Chico/Redding Area BS Thread

Hey, everybody.

I'm in Weaverville and set to take possession of a GFC Camper within the month. It's time to invest in some suspension upgrades, but I lack the time and expertise to do the work myself. Are there any reputable shops in the Redding area that specialize in this? Thanks.

Totally Trucks is a well known place, but I've never used them. My advice would be to do some research on exactly what suspension upgrades you want to do, and buy them. Then have a shop install it for you. You can PM me if you have any questions you need answers for.

 

PM sent.

 

I’ve heard good things about Flex Point Offroad in north Redding - a buddy just had them do his re-gear and said they were great. They build roll cages and buggy’s and all sorts of gnarly stuff so I’m sure they could do it.

 

Wow somehow this thread has not given me any notifications the last year or so. Im upset lol Good to see its somewhat active though! Anybody plan on doing any trail riding soon? Any place to go besides OHV? Im still stock so i cant do anything too hardcore lol

 

I'm pretty busy with work this time of year so I don't know if I'll make it out there or not, but if you want some easy fire roads to drive there's some out in Platina and French Gulch. I drive them when deer season comes around. That's really all I know of as far as public land goes other than the Chappie Shasta OHV park. I'd like to find some more though!

 

Meet up at Final Draft soon??

 

I'm down whenever I'm off work as long as we don't plan for Tuesday through Thursday.

 

Hell yeah! By the way, did ya ever get those sliders installed?! Haha

 

No hahah. Been super busy, and dealing with some family stuff. They're prepped and painted and sitting in my garage still..

 

Not too soon. I just cracked a second beer after my shot.
I gota hit one of these get togethers.

 

Hey guys, i live in Anderson, would love to get together with "The New Northern California Taco Brotherhood", just set the date and place.

 

This was taken driving in Sonora Mexico

 

Hey Colin, did you ever get this sorted out? I had Jeff at Redding Wheel and Brake install mine due to a lack of work space and he did a great job. He got me the bilstein 5100 struts and matching shocks out back to go with the add-a-leafs I found on craigslist. My only regret was not getting a little beefire front springs at the same time

 

Are they down on Hartnell? I had Point S do my alignment post-lift since I’m in Palo Cedro and I think I need more caster.. haven’t found a really good alignment shop and don’t wanna try PS again since they just got me back to stock settings it looked like. Still getting occasional on-road rub after CMC with 34s which gets worse/more frequent off road

 

Yup, right next to harbor freight.

 

I decided to go with Flex Point. I ordered back in June; the leaf springs and one set of shocks ( I forget if it was front or rear) arrived within a week or two, but we’re STILL waiting on the other set of shocks. They were supposed to arrive this past week, but I didn’t get a call. Ross, the owner, offered to install the parts that had arrived earlier in the summer, but I wanted it all installed at once so I would only need to get one alignment job afterwards. I’m a little nervous as I put down a bunch of cash up front, and I’ve never done business with them before, but he’s been in business over 5 years, has generally good Google reviews, and seems like a stand-up guy when I talk to him on the phone.

 

Any of you needed to replace your windshield yet? If yes or no, any recommendations on where to go?

 

I haven't myself, but I think my brother used Platinum Auto Glass. They also have the best reviews on Google for the shops in our area.

 

Platinum Auto Glass is legit. They've done some glass work for me on some other cars and they've always done a great job.
