Glad we have the purest water in the country, Bull Run Watershed. I just run my drinking water through the filter in the fridge and it tastes great, just like spring water. Which it actually is. I do add the packets of Crystal Light for flavor but that’s it.

I didn't know Oregon had some of the purest water in the country, makes sense though. I'm tapped into the green swamp aquifer which is the heart of Florida's aquifer. No idea how it compares to else where though. Clean water is something we all take for granted.

I've been thinking about a water cooler, I have one at work and I only use one bottle all day and refill it. Need to do the same at home just lazy I suppose. My other excuse is my kitchen is small idk where I'd put one. So for now I'll be a POS I suppose.

this is what I do at work.

I thought Maine had the purest water in the country. Guess I was incorrect.

if you ever have a chance to try the "Poland Springs Evolve" water, it's excellent. When we're in Maine, we get the 40 rack of standard Poland spring, I also order it from amazon sometimes. The evolve is better though

We have green labels here in NJ.

Poland springs. My favorite water

I genuinely can't tell a difference in bottled water tastes with one exception, Aquafina tastes like garbage.

i taste a difference between purified/drinking(i prefer) and spring water....zephyrhills to me is shit

zephyrills sucks. I think it's arrowhead or something along those lines that is other "Florida" brand. It's better, but still not great.

I'm not a water connoisseur or anything, just notice big differences throughout our travels.

I look up and open my mouth when it rains. It's like a slow pressure washer for the crayon stains on my teeth.

My favorite too, but I just tried Smart Water. Pretty damn good!

Wonder how the Polish feel bout that ?!

Your right it's probably racist and should be cancelled!!! Jk I'm sick of the cancel culture crap, I want Aunt Jemima back!

With great rear suspension travel comes great yoke eating the evap bracket problems. Actually the bracket is clear but the crossmember isn't and now they hit during 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear romping.

Hey @randeez what settings should I put the shocks to for minimal squat? Lots of compression in the rear and lots of rebound in the front?

If that doesn't work or rides poorly longer bump stops it is. Or adjustable UCAs which I've been waiting over a year for from mi amigo.

Terrible pics but basically theres nothing I can grind or move unless I chop the entire crossmember out which ain't happening and then the yoke would probably hit the floor anyway.

If it isn’t one thing.... dammit

Sounds like a card in the spokes but the card is metal. Just cranked a bunch more compression in the rear and rebound up front but still does it. Maybe I'll max both out and try that.

 

[randeez]

doubt shock settings are going to fix it, need to turn that pinion angle down

Yeah that's what I figured. Might order the dang spohn kit. Just don't want them to explode or fall apart.

User error?

I drive like an old lady but mine have held up

 

[Stonefort]

Does the free travel mod use any sort of bump stop? Maybe you could try limit straps in the front?

I was gonna ask if you had them, if they survive your grandma driving habits I guess I will probably be okay. I just like Kustomz stuff.

Yes, I have a 3" foam bump stop in the rear but like Randy said its not so much an uptravel problem as it is a pinion pointing up problem. Way back when I came to the conclusion the pinion angle is terrible and I have just been too lazy to do something about it. I do need limit straps front and rear to avoid shock damage but oh well lol.

Ah I see. I hope pinion angle is easily adjusted on our trucks? I was guessing that limit straps might help to keep the rear end from squatting too much by limiting some weight transfer. Might be able to rig something up temporarily to test
