Afternoon Qrûē

 

Roadmaster Active Suspension ordered.
I think I’m done now for this year. Except paying for powder coat when the bumpers arrive.

 

And then….

 

Crou

 

That’s certainly not the end of the list.
Just the end of big things for this year.

I’ve talked myself out of the RTT - don’t think it’s my style.

Air Compressor set up on board if I trip on some extra spending money. But I’ve got a Hybrid front bumper, light bar, winch, switch pros, and rear bumper all ordered (and now the RAS). And a bunch of wiring tweaks for all of that.

might have to add reverse lights into the rear bumper, and maybe ditch lights so the Switch Pro gets better utilized…

Also might relocate my tow/haul button.

yeah…plenty of other ideas, just no more really big ones

 

I’m pretty sure my rear end is going out, so gears are on the list, on the short list is new leafs and hangers for the rear end

 

Speaking of bacon

 

For sure. Colton will be getting more of my money…

on a side note, the BD “Ford Upfitter Harness” is the perfect inexpensive DIY wiring for the S8 light bar. It has the proper 3-wire plug and a decent length of extension pre-loomed for me to be able to wire up the S8 to the switch pros.

ok - I was going to post a snarky gif, but my fucking internet is being a bitch.
Fuck it - yes, you are right. This site will be the ruin of my retirement plans.

 

Curious what’s driving the need for the suspension mod?

 

I need some of this, where could a guy find them?

 

I saw it at Fred Meyer today

 

I’ve got the Westcott lift in the front, and Coachbuilder +2 shackles in the rear - which puts me back at dead level with no load.

I want to restore a little bit of rake and improve the handling when I’ve got some load in the back (I frequently am hauling lumber, topsoil, bark/wood chips, or gravel for home projects) and do it without extending the existing leaf geometry any more than I have (i.e. don’t want to switch to the CB+3).

The RAS should do all of that and give a little bit of rear anti-sway without actually liking the two sides together like a normal anti-sway does.

Eventually, I may go for a full replacement on the leafs. But right now that’s more $ and wait time than I can justify and for something that isn’t fully necessary for my needs

 

Started shopping for a car for my MinL

Me “Do you sell at MSRP or put a second sticker on the car?”
Dealer “No second sticker here. Just MSRP. Oh, and dealer add-ons”
Me “What are those”
Dealer “Paint protection, stain guard, free battery replacement plus a few other things. It adds about $5k to the price”
I SHIT YOU NOT HE SAID THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE!!!!
Me “Those are optional right? You can give one without what you and I both know are noting but profit fluff”
Dealer “Nope. Mandatory on every car”

I really need to move…

 

Just stupid.
What is she looking at?

 

Something like a Rav4 or CRV. I’ll be finding her a car elsewhere. Maybe your neck of the woods!

 

Come on over! The closest Toyota/Honda dealer to me is in Wenatchee, but they were running pretty slim last I checked.
Don't forget about Moses Lake and Yakima, there are several dealers there with good reputations. Cheap tax too
