Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I have no clue where I'll be - just know work is opening an office in Rancho Cordova come Nov. 1 and I'll be heading up there.
No places looked at, no areas decided on, but I'll be up there soon enough.

 

ahh gotcha. Sorry, jumped the gun. Mah bad.

 

Shoot. Skip gearing and go straight for HP! LS super power!

 

Lmao! As if that's any better on my wallet than regearing?

Actually, if I really think about it... re-gearing or LS wouldn't be that much of a price difference. lol

 

Haha. Who needs to crawl when you can fly!

 

You all good. I think I’ll be staying out of the city and closer to the mountains but all options open at this point

 

Id agree with this. My research showed 488 with a 5sp or 529 auto. I went 488 on my 5sp but ran them on 285/75/16s for a day and think you'd be fine with either honestly. My longer long term goal is twin cases so I went 4.88 on 315/75/16 and it feels better than i remember stock 4.10 on 31s feeling if that counts for anything, just shift to 4th on some hills. The 33s i didn't have to shift once i was in 5th. If you're just doing auto and single tcase and 35s go 529. Jeeps are lucky with their 5.13. That sounds perfect.

 

Oh and milwuakee ftmfw. Only tool I buy. Look em up on YouTube, they smash the competition in every field except yard tools against ego.....where they take second. Black Friday sales on websites like acme are pretty slick too. I got my 1/2 med force fuel impact for like $160 with a battery.

 

Or maybe 5.38 with bigger tires


Better than stock!

My manual (w56) Toyota pickup with 5.29 and 35” was perfect. I ran 37”s for awhile and they were great on the trail (5:1 tcase) but the truck struggled on the road.

 

My neighbor just bought and fixed the house next door..... Oak park in the house. I'll do your lawn too.....however, the house on the other side is a trap house...just fyi

 

Anybody looking for a matching spare wheel for a 3rd gen sport? My buddy got new wheels and said I can buy his stocks for $500. Im only really wanting 1 so I figured if I can find 3 other guys then I would buy them. Not looking to flip and make money off them so they would be $125 each. Idk if thats asking too much or too little

 

I mainly use it for unscrewing small stuff. Often I get started by hand to avoid stripping stuff, then use power. Reverse when tightening but finish with torque wrench.

for big stuff like lug nuts I have big 1/2”. It’s a monster so air tools would be better but with some clever extensions I can get most stuck things undone.

1/4” impacts are tough on bits and adapters b/c they spin fast. The surge is more constant power rather than jerky. I’ve snapped many impact rated 3/8” adapters with impact and I think a couple with surge but I’m not usually using them on the truck.

 

Wow, I guess so, as I'm 4 blocks off Salmon Falls and Green Valley. On Bancroft. Looks to be in the Winterhaven area. Southern edge, if it is.

 

Salmon falls is fun on the bike. Just be careful for the cars that drift in your lane or you will be flying over the hood. Had a close call one time when i was riding. Damn near shit myself

 

That road can be hella sketch! Even in my car I’ve had some pucker moments with cars drifting into my lane. Can’t imagine on a bike!

 

I was young and stupid.

Well, i guess now im just old and stupid lol

 

Thought of @Fernando today...

#coorsClaw
