Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I got to argue with an officer 2 days ago because he pulled me over for having expired tags. I explained to him that I had payed my registration the week before and was waiting for the stickers, he ran my info and then wouldn't tell me what it said, I even showed him the email from the DMV stating my registration was paid. He tried to vengeance ticket the truck (exposed lights on front -covers in the backseat. Tires to far out-flared fenders, lets get a tape measure, officer). I am always extremely respectful and calm when dealing with LEOs, since I know being a douche just equals more tickets, I think dude was having a bad day. I ended up requesting a supervisor because he kept pressing the registration thing and finally he said I was free to go and that wasn't necessary. Wowza.

 

My copilot this morning while I run some errands.

 

The good deed part was really worthwhile, fabulous that this outdoor opportunity (Camp Nejedly) is offered to special-needs people in a setting like that.
Hilarious to see the bed of @tyfoon11 truck on the return trip running the trail loaded up like the Beverly Hillbillies. Our route home via Poker Flat is where we demonstrated again why we can't have nice things and no one should follow me anywhere.

 

Bummed I wasn't able to make that @EDDO my girl was not thrilled at the idea of waking up at 4am.

Is that an annual event? I'd love to plan it out for next year!

 

Yeah, rolled out of San Jose at 03:30 . It is an annual and they need help over three successive weekends each summer. I'll put something up for 2017 when I know.

 

Awesome! That's not too far off from where I usually go camping out by Independence Lake. Beautiful area out there.

 

24 gal action Packers are 24.99 with no sales tax at OSH this weekend if anyone is needing some it's a pretty good deal.

 

Yea, Sig scorpion carry. I usually have weekdays off, If y'all wanna go. Usually make a day trip out of it. I just hate going to the range.

 

Lol, in all the 2+ years of having my truck thats the most "truck" work it's ever done, a mountain of wheelchairs and camp gear in the bed. Shoulda got a pic

 

700 for sure. And they ride awesome

btw I'm going to OC Thursday . LMK if seller wants to meet in Anaheim

 

Foam Sunday's. That's a thing right? Finally got the pismo salt off

 

Jason doing work! The rear is all done...much thanks to @jqueener for helping a brotha out!!

 

Anyone need another set of weather stripping for the top of a double cab? I can bring my extra set down and sell cheap

 

everyone told me my 600s would be too soft for the 4runner with the V8 but so far its done well. Driven 600 miles on them already, id say they're settled. Weird to see the differences with the tacoma/4runner and the additional v8 weight.

 

They ride great. But IMO the only problem I see is when you launch your rig at pismo the 600's may be too soft on landing.

 

very possible. I try not to launch it just because its not LT but some "accidental" leaps do happen. Will be interesting to see what happens.

But i hope i never have to adjust these Kings again, what a serious pain in the ass.

 

Really? Mine adjusted pretty easy with 700's. I just jacked it up and used plenty of WD-40. But then again I was going down not up

 

yeah, bent three hardened 5/16 punches and had to use the spanner but 1/4 turn at a time and really had to put my body into it. Seriously never adjusted something that was this difficult.

Took 5 full turns upward for each side for it to be good height for my set up.

 

I loved the ride with the 600's, but the springs deflected and were rubbing the shock body. I thought the ride was too stiff at first with the 700's. I've gotten used to them and they feel great now. I have more weight than you though. Front & back, and side to side.

 

700's no preload rides like a Cadillac! Although that's probably gonna change next week when I mount my winch
