    Im so glad I bought my shitter. Everyone was using it, it's well seasoned after that trip! Changes your life camping and shitting in style.


    We may or may not have found a can of corn on the trail. We also may or may not have cooked said corn for a dinner side.


    Andddd..... we may or may not have found out our bodies average turn around time for digesting corn is approx 9 hours LMAO

    Being on the older side of the group, my time was quickest at less then 8hrs. Thats what years of grease will do to the system. :D





    Oh and that shitter was life changing. Every morning I was 5lbs lighter. :rofl:

    Needless to say my new shocks got a proper intro to use:) truck rides great and handles even better. wash board still blows tho i think due to the smaller tires... lost a bolt from my light bar and damn near lost the high lift... nothing zipties couldnt fix!

    Looking good Jace. Glad the new setup is working well.


    I think mine eats up washboard really well, so guessing you could improve that with valving. Do you know if you have flutter stacks in your shocks?

    I don't think I do? I could go read my build sheets more closely... what does those do?

    Bob had a great idea of not airing down as much which seemed to help slightly... these wash boards we hit were large and it felt like the the wheel was literally hitting the humps on the trail. Aired back up to 20 and it seemed to get better. That and I went faster;)

    Take a look at your build sticker from King, there would be an F in the first series of numbers. No idea what they put in the OEM coilovers either.

    I'm not a shock tuning expert by any means, but a flutter stack allows there to be a soft section of travel, before getting into the rest of the valve stack. So good for high shaft speed, but low force, like washboard.

    Yeah going up from 15lbs to 20lbs really helped a lot for me.

    Also going from 25mph to 45mph on the washboarded helped too. ;)

    looks good.

    I agree. Not just start tweaking valving.

    Also what tire size you running again?
