Builds Trail Tailor- Custom Armor Build plus a few things (4 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

One another note I ordered 6 and 8 gang accessories panels. These will be similar to the switch pro panels, for less. Also, got in 20 sets of TREDS look-a-like recovery boards. These are a 5 ton board. I've been using a set for almost 2 years without any issues, except deep scratches.

Anyone have Jason’s bumper with a winch and standard front springs (500#/in)? I’m curious how much compression I’m going to have, and if I need to add a set of front strut spacers to compensate or if there will be less than 3/4”

@TonyP did you have regular or heavy duty springs in front?

 

[TonyP]

"bullbar + winch" Tough Dog front coils

Don’t know what @TonyP used to have, but he currently has BP-51 coilovers like mine...so it’s a matter of setting preload rather than selecting a spring.

Well... in two days I'll have nothing besides blown 35 year old shocks in a haggard BMW. (unless I snag a cheap 80 series I have my eye on)

Still got your gears uninstalled?

Sorry, totally forgot to respond to your PM.
The potential buyer is taking them.

OK.
Man, I hope that buyer appreciates what a killer deal he’s getting...!

Me too. But he's a good dude. He's local and I'm pretty sure he's on Mud too. So the "TonyP 200" might live on in the 200 section of Mud. But I'll still post in here to give info and aggravate the hell out of people.

I think I tend to aggravate you pretty badly...so it’s all good if you get even...

Hope you’ll stick around, Tony.

I just wanna say thanks for the time you gave Jason with your 200 to develop these bumpers man. My addiction thanks you.

Nah, just about everyone aggravates me. I'm a misanthrope, I need to buy an island or something.

Well xoxo. Perhaps we'll still try to get another LCXC thing next year, join in. Granted, I may be in something the complete opposite of a 200.

Opposite... Hmm...
So:
Light-ish
Boxy
Low power
No Creature comforts
Old-school Beautiul

 

[TonyP]

Low power? Could have 210 ft lb, could have 1000 ft lb, depends on which mill I go with.

Creature comforts? All I need is air conditioning, booze and a map.

But to bring it back to the thread, it'll probably have Trail Tailor stuff.

Whenever I see xoxo I think of Ignacio’s letter to Incarnacion. Hug hug kiss kiss hug kiss. I’m game for some LCXC action. I may bring something different than the 200 too. Baja in my Tundra is a bucket list thing for me.

Sub tank from Ward...filled with booze...and a pump directed to cabin.

Man, you can’t talk about hugs and kisses and then tell Tony you are ready for action (lol).

 

[Markuson]

Jason,

Are you still stocking rear control arms?
