Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Huge thanks to @tyfoon11 for driving all the way down here and spending yet another Saturday doing work in my garage.

Coilovers swapped, all new bushings in my UCAs and the steering TSB done.


Steering slop/clunk/play eliminated.

 

Dam it I'll take the info if any of you two don't pick it up.

 

how much do they weigh?

also are you just going to rattle can them or are you going to get them powder coated

they look sweet

is it as good as the zip ties?

bummed i missed the garage shenanigans with you too hooligans

i got to do a suspension overhaul on my buddies crew cab short bed ford f250 but we had a lift having a lift is so nice when doing suspension i can't wait till i have access to one full time (same buddy is putting one in at the shop on his ranch)

 

also in other news got my prinsu roof rack in today

I got the bare finish because i wanted it white but it was way more expensive for the white so just finished painting it the clear coat is drying and in about half hour I'm going to go out and get it installed

@duncnasty is going to get my stock roof bars in exchange for his weather stripping (and the roof basket he gave me a few months back)

I got a viair on board air system dual 444c pack 200psi with 2.5 gallon tank
they are mounted in the bed right now
and a little bit of beep beep from horn blasters is under the truck because why not I already have a siren (I know they are very illegal but they are really fun)
but the air system is installed and lines are plumbed i have a quick connect in the bedside cubby in the bed for the tire inflator hose
i have to finish up the wiring for the compressors and switches but its almost done

I ordered the A.R.E overland series camper a couple weeks ago should be here in the next week or two to pick up and then ill install the prinsu rack on there and then once that is said and done it'll be time to build a drawer stage system for the bed

Im excited the truck is finally getting to where I want it to bad I don't have enough time to take it out as I used to but soon

 

Im due for another replacement. After my last dirt rendezvous my clunk is back... I think I need to do this one myself. I'm a little over my warranty mileage limit.

 

Let's see some pics and we'll help you macguyver it!

 

They'll probably ended up being around 110 lbs. I'm not sure what is considered heavy. They're about 79" long. The main tube is 2x2x.120 and the outside tube and the pieces connecting it to the main tube are 1.5x1.5x.120. The legs are 2x2x.25. Not looking forward to welding those on.

I'm on a budget, so no powder coating. No need to highlight my welds either. I'll probably do Rust-Oleum truck bed coating to match my fenders and rear bumper. Makes for easy touch up and a good surface to stand on.

 

And to think not long ago you were wanting to sell it.... lol

 

Well how was it? As big of a pain as you thought it was gonna be?

 

How long did it take to get the rack?

 

The funny part is you took time to put periods in ARE.

 

Way better than the zip ties. Happy about that.
Lift is always better, you made the right choice of where to go.

 

Turned out to be reasonably easy with two people. Critical to carefully index the parts exactly as described in the TSB.

 

Lets go you little leprechaun. Git-sum!

 

It's gonna be good

 

Corona light eh

 

Can't believe you bought the fight.

 

Thanks for the invite to TW fight night. Dick.

 

This lol

 

Mayweather 50-0 in less than two rounds. My prediction
