Tillamook State Forrest Browns Camp OCT 29th Meet!

Jason, got a member over at TTORA that may be interested. His username is losttoy. Can you put him down on the maybe list? Thanks!

 

Well i'm not going so who knows

 

Yeah but look at how many "Maybes"..and who knows what can happen from now until the 29th..some stuff might come up and the "going" list can downsize but yeah if all goes than that is a definate on the two groups.

 

Some ppl are only taking their civic's...

 

He's not my friend Just a member there who is interested

 

....say it ain't so!

 

I'm only a maybe because its a3 hour drive.. and waiting for test results next week for my lady. So its going to be a maybe for awhile.

 

I'm still not going

 

Bullshit! The snow is good stuff haha.

 

So I really want to go. But rt now I'm running completely stock except for sliders.

I just received all my lift (3" up front from bilsteins 5100 and eibach coil and for the rear a 2" aal) aside from my UCAs, which I have yet to order.

My question is, should I instal the lift minus the uca and run stock tires to the meet

OR leave the lift off till I get UCAs, so I only have to align once and take it all apart once, and get the 265/75 duratracs.

OR should I just pass on this meet, wait till I'm really ready?

Mind you I have ZERO, ZIP, NADA recovery gear...

 

Lift it and go

 

You'll be fine with a stock rig! Wait on the lift so you can save the cash for your alignment. Its really bad to drive around much after lifting the truck with your alignment all out of wack. Your putting stress in places that don't need stress and then taking it off road will only make it worse. Like stated before many of us (including myself) need to take it easy this time because we NEED our vehicles to take us to work/school etc DAILY! So you'll be fine man. Also you could talk to metal tech and see if they have LR UCA's in stock... I hear its only $400 for them there and that would be cheaper then getting them shipped from Fat Bobs... They are local!

 

There's always the option of lifting... Going with out the uca with the lift and with the tires! Haha. Just gotta push the budget a bit

 

Actually the alignment would be free... I have two alignments free from a local shop. so alignment wise I'd be fine.

Also I dint mention I could run the lift with the tires and alignment but without the UCAs. I know the alignment will be slightly off in this case

I haven't heard of metal tech though.. Do they have a website?

What I am afraid of is this whole needing diff drop kit or not thing and wether or not to get a carrier bearing drop or shims... I hear people saying yes and no to them beig beneficial! Ahhhh

Edit: I'll look to see if they do. Lol. I've been doing research for months a few searches could hurt. Lol

 

I did this. Got the lift and ran stock tires, then swapped to 285 and the UCAs. It's fine.

Diff drop, not needed.
Carrier bearing and shims? Case-by-case basis. Mine runs a bit rough around 60 with and without the carrier spacers, and I don't have the ability/know-how to adjust all the angles. about 20k on the lift and no big problems except the slight roughness, that I now can't tell unless I remember to listen for it.

For a few hundred miles or less, you are fine. You will need that time to determine what changes to make, anyway.

 

Hey Jason, losttoys name is Matt if you want to change it on the OP and also should maybe remind people about their off road permit!

 

i have a off road permit.

 

Updated fucker



And sorry ya'll aren't blessed enough to be from the Mother Land of Washington State!

 

Hopefully I can get this installed next weekend!

 

I'm jealous....
