I'm planning on getting pelfreybilt front steel bumper and IFS skid in the group buy...what spring rate you guys think I should get for coilovers? Ordered ext travel kings with 650# a couple weeks ago...wondering if I should go 700# now?

 

Yes. I sagged with 650s, and kept having to add preload. Rode great with 700# coils.
Especially because you are gonna want more armor and a winch eventually

 

You can try and check out Brian's fishing supply on King St. He's very knowledgeable with shore fishing. He's pricing is a bit high but you can gauge later on what type of products available here in the islands. You could probably go right down the street from there and get better deals through Mccully bike and sporting goods.

 

When's the next G2G boys? I haven't been to one here, after talking to a TW member I meet at Hardware Hawaii, Anthony I'm pretty sure, realized how much I missed good conversation and bullshitting about the trucks..

 

Set one up. I'm sure people will show.

 

If you guys ever have any issues with your wheels out of balance (spin balance)...I highly recommend the road force balance. Cost a little more, but the results are awesome. I had a little wheel vibe at certain speeds and had the procedure done. No more shaking... And this was done 2 days after a Goodyear spin balance. I was told dynabeads are a good option, but I'll try that route down the road..

 

It's actually pretty necessary with the size of tires we run. Or else dyne beads I guess. But our tires are bigger than the rims on top of there being limited real estate on your rims to place the weights.

 

I thought it was called "road force balance"

 

Maybe I should get around to installing my dynabeads... lol

 

You're correct Iven!...

I guess I used a pidgin version of what I thought the term was. Makes it easier than using the proper description when you're too lazy to Google it or just don't care...

 

Guys running the wheeler super bumps with 3inch lift, are y'all adding the spacer they sell for it aswell?

 

nope, and I have Dakars in the rear

 

The spacers for the bumpstops are to fine tune where it stops your uptravel at, to keep your shocks from bottoming out. Like if you are running longer shocks.

 

Rick, where did you get this done at?

 

I might need a super small one when I get the RCDʻs installed. yes. they are still in the garage

 

American tire does road force... Not at the Campbell location I usually send guys to... The Mapunapuna location does it and does it well! I have had an experience there, my wheel came off the machine with 0 weights! I made the guy spin it 4 times and same results every time! Best machine I have ever seen used for this.

 

Traffic is 100% fucked here near Hickam.

 

So sad.

 

Thank Obumer lol
