Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

Yeah, when we doing this?

 

good evening everyone

i;m out for next saturday but don't let that stop you. short notice but could do this saturday.

 

im out next Saturday too, how is the 15th for eveyone? Should be enough notice to make plans, bww Southpoint?

 

should be good i'll check with the boss. that may be the day we put chiefcruchy's lift on we'll see

 

That's a meet all in itself!

 

i met with him this afternoon. nice guy took him for a ride in mine and let him drive it so he was sure what he was ordering was what he wanted

 

I'm out for this Saturday, next Saturday, and the 15th. After that work gets weird (retail) but i should be able to to a Saturday gittogether.

How'd Chief like the ride Chris?

 

it'll all work out we'll find a good time and place it sounds like a place is already fairly chosen. chief seemed to really like it he said it was just what he was looking for so we'll see. he's a nice guy and i got the feeling he'd really like to be involved with doing the work and learn. i will say he had the tiniest kayak i've ever seen idk how you keep it afloat

 

The best way to learn is jumping in and getting dirty with folks that have done it before. That's cool that ya'll got to meet up and he could get a good feel for what he was considering lift wise. I'm hoping to move away from my block and spacer lift/level after the first of the year but we'll see how that goes. Tiny kayak huh??

 

he has a dcsb and honest to god it didn't look a whole lot longer than the bed idk how it floats he must be a good kayaker. i put the 3" rough country spacer lift on mine back in early march. it did ok and let me put the wheels and tires i wanted at the time on it. i have been educated since then about how the suspensions should work so revamped the whole deal. even new wheels and tires. i didn't go overboard with the real exspensive stuff but am totally pleased with the end result. none of it is cheap but a good trial will be seeing what chief ends up with how much it costs and how you like it at least would help you develope a plan

 

He doesn't let a fat man try to "float " in it that's how it stays afloat

 

idk kayaks but it was small

 

He likes the fast water. Small is maneuverable. Most are rated for about 250lbs.

 

I'm sure I'll get some good ideas once we have a meet and I see what everyone else is running. I knew when I put the low range off-road 3/1 on it wasn't going to be permanent by any stretch, I only went up one tire size and that was before I put the kit on. I'm putting spidertrax spacers on Saturday morning just to push the stock wheels out a bit, might have to get some new wheels and 285's later on as well. I tend to change things on my trucks quite a big but the boss is being tight on this one.

 

i'd have to tie another 1 to either side to get it to float or i'd be upside down it'd be like a kayak with training boats

 

whew i hear you there momma said no more for a while which means i plan in secret. wait until you see somebody like justin's truck or WC's tundra and you'll get ideas for sure and they may not be what you were thinking

 

Have you seen my Tundra? It's not really special. Just a few convenience items added

 

Yup, that's usually how it goes. See someone's setup and get new ideas or ones you hadn't considered.

 

Nothing special about mine either. Just got a few do dad's and thing a mahoes attached to it.

 

@Casper66 Thank you again for the test drive. I will talk to headstrong Mon.
The red one is mine the others are my brothers, red is 9 ft long.
I'll also throw it out there, I like the sound of a meet up at the winery off rte. 3 picnic style.
