kakwvu's blazing blue waffle and beer thread!

Over the 4th of July weekend in 2016, I decided to drive up to Bend, OR and trade my 2015 WRX in for what I thought would be cheaper and more logical, a 2016 TRD Off Road w/6MT. I had the truck for about three weeks until I got word I was moving back to Oahu, which I wasn't terribly upset about (other than shipping costs for parts ).

Since then, I've had a little self control..

Sub'd...

 

Sub'd

 

I think is is my favorite truck on the forum.

 

Got a side pic on leveled ground, I'm thinking of getting that allpro standard leaf pack. I just want to see the stance

 

Here's a pic of when I went in my for reconstructed safety inspection. I still need to do a pull off of my 5D.

 

Man thats exactly what I want, what do you mean 5D?

 

Another question, are your coils cranked up all the way in the front?

 

Canon 5D, sorry haha

Driver side is first, passenger second.

 

Thanks for helping me out, with the pics. Thats a lot of thread showing, makes me a little bit concerned for down travel.
Ill be running kings which is almost the same as ADS, but I want to keep a good ratio between up travel and down travel, those leafs might just be right on par with my needs.

 

I'll take measurements of threads showing when I get home, but I've seen way worse. I could have gotten 700# springs, but that would have been overkill unless I had major weight added up front.

@HeadStrong Off-Road , opinions?

 

Either way your truck is beautiful, and it's a manual trans. I couldn't live with buying an auto, thank god I didn't.

 

I still think you should've just bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on the bumpers during this past group buy!

 

Nice truck!!!

 

Things changed and now I could have. I'll get in next time. I'm still not sure if I want it or the CBI T3 bumper. It's sweet too.

 

You still going to get your skid plates? I still have to copy your mid skid if it bolts up to mine

 

I'm not on this order. I don't have any scuffs on the stock gas tank cover and I've buried my ass end at Kaena.

 

If you lived on Oahu you would want an Automatic. Traffic is stop and go 99.999% of the time and your clutch and foot would go through hell here.. In Nevada...no problem. But that's just me...
