Got new taillights super cheap on eBay! Work and look great!

 

Waves looked good today from the bus . Did anyone get out?

 

On a positive note, I fired up the WR426 for this weekend...I'm sure my neighbors enjoyed my wheelies although I might have a flat front tire.

 

It was pretty good today, I got out for the dawn patrol.

 

Does anyone know the actual rules for target shooting in the low spot dress? I'm not talking about the glass factory or Winchester. I've been trying to call the ranger station but nobody ever picks up the phone anymore. Specifically I want to hike from the end of the roads leading to the Hot Springs and potentially go target shooting.

I've read that. What I get from it is to call the ranger station with any questions. I've been trying to do that...

 

My interpretation is that you are good to shoot anywhere in the NF as long as its not in a restricted place. I am not a lawyer tho.

 

Just about sums it up.

 

Hey guys i have been researching coilovers and thinking about getting some fox 2.5 rr. But I have a few questions what is a center hub? In reference with center hub to fender when measuring, is it the hub cap? Also there's two collars on the shock what does each collar do? Sorry for the noob questions lol. Oh and from what I read so far their is a taco lean and you have to adjust the coilovers to get 3 inch lift?

 

This would be better posted in the tech section.

The center hub is the center of the wheel (so yes, the very middle of the hubcap).

Is this the shock you're looking for? Likely, the collars are for adjusting height and since I don't have experience dialing these shocks in - perhaps the compression and rebound are the settings.

Taco lean - the driver side is heavier (battery, our fat asses, gas tank). You adjust it all to sit level, yes, but you don't need a heavier spring or anything compared to the passenger side.

Thanks it's these coilovers...I'm not sure what the top collar does or the bottom

 

Looks like height adjustment. Here are the installation instructions. See step 19:
Set the vehicle back on the ground and drive it back and forth several feet
to allow the suspension to settle. now measure the new ride height and make
adjustments if necessary. To adjust the ride height, first lift the vehicle (refer
to the InSTaLLaTIOn guIdeLIneS for instructions on how to properly lift the
vehicle). after properly lifted, loosen the top lock ring, and adjust the main
spring retainer. Once your height is set, retighten the top lock ring against the
main spring retainer.

Thanks I figured the top is a locking collar and the adjuster is the bottom

 

Anyone know a welder that does good work and is not too expensive in the Ventura area? I need some jerry can baskets welded to my tire carrier.

 

I'd burn them in for you for beer if you we're here in sb

 

You had me curious so I had to look it up. Here is for the short bed Tacoma with the 2 additional options for the extra cover and the mesh for the back window. For just a plain jane one it's $650.

 

I was all confused when i saw that site... then realized i was looking at the Besttop that runs like 850 with the bells and whistles. that would explain it haha

 

oooooohhhh! yeah they are a bit more expensive. I personally like the Softopper looks a bit more than the Bestop though. So I guess that works in my favor if I were to ever get one.

The bitch is, I've always see used ones for sale but only for the 6' beds

 

anyone have any 9mm glock magazines they'd be willing to part with? looking for one to match my g22 9mm conversion
