Idaho BS thread in the PNW

yeah, i'll check a few other places but if not...i'll be learning how to weld pipe.

 

I emailed him too..never heard anything back though. Probably just re sort them and send him the PB link

yea i have DB. used it before its nice for audio stuff.

Can't hurt. I know exhaust pipe is a bit of a bitch and take lots of practice to make look pretty and be good. But hell..who cares its just the exhaust haha

 

yeah, thats what i've heard too. eh, as long as its sealed

it's not like anyone is really going to see it

 

ahh i see.

 

Ha ha you should have seen the first muffler job I did. Actually the first weld I ever did too. Looked like absolute fuck ball shitty!!! But no leaks lol

 

Thanks a bunch for getting me to bust up laughing in the middle of lecture

 

Looking at some AP Shackles

Should i go 1.5" or 2.5" longer. Im sitting about level right now

 

AHAHAHAHAHA. YES.

That's awesome

 

is that 1.5'' longer then stock? or is it a 1.5'' lift shackle?

why do you want shackles? you know you'll need longer shocks to use them and bigger bumps for the longer shocks..

 

Because i want to bring up the rear a bit. Ill pull off the shocks and measure them but i think they should work. I can always fab up something for the bump stops not too worried about that. Do you have extended bumpstops?

Tacoma 1995.5-'04 Rear offset, zinc plated steel, 1.5" longer, Greasable - Will not fit factory springs $89/pr 4301T-AP-GR-15 1
Tacoma 1995.5-'04 Rear offset, zinc plated steel, 2.5" longer, Greasable - Will not fit factory springs $89/pr 4301T-AP-GR-25 1

 

Hmm..so the 1.5'' will give about .75'' lift and that 2.5s give about 1.25'' lift.

You'll need 10'' shocks at least for the 2.5'' if not 11s to get the use of the gains in droop. 9-10'' for the .75'' lift ones.

You just want rake again? the .75s ones would be nice for just a touch of rake. the 1.25s will be much more noticeable. or you could just get 1'' ones like me from Toytech

i don't have bigger bumps..but thats why the seals in my 5150s are dead and gone. Over compression.

 

I want the AP ones cause they come with bushings and are greasable. I looked a toytec but didnt like their selection. But ya i want my rake back, i dont really care about using the 1" of extra droop right now. Down the road i will upgrade to some nicer rear shocks like Fox or Icon.

Think ill go with the 2.5"s

 

Holy shit guys! It's not 11 pm yet

 

why whats at 11?

 

11pm-3am is usually when this thread explodes like this. Not 2-6pm. haha

 

oh..well thats cause you have nothing else to do mister i don't have class today haha

 

Ya dude if you are doing it get the 2 1/2 inch ones. The droop is quite nice (when your shocks don't suck ass) and the rake isn't a big deal at all IMO. Hell the perception of take changed depending on which angle you look at the truck. Little extra lift in teh back never hurt nobody

 

I've ha class since 1:30, so I missed the fun. Also laptop less till tomorrow , which makes doin school work a problem in a heavily technology driven major

 

exactly. no leaks = working. nothing wrong with that
