Hi, this is my first post.

Hi, this is my first post.

Welcome Scott! :xflipoff3

[WATRD]

It's nice to see you back from exile! Long time no chat :(

[HardTaco]

Thanks guys, nice to talk to you too.

[Murderman]

Welcome Scott.

[HardTaco]

Thanks John, what's going on?

Just got back from some time in the woods. I blew a relatively easy shot [150 yards from a rest] on a really, really nice buck last night, but got redemption this morning when I got two turkeys with a single shot!

What is this world coming to.....HardTaco is offering user advice, and Murderman is a mod? I have been reading the "sucks" thread. It sounds like you are trying to play nice, it will be good to have you back around.

Do you have the 'cruiser back rolling again? Last time we talked, it sounded like you had some work still ongoing.

The cruiser is "done", I wheeled it this past week.

Looks great Scott!

Is it just the pics, or do you pick up a relatively significant amount of forward travel when the front stuffs? Not that I would think it is a bad thing, except that it tends to steer one downhill; I run front shackles intentionally to help bump ledges [at least traction wise]....same deal, sorta.

It's probably "illusionary". I picked up 10" of WB though, so it looks a little funky in some pics, especially if the wheels are turned.

Say what? If you were talking about my post, it's not a test post. :confused:

Hey we got a our own little section on the Tacoma board COOL!!! I like it. Now everyone can tell me everthing I need to know about mine as I haven't really started in on it yet. Soon, if AJ and Chuck ever get their shop going.

You said: "Hi, this is my first post.'

So I thought it was your test post. Sorry.

I am curious to see what some of the specs are for this 40.

Thanks,
Kurt

My 40? If so, what do you want to know? :D

I am more or less asking so I can give a friend ideas. I sent him your pictures.

1. tire size?
2. lift amount?
3. How travel do your shocks have?

Do you have a write up on your suspension upgrades?

1. tire size? 36x13.50x17
2. lift amount? just a few inches, I like it low
3. How travel do your shocks have? 14"

Do you have a write up on your suspension upgrades? No write up, but pics here http://whaleyent.com/ipw-web/gallery/album06

[Murderman]

I like it low[/b]

I sure hope that doesn't mean that you are on the "low down".....

Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

The FJ40 looks great. Was that dog pissing on your tire in photo #26? LOL
