San Diego BS Thread.

He is probably the least capable person on this forum of taking care of himself, let alone anyone else...

 

Multiple pages of a GIF-off, lol. Its raining GIFs, it also seems to be raining water too!! Lots of it.
Anybody down for for some Kayaking? Ive got a class 2 rapid flowing across my driveway again! Lol.
Looks Im going to need to dig up my culverts and add in some larger ones, Dangit. Ill get this water thing figured out eventually...maybe.

 

Then my buddy Miguel is in good hands

 

Hey Shane, do you ever come across any triple bypass 12" stroke 2.5s? Looking for a set of 4, or even go 14" stroke if I can find them.
I'm starting to tear my off-road rig apart so I can finally work on my own stuff when I have time and chip away at it.
I'm trying to get it set up so I can go play on the dirt again!! Thanks dude!

 

Good seeing you again David! you came just in time, today the water is really flowing like the Colorado river!

 

I see them from time to time. I am always browsing the used market. I’ll keep an eye out. Do you have a brand or layout preference?

 

Not really too picky, Im going to be making all new mounts so I can make just about anything fit with enough work. They are going on my 97 Jeep TJ, pretty much all custom mounts anyway since it currently has 2.0 Fox 12" stroke remote resi, and 2.0 hydro bumps.
Im thinking I can get away with keeping the current coilovers for now although a 2.5 would be much better suited for it, figured I would add the bypasses and see if that is going to be enough. Im sure Ill eventually change the coilovers to 2.5s at some point down the road so if you come across those I may be interested.
I might have to start doing midget porn to afford the upgrades
Hope all has been well with you and your girl my friend!

 

You'll probably never see the truck, I daily the BluBaru.

 

You guys can bond over your hatches

 

Likely wouldn’t have have to go with a 2.5” C/O if you run a bypass. The bypass will provide the dampening you need. I’ll keep an eye out

 

Holy beezeesus!

 

So, time to build the Hoover Dam?

 

Just wanted to show off the final product. Love it!

glad you realized it wasn’t grey. you are now awakened Miguel

 

Agreed, the 2.0s are actually working well and I drove it pretty hard until the rear end failed, the previous owner didn't loctite the ring gear bolts and they slowly backed out! So you can imagine the carnage, lol. With bypasses it would be a nice setup. I am getting a DIY kit to make all my own links and build the mounts so they are super low pro and won't hang up on anything and have an 8.8 rear to swap in once I get some parts gathered up.
Sweet bud I appreciate that, Im going to be checking race desert and pirate ,race junk, etc....so the more eyeballs looking the better! I appreciate that. Haven't had my rig working pretty much since I moved 2.5 years ago! Too long not to be able to go out and play with everyone!!

Anybody want to come Swimming? Might be a little cold... Yeah as I've said before being the very last hill at the bottom of the ENTIRE valley it gets pretty crazy here when we get a lot of rain in a short time.
Now Im going to have to dig those tubes out and build a bridge, I was hoping they would do the trick but they dont quite fit the bill. I could add more tubes but they just tend to get clogged from debris coming down the rapids...but once I build a bridge I should be good to go!

Might have to make a TW party and ask for some help from my TW family since I dont have any living relatives, lol. WOuld be a good excuse to see you all again!! Hope you guys and gals have an awesome weekend!

 

Just let us know when.

 

Thanks brother! TW members have always been really good to me. Its great to have so many good people on this forum. Cant thank everyone enough for all the help I have received in the past when I needed something.
You guys are awesome!

 

Hi all - I have sliders with some rust from my 2nd gen that I need cleaned up and re-powder coated. Does any one have a recommendation on where to go local in San Diego that won’t cost me a ton?

 

I used Quality Powder Coating in Chula Vista with good results and plan to use them again soon

 

Anocote on Miramar rd. Used them a few times. Good service and affordable.
