I will try thanks

 

That's how I do it minus bleeding the brakes. Just use 2 flat head screwdrivers and pry them apart. Just be sure not to scratch your rotors.

 

okay yea for sure I'll try not to!

 

You'll need a c clamp too.

 

Brian whats that spot you posted for mudding? I might be down to go tomorrow or thurs if your down.

 

just a heads up, you might get the cops called on you for going out there. ive had it happen a few times when it was night time. but you can take mcmillin to the very end. last time i went they tried to block it off but if you looked to the right you could still go threw. if anything, francis is the easiest way to get there. but if you want to take the long way, go into the train station and turn right go the end of the parking lot and itll be all dirt. go up the curb and follow the tracks all the way down to the hills. Pretty fun to do a little bit of prerunning i MIGHT go tomorrow after school. i get off probation next monday so im kinda nervous if i get caught im screwed.. haha.

 

why risk it? your wanting to go the fire route? You will get screwed a thousand times over trying to get a job. Just saying. "Dont be stupid, its not smart"

 

i know.. i was talking to my friend and we decided we might head out to big falls or high mountain road if 2wd will make it haha. no train tracks for me

 

It's not that bad. A trespassing ticket, court, a misdemeanor, and towed vehicle, maybe if you're lucky it might get dropped to an infraction.




Jk don't do it. I got caught on a train track once. Lucky for us he was looking for taggers on that track and another officer found them. Was told if he sees us there again we would all get a misdemeanor trespassing and would be walking home.

 

How far is big mountain and high mountain road? Im free tomorrow from like 12 till 6

 

im actually going out to big falls after school. so like 40 minutes. give me a call 805 540 1310


edit: im not doing high mountain. we only have 2wd (friend and i) so we're just going to cruise around out at big falls for a while. i have less than a quarter tank so we will be out there till my gas light turns on. maybe ill see you out there

 

Im down. Let me know where to meet you and when. 209 625 6875

 

Hey all...need some suggestions on upgrading within these months.

I'm going to need some tires in couple months prolly. Definitely before Pismo!

After some research I want to get the BFG A/T KOs . I want to go up to 285/70/17 (Thinking keeping 17" alloys, although I'd love some anthrasite 16" FJ wheels...too much $$$ tho!)

Problem from going up is clearance, rubbing and needing to regear too perhaps?

I have the 1.75" lift from the billies upfront and TSB in rear, but I believe I would want to get atleast a full 3" lift (Eibachs with 0.85 setting, AAL in rear). But this will also cause me to need to get UCAs too. And I would like to keep my mpg, so regear too? Hm...

So if stick to 265:
-Nothing needed.

Or go to 285:
-More lift (eibachs, AAL...or better?)
-Trimming
-UCAs
-Wheel Spacers
-Regear (I want to keep mpg cause I drive a lot! @18,000 in 7 months)

The 285 route is looking very pricey...Any thoughts/suggestions?

 

no need to go bigger just different rims

 

I run 285's and the need for re-gear is not total needed(in my case though I'm going to need it), but would be nice. That 4.0 is strong too. You will probably need to do body chop mod....Adam aka dirty dangler could probably do it for ya and save ya a buck. I had 265's and when I stepped up to 285's I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but I love em! 265's with a more aggressive tread then your current tires would be good too. 285's just look so good

 

or step your game up and go 33s! hahaha jk

 

just got back from big falls with ben.. god it was so fun!!! he has pretty much all the pictures. Here are just a few\
