Greg's rig like that. He's a great friend, spotter, and true off road kinda guy. Hope his rig gets a quick recovery.

 

Couldn't have said it better. It was horrible hearing it go bad, but, that's the hobby right? He'll be back up soon. I just hope they got it off the hill tonight.

 

Pretty clean, well done! I still need to do mine lol any spare hose left?

Mod day... Twas nice of you Greg how long did it take to swap leaf?

 

Thanks Sandz! I'll have to see how much hose is left after Mike gets his done too. We have a decent amount. I'll keep ya posted. On Amazon it's about 20$ for 25 ft 3/8 in fuel line

 

X2 in regards to Greg!Was so cool to meet him in Flagstaff AZ.when @1truckdriver was in town for there Fed Ex work duties!

 

Those are steel toes, brother.

 

It's about a 3-4 hr job depending on how many beer breaks you take. Mike did have brand new hardware recently installed (stock leaf recall) so thankfully there were no rusted bolts and nuts to battle. Lining the bushings and mounting locations up can be a pain but proper placement of jack stands is the trick to allow plenty of droop on the side being worked on. Also, knowing whick bolts to remove and install in particular order will help greatly in avoiding frustrations. And muscle. Gonna need muscle to just man handle at certain steps. Mike's rig looks so sick now with those beefed up leafs and foxy shockys.

 

Everyone's got their pretty mods and Im just chilling in the stock life

 

@madsand , @goblue82 and I had a bit more fun with the first side. Not really certain of the right order and how to get the suspension to work for us rather than against us. The second side was a breeze.
But really taking your time and outsmarting the leafs makes it much easier. Jack stands and lift jacks in the right spots makes all the difference.
I had also had the leaf spring recall done just two weeks prior so all the hardware was fresh and easy.

 

What is up with the leaf spring recall? Any certain year?

 

Wow those guys got into some serious shit at Rowler Flats yesterday!

I know it's a 2nd gen recall, thats all I got

 

I think it's for 2005-2011 but I could be wrong.
Basically the leaf springs are prone to breaking and could puncture the fuel tank.
The new leaf pack sits an inch lower than the stock 4 leaf pack I had from back in 2007. They ride smoothly, just sit pretty low.

 

The "wedge" eats two barneys and a jet ski.

Nothing in regards to our 12's!I inquired about it just to make sure when i purchased my brand new 12 in June of that yr!05-11 are the yr's of the recall due to potential leafs being prone to break!

 

How did you go about the recall. Was it before your lift?

 

These people should never be allowed to get on a ski in the ocean again. Complete idiots. Put their life in danger as well as the lifeguards who had to go out and rescue them.

 

Idiots love this place on a regular yearly basis!Most of them never learn as well!Idiots they continue to be!
