Flagstaff/Northern AZ Thread

Need/ want....sorta but don’t have room for one lol. Maybe we’ll just eat our wheaties before pulling off the gfc haha.

But yes we will figure out pricing for that. You have all your parts? Doing the same for @Sixthelement when his shocks show up towards the end of next month

 

I start to move into my place this week. If it seems like I can install one of those ceiling hoists without them finding out Ill do that so I can remove the GFC separately. If not it definitely requites 4 guys. It might only weight ~400lbs but when its large, awkward and top heavy it feels like a lot more. I wonder how much it is to rent a forklift from a local place for a day?

edit: Also I still dont have the shocks, been so busy I completely forgot to order them. That might throw a wrench in the works.

 

Yeah shock lead times are terrible right now. But we’ll figure things out. Get those shocks on order after you get unpacked

 

If I’m not working and schedule lines up I could help remove the GFC if your in Flagstaff now @Atl-atl

 

I could also swing by and help lift it off.

 

dawwww you guys are makin me feel all warm and fuzzy

 

New steel order placed and I grabbed some extra material for 3 sets of DOM sliders. @MR E30 already put a deposit for one set. Anyone else interested in some? Should be starting on sliders in 2-3 weeks

 

@SweatyBiscuit skids finally done. Sorry it took so long but they should get the job done.

@MR E30 sliders started


And shock parts ordered to rebuild my own shocks. Need to get them rebuilt so we can keep doing these things.

Should start offering ride alongs. $50 per 30min ride. Have fun, scare your wife/ kids, whatever. Room for 3 passengers per ride along. That’s like 50% off the price of a pink jeep through broken arrow sooo....hahaha

 

I'll give you a ride if you give me one:

Aviation BS and Photo Thread

 

That might have to be arranged at some point

 

Let me know. Based out of Prescott. Also, looks like you do some fab work. I've got a 98 T100 I want to give the Baja treatment, we may need to talk about that too.

 

Sounds good to me. As for the T100 I’d have to do a little research to see what’s available for that but we can definitely talk and come up with a plan to suit your needs

 

Sounds good. I've wanted a Total Chaos long travel kit for 15 years, but cant justify the cost. Would like something long travel but don't need race specs. We'll see

 

Yeah unfortunately that’s about the only kit I’m finding for you. But it would be a good kit for up front. Then do a custom leaf setup out back or something. But all depends on budget and what you want the truck to be able to do

 

I knew a guy in so cal and he said getting the front fabbed from scratch might be a better option, do you know of any shops up here or in the valley that might be able to do that?

 

You could ask 454 motorsports down in the valley. They do some custom suspension stuff that I’ve seen. Or they could probably steer to you a reputable shop that could if they didn’t want to do it. It’s something I know I am capable of doing, but not something I’d be willing to do for someone other than myself. Least not until I build a shop.

That said I’ve been out with this t100 in glamis and it gets down hard. Total chaos kit up front with just a coilover. It’s got a 4 link now in the rear but it used to be leaf spring similar to my rear.

 

Yeah that thing is pretty awesome. Don't know that I even need anything that hardcore. I want to be able to float down washboard roads and some whoops is about it. Minor jumping may occur.

The total chaos kit is definitely nice. Well I've had the truck since '06 and wanted to do something since the day I bought it, so I'm not in a big hurry. Wouldn't mind dropping it off somewhere for an extended period of time to get something fabbed up if that worked out. Might give them a call and see what they say. If in the future you are up for it, let me know.

 

Give them a call and see what they say. I think the chaos kit is a great option and will be cheaper than having a fab shop do something custom. I know it’s way cheaper than I’d have to charge someone. But keep me in the loop. I’d be happy to install the chaos kit up front and whip up a nice spring under leaf setup out back. Just a matter of finding time to work on things paired with current shock company lead times to get shocks. Call around and see what a few shops say. And pm me if you wanted to run some numbers and talk more detailed designs and options

 

Sounds good. Let me know if you ever come down the hill.

 

Will do
