I want my suspension... stock is boring

 

i saw a bunch of rollovers this weekend on IG. No bueno

 

I bet your butthole was real tight

 

I need this. My fridge stayed grounded all weekend because it was just in the back seat and there wasn't too much bouncing this weekend but I did get my drawers to move on me (only held with two turn buckles as of now).

Fridge relocation to on the drawers with a slide is definitely happening soon.

What'd you end up picking?

 

Haven’t bought yet, but going with ADS. Best deal for what I want and I’m intrigued by all the awesome reviews.

Front: TC UCAs with 2.5” extended travel coil overs (650Lbs)

Rear: Dakars, relentless U bolt flip, bamf shock relocation, 2.125” smooth bodies, 2.125 air bumps (maybe).

Started looking into the archive garage hammer hangers for the Dakar’s, but not sure

Gonna be fun once it’s done

 

I need a slide just cause I won't have room to open the fridge on top of the drawers.

Right now, the fridge fits perfectly beween the back of the front seats and the drawers so that's its place for the time being. I'm also a little hesitant about throwing it on the drawers cause I already have a lot of ass end weight

 

I still haven't taken measurements for how tall the fridge would be on top of the drawers but my drawer platform is only 8.5" tall so I think it'll still be manageable (for me at 6'4", who cares about everyone else). I wouldn't do an angled one though. I like the idea of them but I don't like them

 

You can get the absurdly expensive goose gear one that brings it down level

 

I really like the idea of two drawers on top of each other and if I didn't keep surfboards in my vehicle, I'd have done this.

 

New wheels and tires for the GTI go on Thursday. My 2 interns start today at work, but I'm still in Hawaii. So I get to train them via Skype.

In talks with JTA metal fab to build me a front bumper too, just hoping I don't end up like all those guys complaining about his work

 

What happened to you building one?

 

So much time and effort. I'm sure I'll add some tweaks to whatever I have built, but it's just more time productive to drop it off with a pile of cash.

 

He has interns now. Once you get interns you don't do piddly tasks like building bumpers.

 

Not wrong. I think they might be smarter than I am











But this is basically what I'm thinking. New frame rails up to the body mount to delete the 2" puck. Then Winch plate. Frame horns up to a 20" Baja Designs bar. Tube around the rest.



These are the two pics I sent for inspiration.

cheaper to just buy mine

 

What does Kyle drive?
Is it the kid that lives up there?

 

Should I do Miller Jeep Trail on Saturday just to use 4wd

 

Just to knock it out again? Nahhhh. Mines been fucked for a while. I have all the camber in front from the lack of weight

 

I think as long as you don’t go for an internal cage from him you should be straight. Up till you posted, I thought JTA was MIA?
