Never settle. In the long run you'll regret it and be miserable. Been there, done that!

I was personally happy with where we were but I guess some people can't leave well enough alone. It's all good tho thanks for the support :cheers:

Well good luck mate. Seems like the best for both, you need to be able to be yourself with your partner!

PS; you will also spend less money and work more, so a turbo doesn't have to be a matter of years anymore :D

I'm excited about working more and making more progress on personal goals. Turbo isn't in the picture until I get my other truck done, which requires my 4wheeler to be out of the shop, which requires some more material and parts (Need to fab better foot plates and something to support the snorkel). Might have it knocked out this weekend but after that, I think I have some customers lined up.

So use both hands

I have big hands but this is a lot of stuff to hold here.

Serious note, good luck on the future journey in the female (or male, if you're into that kinda thing:gayflag:) department.

No thanks I don't swing that way. (All jokes aside IDC what other people are into that's just not me)

Anybody got a blonde daughter or sister looking to visit my stabbin cabin;) :hump:

ahh i hear ya man, its rough out there. i'm holding out for a sugar mama

how the tuning goin?

Still lean on startup, haven't done a log in a week or so. Bought a new battery for my laptop and tried saving $20 on a Amazon knock off and it doesn't charge so gotta throw another $75 at it to get it up to tuning longevity standards lol.

Need to adjust shocks more as well. Did a HARD 1st gear launch and 1-2 shift last night and the rear felt like it was bouncing and very unsettled after the shift. I guess that means it needs more rebound?

this is 2wd right? if its not hurting anything let it squat (lower compression) will put more weight on the rear wheels launching, less chance itll spin. but you need to make sure your driveline angles stay good. mine i try to keep the front down, max out compression in the back, max out rebound in the front but it rides like shit

Drive shaft angle isn't great and the more it squats the worse it gets. Still have a buddy supposedly working on adjustable UCAs that are beefier than Spohn. Although he did just send the cam I gave him as trade back lol.

It's not that the truck squats to fast or too hard I know that's good for traction (which it has plenty of) plus it feels "moar faster" when it squats hard. It's that after the initial squat it sorta bounces a few times before setting down. It used to bounce really bad with the old shocks now its 80%better which makes me think it just needs some more of both C&R to stiffen it some. They are super low on both settings now.

Leave the compression where it's at and add to the rebound 3 or 4 clicks(to slow down returning to ride height)
