Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

not a great drawling lol but its the idea of what we are wanting to build in the backyard.

 

what ya doing over here!

 

Got some more bits for the patio. Should have done this a few days ago but laziness hit for a few days whoops!

 

I stop working like the mad scientist will have to ride out your way sometime.

 

haha for sure man. my bike is still on a stand i havent bothered to put it back together just yet.

 

I hear that, I need to buy ramps now. Going to put my bike on new tires too. They are old enough though they don’t look bad at all.

 

ya i got my tires mounted i gave up on doing the powdercoating this year since i got other things i want to do atm so need the bike rideable here soonish. prob will put it back together today since its kinda muddy and crappy out to work on the patio.

 

so ive been getting things together to do a raptor swap on the truck. but ive had one issue where i couldnt progress with buying things until i found the shim or spacer that everyone calls it... nobody gave a part number on the forums so i kept loooking and finally found someone giving the part number on a youtube video and no wonder when searching for spacer or shim i find nothing ford calls it a bracket...

so adding this to the list of bs i need.
still looking for hardware but getting things slowly sorted out

 

But if patio work and dirtbikes this weekend

 

well this is a bummer lol

half yard of dirt and the raptor shocks were ridding on bumps... the shocks are tired but not leaking and still good but just not able to do well truck stuff... so might just sell off my raptor shocks and just get some bilstiens i bought this for a truck and truck things and getting this tiny amount of dirt and causing the truck to go on bumps is a bit annoying when it didnt use to.

 

Your picture don’t work

also shocks have nothing to do with weight carrying capacity. You need heavier springs.

 

odd the pic wont work?

also my trucks payload is 3300lbs my springs are not the issue before i put the raptor shocks on my truck wouldnt move much when adding weight to the bed or with towing (depending on how much weight obviously). once the raptor shocks were added they squat all the way down.

stating shocks have nothing to do is also not accurate either...


i have read that some stated if you dont have a taller lift block that could be the cause of the issue as well. but that seems rather odd to have a little block change that?

 

I see you A.D.D. like me...

 

naaah its a.d.h... oh look a butterfly! what were we talking about again?
