NJ B.S. Thread

Yes Scott....you just confirmed you are full of shit from a bull

 

I was thinking about having my OEM sport rims powdercoated, but my guy wants $90/wheel. He does a nice job, but I'm not willing to spend that at this point.

Does anyone know someone good in NY/NJ that can be a little more competitive with pricing?

 

There is a guy down here in south nj that is good. Psutaco has his info. If I wasn't at work I could grab it for you but alas I'm on my phone

 

Spray paint.

 

How quickly do u want done....my dude is building his shop now and powder coating will be one of his abilities. May be 3 months away though.

 

Thanks. Called and he wants $100/rim. I'm sure he does a great job and it's worth it, but I'm not sure I want to spend that right now. With that kind of money, I could just get used aftermarket rims.

I will look into spray bombing them.

 

dam last time I drove by I could of swore the sign out front said $25 per wheel.....................



and regarding your prep worries it's not hard at all. heck I didn't even sand down the last set I painted.

 

My tailgate is finally painted.

 

Yea I just clean them and let them dry thoroughly and then hit them with some krylon dual satin black.

 

why would you paint your tail and what color

 

cool...Ill be over at 3am with my 6pack to trade

 

LR UCA's arrived today. Now I just need to make a decision about the rest of the components....

Also, I had no idea they were located in CO. I've probably driven past them hundreds of times before.

 

take your time and be methodical... that's my best advice.

also be sure who you ask for help actually knows their shit. there are a ton of "parrots" online that just spout things others have said with no knowledge of it themselves.

Brutalguyracing is pretty much a pro with those so I would start with him.

 

I hear BGR is great with wiring too

For me it's down to the OME complete kit, or getting Icons all around with the Dakar leafs. I'm just looking for a modest 2-2.5" lift with a good ride on- and off-road (mostly on-road) that can soak up all the bumps from the bad roads and railroad crossings around here. I would love to get Kings but the $$$ is more than I want to spend. The only reason I'm even considering the Icon is because I like the idea of having adjustable height in the front and I can accept the modest price difference going with them versus the OME.

 

I have to stop backing into shit.

It will be on the porch.
It better be a good six pack.

 

I think I am going to be up grading to the Icons soon. I need to replace my rear 5100s they are both now leaking.

 

I was amazed actually.... last truck I rode in on Dakars was bump as heck. They also had OME rear shocks.

I will verify it was so cushy I fell asleep a couple times while Ant was bombing the trails

Prices just went up today or yesterday for them

Woot! Both leaking! Only one of my rears has puked at this point.

 

Yeah I was looking at your build thread a while back when I first started looking at the Icons w/ Dakars. How is the ride compared to stock, especially in the rear? Most of what I've read says it's about the same or slightly stiffer until you pick up some speed. I almost hate the way the stock rear rides, but I have the 3-leaf springs, so I really wanted to just upgrade to something beefier like the Dakars instead of doing an AAL. Looked at the All-Pro leafs but the lack of an overload spring scares me a little, and I don't want to lift my rear that much.

Also, it looks like most people have a uni-ball UCA on a mid-travel setup. Would the LR UCA be ok with extended travel coilovers or should I just stick to normal coilovers? Price would be the same either way so if I can get some more ability that would be great.
