Love your newest pic. Truck looks mean.RacerZX wrote:rragpaoa my friend! Good to hear from you, been a long time since our big group trip around Death Valley.
When the auto transfer case is locked in 4-hi, does that mean the AWD system is just working full-time, or is there a physical gear that engages to lock it for real? I hope and expect the latter...
I bet there's no MPG difference, I'll have to test that...
I saw your other thread on changing the gearing, very interesting, I'll think about doing that in due course...and I love your bumper and air locker setup, fantastic stuff. BTW how did you do the air pump for the locker?
I don't think anyone makes a beefier spring in the stock length. The OME medium & heavy duty are the same length, just different spring rates (heavy duty for a bumper/winch add-on, etc.), or so I've been told by ARB.RacerZX wrote:I'm not aware of anyone making OEM ride height higher-rate springs, for OME all I see is "medium" and "heavy" duty, not sure what that really means...
The few times I'm allowed into the garage, I still have a few inches of clearance, although not in the warmer months when I have the kayak racks up top.RacerZX wrote: Literally I have between .5 and 1" of clearance between my garage door and the roof of the truck after installing my 285s. It can't be any taller. With air-bags inflated it won't fit
Yep, same place, same time. I'm hoping to swing an extra day or two for the trip, but I just don't know yet. Since the Sierra have been bone dry this winter, it will be the perfect opportunity to get my good friend out to see Bodie. Otherwise, he would never see the place on his own. If rragpaoa can make it out for a day, maybe I'll bring down the Xterra and see how it handles, although the gf may not like that idea too much.You're doing your traditional spring break in DV eh? Awesome, wish we could come but we already have plans for the week.
Hey NVSteve! Yeah, I'm very interested in DV this spring. May do some hiking near Bishop after as well.NVSteve wrote: rragpaoa, long time my man! I'll be hitting DV again right after Easter this year, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have yet. We'll be making a day trip to Bodie, and then I'll probably be in DV for another 2 days. Let me know if you, Carl, or anyone else wants to possibly hook up again for a day in the dirt.
