June 11th desert run!

Siiiick.. you keepin it off to the side like that? Or gonna mount it in the center?

 

Gonna keep it off to the side like that. Just my kind of look

 

Nice.. how do you like your projector headlights? I'm gonna get some but a different style in the black housing.

 

They are ok. I like the look of them, but according to a sticker on the back housing I can't run HID's, so halogen it is. I don't have the halo's, light bar, or led's wired up cause I'm retarted, so after that happens I might like them more.

 

oh yeah, and I can't wait either. Who is all going to the Deftones show tomorrow?? This guy is

 

Well shit man.. lol get on that. Thats the whole point of those things. Lol I'm sure they would look a lot better all wired up. Never been a big Deftones fan.. only like a couple songs and some guest vocals he did on a metal song. have some friends going to that show.

 

so when i used to go to the desert, it always felt like my rear end was getting rammed up my ass because i hit by bumy stops so hard, and every little bump i hit it hits them too. i couldnt even jump 4 inches without feeling like i broke my tail bone.

last night i put on a AAL and 5125s. WOW. theres a little thing i can jump in my neighborhood, but its a flat landing. got about 2 feet of air and landed smooth! didnt even tough the bump!

we need to find some jumps out there!

 

Once again I'm missing Deftones One of my favorite bands of all time. Just played their stuff on my drive into work today.

 

Nice.. lucky bastard. Lol. My front suspension is crazy stiff. :/ it sucks. I bought the truck with the lift and everything already on it. It's not a spacer lift.. or full suspension. I'm pretty sure they aren't 5100s either. But Damn do those speedbumps kill. Feels like there's no play in the shock. It doesn't absorb any of it. Just bounces over. I know ill probably be hanged for this. Lol. But on Saturday you guys think you can help me figure out what the deal is and what kind of set up it has. That's what i get for buying a truck with it already done.. Haha

 

yeah dude of course ill attempt to help haha. but think about putting some spacers on the front, it sticks the tire out which wil give it more leverage on the shock so it will be softer. i didnt think about it untill i put spacers on and it was smoother over everything. speed bumps especially. it took alot of thinking to figure out what changed it haha

 

Wheel spacers? Or suspension spacers? I cant tell if anything has been replaced like the UCAS or springs since the whole thing is so clean still from when i bought it.

 

wheel spacers, because it will push your wheels out and give it more leverage on your shocks.

 

Got ya.. and that really helps? I would of never thought of that. Lol.

 

Yeah dude, and the look is pretty sweet. I'm running inch and a half spidertrax and its pretty sweet.

 

My tires already stick out about a half an inch to an inch.. as long as they don't stick out too much more im in. Is there a benefit on throwing some on the rear too.. if you can add them to the rear?

 

I mean your 4x4 so it would make sense. It's a way to widen your footprint so you can get some sweet corners in.

 

Any of you guys want to meet up tomorrow night? I have squat for plans but I'm sure I will end up in the tempe area.

 

Sweet... I'm looking up spacers now. Lol. Any size recommendations? I guess its up to me huh.. whats an average size? And brand? Allpro? Those spidertrax?

I dont have plans either Underdog.. was just gonna chill at my place. maybe have my buddy that has a Taco and is coming Saturday swing by. If your in the Tempe area let me know. I'm off Elliot and the 10.

 

I would definitely go with spidertrax. Their construction is more solid, and the way the are built reduces load on your studs. I forget the technical explanation. And for sure dude.

 

Both the Spidertrax and AllPro use hub centric style, both are equally as good. However, the Spidertrax have been around longer and thus "more proven" but... both are solid. The key is to get hub centric style spacers, properly torque, and re-check the torque per the recommended install guide.
