I would suggest using this thread to come up with an opening post for a new thread and figure out what kind of links or Tips & Tricks you guys want to add that would be helpful to new offroaders.

You guys know more than anyone what questions you don't want to see asked over & over & over. Come up with something in here for an instructional / informational thread and I can move things later.

This thread is beyond cleaning up. Only 2 or 3 posts worth keeping in an informational thread.

I thought the 7 days would get your attentions.

 

Ok.....
Did you get my pm?
Ill see what kind of stuff i can get together....

 

I got a PM yesterday if thats the one you're talking about? oh & If you're talking to me?

 

Well we have the tech thread with a bunch of write ups and stuff in it.

I think, what size tire with what lift.....
wheel size to parts on the truck
Simple gear chart.

 

yes i was talking to you, and yes i THINK it was yesterday... idk... I didnt get a response from the last one i sent you so, i wasnt sure if you got it or what...

 

My newest four wheeler mag has a chart in it, im tryin to find it online...

Its for what size wheels will fit with how much lift...

 

el oh el
my bad...
But there is some good stuff in there too.

 

Sorry, I'll get back to you on that.

Right now I've been trying to get ready for a surprise In-Law visit tomorrow, My Uncle's 86th B-Day dinner here Friday and in my spare time getting my porch bar & stools sanded & painted. Need everything done before Saturday cause I have to prep & paint the hood & cowl on the Jeep to have her ready for Jeeptoberfest. I go to work for rest anymore.

 

its all good.
I know about the going to work for rest thing though.....
Thats never fun....

 

Well as I stated. Its kind of hard to ask a question and answer one, when five other "noobs" are doing the same.

People will get confused, excessive pages will pop up. It will be hard to find things.

And I think that EVERYONE should be treated equal. As Carlene said, everyone has to start somewhere. There is no reason a person new to four wheeling has to be FLAMED if they are not in a designated area. Some people can just learn to control the temper.

Aswell as controlling the temper, as long as people quit making conversations in threads with eachother most of the time a thread can pop up, and be ended without a big problem.

But the lift/tire size thing kind of varies for all vehicles. My truck can fit my 37's with no lift. And for most vehicles that does not work out.

 

37"s with no lift? are you talking about your 350.....

as for the thread hi-jackings thats why i made the general purpose thread..

 

Yup. That sucker fits and turns with no lift.

Just a stock 88' F-350. As far as I know. My dad owned it for 5 years or so before he gave it to me last Feburuary.. and the work began.

But as far as I know its stock. Neither he or I lifted it. And it had a utility box.

If it is lifted, it was ages ago.

 

It was lifted.
Highboys clear 35"s with no lift, but not 37"s and they sit higher than stock 350's do....

 

I no longer have the stock F-350 bumper.

It does not LOOK like it has a lift. If so it was a long time ago. :P

I hit a small stump and smashed my bumper in so now I have a heavy duty winch bumper that is raised up and in front of the truck. It doesn't tuck back under the body anymore.

So besides that extra clearence it doesnt have any major modifications.

It might have a body lift? I noticed a helluva lot of room between the transmission and body. :P


Can someone take this post off of "READ FIRST"
