Idaho BS thread in the PNW

I do that..duh.

I need to go to bed..

 

Didn't you have the OME last August for lolo??

Haha!! So true you d get to roll with us. And yes. Keep up..but hat might change if you don't start getting armor..

I am half ass praying you rip off the rear bumper

 

Do you, ben? Do you?

 

yes i did. I would rather not put used parts in if im tearing the tranny out. And i want the HD kit. Im just going to wait and order that up. Thanks for the offer though!

 

We will find out how much he will want armor later..haha

 

word

 

naw man
his bumper has good clearance and'll just bend if he gets to the rocks

 

Front yes..rear..

If anything I'm stoked to see his skids after. Should be epic haha

 

True haha. Ben is a trooper! But tbh, I don't think he can keep up with me if we hit a truly hard trail. I've completely changed up my driving style since he last wheeled with me. He deff wouldn't have a front bumper any more that's for sure. As far as the rear...I dont know how mine is still on, everyone was rooting for it to get taken off in Moab, and I'm just looking for an excuse to rip it off, but somehow it still just keeps dragging on rocks and truckin on.

 

Oh I thought you had the OME then for some reason.

Well then new front!

Gear are what's next for me

 

I wanna wheel with the potato people

 

Our rear bumpers are actually kinda stout.

But idk man..you don't have that much over Ben really..technically you barely have anything. Front bumper. That's it.

That doesn't net you that much bigger of an advantage.

Both of you are on stock skids which is what will really allow you to thrash your shit clearance or not.

 

you guys need to go MT

 

That front bumper is more important than you seem to believe man, especially here in Idaho. Just on metal masher in Moab, Ben with his factory bumper destroyed that thig, from one trail.
I'll also throw in driving ability/style haha. Key factor there.

 

Beat me to it, but ya. I've gotten worse at saying it to myself. I don't seem to do it very often at all. I have found the limit of my truck. Need some of them 35s and more rear lift for next year haha

 

Vertical shocks dampen travel better because (when setup right) 1" of wheel travel equates to 1" of shock travel. Typically people angle them forward allowing you to run a shorter shock but each inch of shock is now dampening like 1.5-2" of wheel travel so it's not as effective but still works.

I assume the 1st gen factory setup is like a 2nd gen with one shock angled forward and one angled backwards. I've been told this is to help reduce axle wrap.

 

Once agian gonna bring up when you tried to lead us up to on metal masher...

Im not sure but i think i have pretty close to mid travel as i sit with factory uppers and lowers.

 

Everything went great up until that point haha!

 

Mt is for bitches. G big of go home. SAS or LT haha

Since when did you become the all mighty offroad driver?? Haha you've been wheeling for like..a year and a half..haha
