NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah it was

 

Better than our last attempt?

How's the links?

 

No because the two idiots in our group that were in front just spun the tires up every hill and dug them up badly. We could have made it further if it wasn't for that.

Links are good. Have to reset my pinion angle and hope that fixes my driveshaft issue. Either that or just a bad u joint so currently can't go over 25mph.
Other than that just cut the front fenders more for the up travel. Cut the driver side tonight and will do passenger side tomorrow

 

Fenders are for web wheelers. Take them shits off.

How far off is your pinion angle? I've always wondered how bad it can be before causing issues.

 

On my XJ i needed to add a shim to adjust the angle 6* I believe to get rid of a driveline vibration

 

Not like they are doing much since half my tire sticks out haha

I think its set to 2-4 degrees. You can just barely tell its not flat. But after doing some reading and talking to @utroda and @dakotasyota it looks like it needs to be flat since its just a one piece non CV driveshaft.

 

Single or double drive shaft? Its easy on mine, just lengthen or shorten the upper link.

 

Single? It only had one joint in it, so two sections with a joint about a foot from one end

 

Sounds like a double. Single is 2 u joints on either end and tubing in between, double is u joints on either end with a carrier bearing in between like the tacoma rears

$500 ARB bumber for a 2nd gen

 

I had a decent amount of alcohol on board!

If it was the 2012 to 2015, I would have been pissed. I was just there 8 hours ago!

 

Damn, wouldnt it be nice if we could get GX bumpers for $500?

 

I feel like I've finally made it in life: I got made fun of by @mallsquatter on IG. I guess I better start selling stickers and patches now to monitize the exposure.

But seriously though, I can't tell if he's making fun of me for saying that maneuver was sketchy, or if he actually though I was being unsafe...

 

He was making fun of you for saying it was sketchy. Because from his couch, with a Clamato in his hand, it looks like you're barely leaning at all.

 

More like on the can with a clamato in his hand

 

All fun and games til someone gets roasted on IG. Meh.

 

My favorite post was when they were making fun of the Rebelle Rally.

All of those chicks would lose those guys offroad.

 

why'd he make the account private, doesn't look like he lets anyone follow the account anymore.

 

Sounds like you're blocked.

 

I never posted anything. Just enjoyed the lulz.
