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

Time and place tomorrow?

 

Grapevine craft brewery, noon

 

I kinda of want to sell mine and buy the adjuster ones but I got other stuff to get first so maybe someday.

 

10-4, thanks

 

@Egnaro coming out tomorrow?

 

Cant you add the adjusters during a rebuild?

My plans always been to add kings or something similar one day... when i'm not broke from other mods.

 

King's website says you can add them, but cheaper to buy replacements with adjusters.

Awwwww shit...

Did he get a woman or something, cause he has been absent lately...

 

Damn I wouldnt have guessed it would cost so much.

 

Also. I’ll be at Barnwell on the 28th for a little bit. At least from 11 until after the raffle.

 

Did somebody say raffle?

 

What is the draw for adjusters? Adjustability if the truck is a daily? Different load out weights?
Wouldn't a properly valved shock perform better without them?

Im asking as I'm currently thinking through what suspension direction I want to go long term. If my truck wasn't long bed I would look at doing +2 lt, but I feel I can get close enough travel numbers with a well thought out mid travel setup and save some width/cost/maintenence.

 

I think the adjustability for DD's would be the main draw for me. You don't have to "compromise" if you go from street driving to rock crawling to tearing up the desert. Just adjust the soft/firmness to match your terrain. You can get custom valving but you can't be 100% sure it'll be what you want. The feel of the suspension is subjective. The adjuster gives you the ability to fine tune it. If you're buying new, I think its worth the extra coin. I got a deal on mine without adjusters and I'm satisfied with them. Still a little stiff but more adding weight (like a winch) should soften them up.

 

Alright guys truck is packed and I'm rolling out to grapevine! Hopefully I can meet up with you guys soon!

 

Safe travels!

For any of you guys that want your seat belt chimes turned off, come find me today at the meet.

 

Too bad I won't make the meet...might be curious about this seat belt thing though.

 

Make it to the next meet and we'll get it done. Just a cable and Techstream.

 

Safe travels!

It took what, all of 30 seconds to turn mine off out at hidden falls. The hard part was remembering to not buckle my seat belt to see if it worked.

 

My 07 doesn't chime by default

 

Can you not just unplug the electrical connection at the buckle? Worked on the ol tundra..
