Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Hell, with that kind of money just get a fucking trophy truck.








Edit: or an ultra 4

 

I heard mixed results from traction bars on off road trucks at least the ones offered for tacos. the budbuilt one attaches to some not too thick bolts on the rear case. better option is welded to the axle. I also think you really need two so you don't get and side wrap from having one side stiffer than other. I really thought about one but decided against it. Been thinking about one piece driveshaft though...

 

Made it to my destination.

Exhausted.

 

...why we detoured

 

Run this.

 

Have you tried running a health check on it from a smart charger? My NOCO charger has a chek and a repair mode that can help desulfonate battery. It's possible it is toast from getting run so low multiple times. AGM batteries are more tolerant of that than lead-acid.

Fully loaded Chevy Tahoe’s are 100k from what I’ve heared.

 

Friends new Denali xl was 78,500. Dumb.

 

Some suckers paid over 40k for their Tacoma’s...

Myself included. But I recognize that I am a special model whore. My 05 MR2 Spyder is a special edition, my Tacoma is a TuRD Pro, my wife’s GX is The Mark Levinson Special Edition. I recognize the non value that most special editions are, but I still chose to buy them.

 

I’m not too familiar with the build built one but I agree that a weld on would be better.

My dad and brother run traction bars in their leaf sprung FJ40s but they’re also running v8s so they have lots of axle wrap. They centered the bar though and just run the one.

I’ve debated off and on if I need one, I usually just let off if my rear end starts to jump. Been ok so far.

 

what trail do you guys visit!

 

NERDS

 

The easiest way to adjust is taje them off the truck and use a vise.
Rock and road has a good you tube video on rebuilding coilovers. More info then you need but the prosses of breaking down a coilover is what really helps see how to maintain your investment. There is a few things in that video that will help.

 

I looked at that. Opted for the two-piece due to concerns about lower critical speed rating on really long driveshafts. Didn't want to install a driveshaft that my truck was capable of destroying at speed (not on a public road). The diameter and wall thickness that would have been required for the one piece just got dumb.

 

All of them! I’m waiting for the snow to melt so I can hit up some local to me stuff.

Here’s what NorCal people have been posting:

What is a Mark Levinson special edition GX? I have a GX with the Mark Levinson sound system, but sounds like this special edition deal is something else.

 

‘Sup my dudes! Freshened up the nearly 5 yr old spray job on my Elite Fab (RIP) bumper and RCI skid yesterday. Now just gotta add the factor 55 fairlead I’ve had for ever waiting to be put on.



Free Warn hawse fairlead to whoever wants it.

 

What’s up Anthony! Looking good!

 

Hey James! Thanks man, I know I’ve been a bit absent in the past few months here, but looking forward to a fun camping season this year!

 

Rather buy the bro-dozer
