AZ BS Thread 2.0

Um yeah, I'll pass on that this time. The rest of the trail looks like cake prerunner stuff, but this part was a bit snug. I'd like to test my rig out in this though. Gotta watch out for those afternoon storms which could flood this out and totally change it up or trap you in.




It looks makeable, but this weekend just doesn't work for me. I want to get those lights wired up, and being that I have to move across town next weekend, I have tons of packing to do still.

 

i spy a almost stock double cab that did it...

im not sure if it has a lift.








and no rain is SUPPOSED to come this weekend

 

That last spot ^^^ is definitely a slider spot

 

do you have sliders?? i thought you did

 

I do, and IFS skid. I'd like to have gas tank coverage, but that will come soon enough. Good thing about that canyon is there are lots of trees and boulders to winch from if needed

Have you done that trail before?

 

Sooo.. I got tired of the vsc and all that computer BS beeping and limiting my engine output so I disconnected it. whenever I wanted to intentionally peel out around a dirt corner or have fun when off roading (I'm used to not having any of that computer controlled stuff) it would cut my power to nothing and apply brake to the spinnig wheels. Great for actually preventing an accidental slide, but for everyday driving and fun.. it SUCKS.. one time I was pulling out of the driveway of my apts, and my right rear tire jumped the curb just a tad, and when the wheel spun for just that quick second, the truck thought i was skidding out of control and shut down the engine power. So i was stopped there in the lane for a second. Lol. Well... No more of that. I dont jeed the auto lsd anyways since I have 4WD.. anyways, thats what I did today. Haha

 

Who did your headlight projector kit? And what size bulb fits in it? Looks great BTW

 

Are you asking me? Thanks first off. They are cheapo eBay projectors. No issues yet. I love em. The cut off on them is hard to get used to and they need to be adjusted. They use H7 bulbs for the low beam I forget about the highs. I'm actually swapping the bulbs out for HIDs this weekend. 35watts it the headlights and fogs. 100watts in the hellas.

 

Brakes? Ive done my bugs drums i dunno how many times, and my gf's rangers front discs and pads once now, also helped on her moms expeditions front disc and pads as well. I can help do whatever as i have a good understanding, but i do hate bleeding so expect some bad words.

 

Bleeding is easy... Just get 6-8" clear tubing that fits tightly on the nipple and a small cup with a bit of fluid in it and submerge the end of the tube in the cup... Then open the bleeder valve and have your buddy/ G.F. press on the break peddle till the fluid is clean and free of bubbles. Oh yea.. and dont let the res. go dry...

 

Its just the repetitive nature i hate, cause if its worth doing it worth over doing, especially considering its breaks so i bleed every wheel, then do it once more to be doubly sure hahaha

bug keeps blowing the seal from the res to the master so its a 20 cent part that cripples me

 

Ohh come on... we were all teenagers at some point... Repetitive motion is a past time for us!

$0.20...Yea, That sucks!

 

Any 5 lug guys have their stock springs laying around? Buddy of mine needs a set, shoot me a pm, thanks

 

not in my truck, i have done it at least 20 times on my dirtbike. i have a nice battle wound from that trail.... 2 surgeries

 

i dunno what repetitive motion you were doing with your feet....

 

What's at the end of the trail? Is it the only way in/out?

 

Shhhhh!
Just because i have a fetish does not make me different!!!

 

yes one way in one way out. out is easier though.

and it takes you to the back side of bartlett lake. its really cool
