you are absolutely correct! It is the shock package that I'm running that makes all the difference. That is precisely the point! It is the components and other variable that make it perform, not merely being IFS. Listen, I'm not some die-hard solid axle guy that claims solid axles are the...
Dude, you need to relax. It's funny that your first response to me is that I should learn about suspension before questioning someone, and then in another comment you admit to "I actually don't care much about suspension, in the sense that I merely care about performance. And I don't rock...
Ok let's talk about this because it's the only thing actually relevant to the discussion. I know full well what droop is. In fact, the ONLY reason I have a *lift* on my cruiser is to fit a larger tire. If you were to drive any roads that had any larger than a 6" rock or tree on the road you...
LOL, you seem like a fun guy to hang out with. We can continue to one-up each other with pics of cars getting more are than the last. That is not the point. Although I have also owned a Mitsubishi Evo (which is the car in the thumbnail of that video) and have been in the air with it also. ;)...
@Pilat You need to get out a bit more I think and stop philosophizing about all the garbage you read somewhere on the internet. You got a lot of angst built up and some fresh air will probably do you good. Your arguments have many, many flaws in them with broad assumptions and disregard for a...
Look at the Bowfin Cruisers racks. This would be the one I would choose if I had a 100 Series and wanted to do what you describe. Lightweight and incredibly strong rack. Having a tent open the hood is no big deal, just need to rotate it to open that way. Only consideration really is the...
Congrats Carl Montoya on the sweet new acquisition! I really dig the blue color.
This post brings this thread back up in my notifications and I realize I haven't shared any update of the 1980 pickup I shared a couple posts ago (even though that was 3 years ago). Here's a more recent pic of...
@96Suburban Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll answer these questions then leave the thread to you and your truck.
My thoughts on gearing. While the 80 is totally acceptable with 35's on stock gears IMO, lower gears is definitely benefit. If you are looking for gearing that closely matches...
No, I do not have a compressor/supercharger. I have the hood scoop to aid in moving hot air out of the engine compartment to keep eng temps cooler. Will be installing additional vents as well. Air in through the scoop and out through the vents. Has helps significantly at reducing engine...
Another weekend project was installing the new rear drawers from Goose-Gear. I chose a basic two drawer 50/50 split setup. Goose-gear's design uses a wall to wall perfect fit base plate that bolts down using the factory holes for the third row seat and corner tie downs. The drawers came with...
Finished up the leather replacement on the second row over the weekend. The original leather was in bad shape. Got the leather from Lseat and chose to do black leather. Overall the new leather seems pretty good. Fitment was good (few places a bit on the loose side, but better than too tight)...
I drove an 80 with 35's and stock gears for 15 years prior to getting this 80. I drove this one for a year or so before regearing. I'm probably in the minority with my opinion but I don't think the 80 is bad at all on 35's with stock gears. That being said, 4.88's have been nice and I'm glad...
