DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Yeah, 700 is for sure beefy. Throw a winch on and see what happens.

 

I’m wonder if the 45mph speed bump action has anything to do with your issues.....

 

Nah couldn't be. I rarely get air as I hit those same 5 speed bumps twice a day every weekday rushing to get home for lunch.

 

Out here sanding at Maner’s compound. Gorgeous day!

 

@Ghost0317 Your boys f'ed up. Only 2 of 3 packages from my Wheelers order showed up. The other tracking number just shows "Delay". I just hope it arrives before the weekend.

 

I emailed deaver about a custom pack a few months ago. Still waiting on a reply...

If your kinda interested I can do 16/17's. With the final tune built ovtune. If you dont ahve the right ECU version I can update that also so the tune I have can be installed. I have no plans of building tunes or getting any for the 18+ trucks with different ecus.

When I had the 700# with the slimline and winch it would have been close to just your bumper and it was a little harsh to me. Only a little. When I switched to the new full bumper with the winch its maybe 50-60lbs heavier and it feels so much better. hitting a pot hole in a car feels worse than hitting speed bumps doing 40+.

 

How do you like the tune?

 

sWAY BARS ARE for sailors

 

I've been tuned for a little over a year. I like it and it helps but its not a fix for gears and I think most people over hype it. I was def expecting more when I got it from the way everyone talks about it. The truck shifts less but I still cant use 6th on highway doing 70. I only upgraded from OVtune to VF tune because I was already invested and the upgrade was cheap with already having it. I'm hoping when the day comes that I regear, It will finally hold 6th on the highway which its never even done even when it was stock.

 

Why I love having a choice over my gears. Manual helps for sure. When I go bigger than 33's I'll regear too

 

Luckily you have a few days, hopefully you don't need them.

 

700's work great for my setup. 650's just weren't firm enough.
Also no sway bar.

 

I thought about going manual but knew it would be my DD for a long time and I didnt want a manual DD. I thought I was going to go 35's one day but with the wheels I have now I would have to tub the crap out of my firewall or get a 3rd set of wheels. It also requires a lot of wheel well work to get full articulation. from what I've read and seen. I dont think I want to do any of that and the 33's work for me and look good. We'll see if/when I change my mind if I ever go down that rabit hole.

I agree with this. The 700 are much better with no sway bar over 650 and 600. 600 was kinda scary with no sway bar.

 

Makes sense. I don’t have much common sense. But hey. We’re only here once!

 

I might take you up on your offer.

 

Anyone tuned their 3rd gen manual?
Around here specifically ?

 

Long days running trails and going out for night runs after a full day of fun. My truck tells many stories as you walk around it of bad decisions that were a lot of fun!

 

Depends where it was delayed. Was it suppose to be delivered today?

 

It still shows to be in Dallas. The two leaf packs went to Dallas while the box with shocks went to Arlington. 1 pack and the box eventually got mated up and loaded on the local truck for delivery, but that other leaf pack still hanging out somewhere. I really don't mind waiting, but just hope it doesn't go missing. UPS and FedEx are usually pretty good to me. Its the Postal Service that I hate. Too many times they've mark my stuff as delivered and its not there.

Any update on getting your truck from Toyota?

 

Last day for the anytime camera group buy if anyone is interested, I have been wanting to do this & lucked out searching the 3rd gen forums
