Florida B.S. Thread

Im kind of leaning towards the expo pack with the option of taking a leak out.

 

Anyone running EBC break pads? I need some breaks and its either them or HAWK or oem?

 

i'm about due and am going with the ebc green stuff i think. buddy with the land rover has them and likes them. they seem to stop his 7000 lb brick pretty well, so they can't be too bad

 

John how much lift did you get from tour expos?

 

I think I got like 3.5" from stock

 

i have the EBC GREENSTUFF for like 5000 miles on my truck is good so far

 

what'd you do for rotors?

i have my eyes on a good set of slotted and dimpled ones. gotta look pretty

 

I have a leaf pulled from my Dakars and it smoothed it up some without noticeably losing any lift.

 

ya i def wont be carrying as much weight as you do. the most would be pulling two seados. but im def gana but grade the bumps stops and i think im gana keep my leafs and UCAs for a while. those will prob be the last parts that i purchase. i have the non tsb leafs with the AAL. my buddy that i grew up with in HS just bought Special K's old mid travel front set up and he put it on his fj. he said that the TC UCAs are amazin compaired to stock def a hell of a lot smoother. so im guessing they might be just a little bit softer than the LRs plus having the resi would help too.

 

almost to the light

 

i always wonder how much is mental vs actual improvement. i had the LR ucas before i had my icons, and didn't feel a difference in smootheness when i went from stock ucas to the LRs. i've also ridden in a friends truck up in MD a couple times who has TC ucas and icons. after riding in trucks with just about every combination of shocks and ucas (minus stock UCAs with icons) i haven't been able to feel a difference based on UCAs. shocks however, are worlds appart.

we're on the same page

 

Hit 75,000 miles today on the truck... only 25k left under warranty

lol still running strong? I got my truck at 60k and its still running great.

All those trucks seem overpriced... and they are all 2wd's... is it just me? Maybe its the 4 door thing
