NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Those guys definitely talk that Alucab up. I think it's a totally awesome product too. Just, (wording it gently) not aesthetically pleasing. Oh, and this is just so no assholes can steal that Tentipi out of the back of my truck.

 

So true. They do make cool shit thought, just a little ugly.

 

Saw the weather forecast for this weekend and decided to take a brief overnight camping trip near Snoqualmie to get out and test some gear/new drawers. Ride up was pretty rocky and rutty but the truck performed great.

 

Looks so nice!! Thanks for the invite! I'm down to meet up or roll out with anyone tomorrow

 

My girlfriend and I do Home Chef and it delivers with big sealed ice packs that are a water based gel that freezes. I just refreeze those and use a few in my RTIC 45 and on a 6 day trip down the Oregon coast earlier this year with 3 of those they were still more than half frozen when we got back.

 

Joined the SCS club today. 17x9 -38 offset, gunmetal. I need a body mount chop so if anybody wants to help with that, would be legit.

 

I will do it for you, but it will cost you one set of SCS rims. Looks good!

 

Yeah I'm super jelly. They definitely didn't have -38 offset when I was looking for new wheels

 

Looks good. Damn good, in fact. Although, I think that offset rubs worse.

 

Its definitely going to take a good amount of cutting to make it not rub, but I couldn't resist the deeper lip on these things. So happy with how the look.

 

What's your backspace?

 

3.50

 

Thought so. I like the deep dish look but I hate it when the burner keep rubbin

 

same

 

I mean rubber keep burnin.... Or something like that

 

Damn son you got the big boizzz.

What size tires did you go with?

 

I'll trade you. I got some 16x9 4.5bs and 0 offset f5's. Will solve that rubbing issue.

 

Just a 285/70. Debated 285/75 to be 34" but when I add a rear bumper and skids later I would have to re-gear. I'm happy with it....for now. Hopefully I don't de-bead when aired down. 9" is the max width for this size tire.

 

Those are actually the wheels my retarded friend took off when he got the different offset, and started rubbing.

 

I have the F5s in 3.5in BS with 295/75R16 KO2s and the rubbing is no joke even with my cab mount chopped. I'm hoping I can find an alignment shop that has half clue what they are doing and can get the caster angle high enough that the rubbing is minimal but if not I might have to consider changing wheels and/or going a hair smaller on the tire. I have no clue how anyone can get a 35" in there without frame rub.
