Northern Virginia Roll Call

Sure as shit you we not far off!!!!!!!!!

 

Hahaha, I don't know why I decided to humor myself today by making fun of your alignment woes with weird pictures of motor graders that no one but me understood. Glad you got it sorted though. Any idea how your front got so fucked working on the rear?

 

I wish the graphic of the tire/suspension would be visually representative (even if over exaggerated for demonstrative purposes)!

Well even with the toe/steer ahead being off, I was still getting my avg. 19+mpg on the drives into and from work yesterday and this morning (that's with correcting for 285/70r17s).

Sunday I removed the OE leaf pack and 1-1.5" block (didn't measure and left them along with OE ubolt kit with FiL) and added the Heavy Dobinsons leaf pack...netted me 2.5" approximately using the bottom of the receiver hitch at FiL's garage before and after. The steering wheel was cocked to the left while truck tracked straight that evening, so just added to my state inspection appointment this morning.

 

And if we can't poke fun at others, what good are we?!? (or something like that)

 

I mean I think it's clear your right front toe was the issue, the mystery is how the hell anything you did in the back effected it! So weird.

 

Thanks Jake!

 

Your telling me, I mean the left toe wasn't great, but not near as bad as that right one!

Ever sense @EatSleepTacos pointed out my driver side UCA was resting on my coil thanks to that spacer lift while we had a fun #randyFAB day, I now notice the wear on the coil everytime I walk past the front driver wheel...and am debating on if I should wait to add my skids, since I cannot wait patiently enough for the 4-6 week delivery of my Elka 2.5 setup to arrive, especially since I've got the SPC uca's waiting to go on once they arrive. I am aware many folks provide specific "requirements" or end measurement goals for the best use of the SPC uca and wheel/tire setup given the ucas vast adjustment settings (I know there's bound to be tons of data on this...just need to absorb ahead of install/alignment).

Then I'd be interested how off the alignment measurement will come out...if I do it, I probably will need to be towed to the shop hahahaahaha!

 

HA! That's my work truck, except reversed. Not kidding. One shop said the rear is not adjustable and would not fix. The other shop would not fix because of who my companies fleet service contract is with. That said, I will do it my self when I get the time.

The reason my ass is outta alignment is because I got run off the road and the right rear took a hit. To which the the axle on the right rear has slid back on the leaf pack a good inch and a half. The shear pin through the leaf pack is guaranteed broken. I have new parts for the repair and will get it back out of the company my way.

 

Jesus, man!

 

Oh yeah.. It's pretty awesome driving. left front on the left side of the lane, Right rear to the right side. I should get a pic of it.

 

No but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I should be able to take care of performing that surgery for you.

 

Ive been leaning towards an onboard tank. The wife and I are discussing some big changes, potentially involving a habitat and MAYBE 2 more axles...

 

Yeah I mean the nice thing of a jug is it isn’t stuck in one place but an onboard tank would be nice too.

something with 2 more axles would be sweet. There are so many options haha

 

You're a little late. It was done this morning. By a guy that stayed at a Marriott.

 

Not a new vehicle.....

 

Not a camper? Or are you talking 4x4?!

 

I'm talking about moving away from the prerunner crew...

 

How fancy are you thinking of getting?

 

TBD gotta start sourcing parts.
