Literallynothing build thread

Eh the event has gotten way smaller and splits up into groups so there’s not ridiculous group sizes anymore. But that sounds like a good time, I’ve never been able to make it out there for a full week

 

Its our annual trip. He drives his rig from TN and back, and hes in his 70s, so its a bit more of a laid back trip but I look forward to it every year. Well still play on some bigger stuff but have to keep ourselves in check. Always love 9 straight days of camping and riding.

 

Hell yeah, those look like my old wheels with fake bead rings

 

That would be awesome. I will say that I’ve had significantly more rocks in the bead and air burping from tires with standard wheels than I did with fake bead locks

 

That sounds like a damn good tradition

 

Replaced my rear bumper last weekend with a WarFab high clearance Phantom rear. Huge shout out to @In4aride for hooking it up, and helping me get a bumper that is perfect for my needs

 

Ended up running a local trail yesterday and finding a good spot to check clearances at full bump, also got to see pretty much full droop out of those Kings thanks to @ARCHIVE shock relocation and shackle hangers. I do need to move the lower shock mounts down a tad, and hopefully get a shorter pedestal for the superbumps, but I've decided to work on the front a bit first, since it is already miles behind the rear. I have a feeling that locked off road bumpstops are in my near future.

P.S. ignore the KO2, had a sidewall failure on one of the coopers and need to get a replacement

 

You running 12s or 14s?

 

Short body 14s. That’s about 12.25” of shaft shown in the picture and the other side is completely bottomed out which is why I need to move the mounts down about an inch or so

 

Wanna let me try on that old bumper one night this week?

 

This website needs more actual wheeling. Glad I came across this thread

 

I’ve been eyeballing that bumper, it’s as HC as HC bumpers get!

Did you ask @In4aride to build it shorter on the sides or is that how they come? I like the size since I’ll chop the flares anyways for larger tires.

 

Gotcha! It’s a perfect size actually, gives you a lot of flexibility for future cutting.

 

I can do wednesday or this weekend if that works for you

 

Lol half this thread is random crap and I’m very ok with that

 

I'm done around 415 Wednesday I'll shoot you a pm that day

 

Sounds good. I’ll PM you my # in case I don’t get on here

 

Little update:
Found a good deal on some ADS coilovers, so I shelled out the cash for those. The guys over at Sherpa Equipment Company decided to buy a forklift, so the following pictures are because of that. The tire ended up being 30" off the ground at max height. Not half bad for a leaf sprung truck with IFS.

 

Nice! Are you on 12 or 14” rear shocks?

 

14s. I have about 12.5” of shaft showing at here, and the other side is damn near fully compressed
