Hi
You might remember me from 'hey, that's that dude who's shock exploded on TMR' and 'hey, are you the guy who had to limp to Baker with a brick as your suspension?'
Yep.
Anyway, what have I done for my truck lately:
Well, my work neighbor, in the office next door, has an 06 Fronty. 2wd, but has the PRG lift kit, knows his way around his rig, etc.
We got to talking Fri afternoon after work, and he tells me that he happens to have 2in spacers sitting on stock shocks in his garage, and that I'm welcome to borrow them until I get my 2.5's.
Welp, I had to take him up on his offer, since a) my tires have been getting wayy to rubby with the fenders, and I don't want to kill those beauties too soon, and b) I'll be able to move past the 'I drive a Nissan Camaro' phase of ownership.
So, he calls Sat night and invites me over Sunday morning to make the swap.
While we're wrenching, he mentions about a dozen things he recently did to his truck, and how he wants to take it on a trail to see if it's worthy, etc.
Soooo...who am I to decline the offer to get dirty after the guy lent me his stuff?
Anyway, we did about 75% of North Main Divide trail off of Ortega Hwy, almost made it to the radio towers before turning around.
That trail is no joke; the first 50yds we encountered a spot where he had to max skinny pedal it over these ruts that swallowed his rig, and I had to drop it into 4Lo just to make it out w/out getting a running start (wasn't comfortable doing that since the cliff off the trail was in play)
Anyway, she's back to sitting right around where she was with the bilsteins; Garret, I promise, once I get those Rads, I'll wash your stock coils up good and get them back to you.
****One question I have for those 'in the know' regarding my dumb rims; well, I think one of the studs might be stripped. I couldn't get it to grip like the other 5 could on the driver side tire, so I'm currently lug-less on one stud.
Question is - is that an issue that needs to be looked at soon-ish?
Anyway, some pix of how she's sitting now, and the views from the trail on Sunday around noon
