Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Been there done that. Wanted something new.

I have conquered that place a long time ago. It gets easier and easier after every jeep safari

 

Thanks for the link. I'm hoping I don't have to redo them a ton of times to get it right.

 

Big suice, little suice, catty hill, gate keeper. Really I need a challenge

 

I have done them all. All great trails if you got a decent lift, 33's, lockers front/rear and decent body armor(if you got a toy)

 

Edit stupid double post

 

The Rubicon is over populated these days. If you go on pirates4x4 they have a thread dedicated to the a Rubicon schedule. Which groups are going to be there every weekend during the summer.
Last time I went in like 04 and there was about 175 rigs on the trail. I think it took a solid 14 hours to get to the springs from loon lake.
First time I went was in 94. It took us about 4 hours to do the same thing.
That was the trip that got me hooked.

I can only imagine what it is like know. Since I drive up here almost every sunday to camp and I see and avg of 20 to 30 rigs leaving. That is only a two hour period from Sacramento to tahoe

 

The guys from the Moab run this year are talking about doing the Rubicon next year

 

Jay don't fine me for leaving my fire like this!!

I need it to make breakfast in the morning

 

I will go. If I can spot and ride shotty

 

Isn't that a part of the closure?

 

Yeah mine's wifey approved too but I can't decide between that or Relentless...

They look great from what I've seen so far but I'm a picky bastard and wanted to see some more pictures or close ups of the fitment around the fender area

 

Here it is on stock suspension apparently:

 

So you kinda see what I'm saying? Like some of those pictures look like it meshes right up with the fender but in some of the others it looks like it sticks out quite a bit. Is it photo angles, mounting differences, or am I just insane?

 

when I first got it, it sat maybe 3/8" lower on the fender on the passenger side and about 7/8" on the drivers side, this has been fixed.

you aren't insane lol. I bolted the bumper on an it had a taco lean I guess you could say. This is common actually, instead of nagging Billy about it I took matters in to my own hands and fixed it myself. sits about 1/2" lower on the passenger and roughly 9/16" on the driver

 

I could take more pics if you want anything more specific

 

Haha large is that your truck? I just looked through his GB threads and snagged some pics How did you go about fixing it yourself? I haven't tried mounting it at all yet to see how it fit. I did just snag some TC UCA's from DSM, though. Pretty excited to get those.

your name is Cody as well. Cody's have good taste in bumpers apparently.

 

ha yeah that's mine, looks better now that i mounted a winch. On the passenger side there is a bolt in the high lift notch hole that has to be reached through about a 12" long extension, IIRC it's 12MM socket like in this pic:



this was the (main) culprit, all i did was take after measurements, and see the bumper is lower on the drivers side roughly 3/8" and took a larger drill bit and wallered the hole out another 3/8" and viola, it raised that side up lowering the passenger side, now they are almost identical.

I can't however take all the credit for this, PSU Taco85 gets most of the credit, I spent an hour tinkering with it with floor jacks and my high lift trying to lift the side up so they match.

It's not billy's fault either, I've worked with a CNC machine before, they are really accurate and fast but they need calibration and the steel plates you lay on the CNC machine have to be perfectly square to cut right, if it was off 3/8" no biggie to me.

 

Ahhh, cool. Looks like another post I'll have to bookmark for later. On another note, my dad had to buy some cheap tools at harbor freight today so I tagged along. Stocked my toolbox up with tons of cheap tools. Muhahaha.
