re: 2023 Tacoma Lift Kit questions

Posted by THE HUNT on 4/24/24 at 11:07 am
yeah definitely do the research, i went with Dobinsons due to ih8mud forum some guys having OME start squeaking. OME and Dobinson are both Australian and they put those trucks though hell and back. I would stay away from icon, had two buddies have to send shocks in to get rebuilt before two years on...

Just did a dobinsons ims kit on my wife's suv, it rides better than stock. I would recommend doing the full set up with new UCA, springs and shocks. In the long run you wont regret it. Do it right the first time, i have learned the hard way....

I fish out of a skiff as well and have this one. I would like to add an external antenna but having the programmable mmsi number for an actual emergency is the best. I also carry a SPOT to go along with the vhf https://www.standardhorizon.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=85&encProdI...
After reading more, it seems to be a common occurrence for the seatbelt wire to break and cause the airbag to deactivate. ...
Ih8Mud forums are a great resource, from a limited search it could be the seat belt tension setting it off. I have a recall on a 2018 for the seatbelt tensioner. If the seatbelt is hard to go back in that may be the problem....
We paddled from Ponca to Pruitt landing and service through Buffalo Outdoor Center where they will park your car to the spot you want to get off of the river at. We brought our own canoes but recommend doing this trip, It is a blast and good fishing. If you have paddled before it is awesome when it ...
Yeah but all politicians are the same, there is a few people in top positions in that office who worked under Reed that are still there. Someone running the show is ok with it. ...

Minn Kota warranty

Afternoon, anyone have any luck with minn kota warranty. 24V terrova bought in August 22 was making a slight wine and went to inspect it, well the motor had quite a bit of water and sand in it. ...
Buy the lx570. We have a 2013 that has been in the shop twice. Once for a door lock and the other is the alternator went out, or you can buy the pos American made junk that will be worth nothing in 4 years. ...
lapware is a program we use for all licenses they should have the OUPV on it. the best part is that it makes up test for you and works down all problems if you get stuck on anything....

re: Quick father-son river trip

Posted by THE HUNT on 7/22/23 at 7:16 pm
I’m guessing a little less commercial traffic and cut off a few miles instead of the paddling the ditch to mobile. That’s determined to paddle n/b but a pretty awesome adventure. Have met some college kids from the northeast that built their own boat and sailed it all the way down for college credit...

Yeah I have met quite a few guys doing it. Had an instance on the upper Mississippi coming out of a lock and there was a canoe not listening to the radio was almost bad. Met this guy last year doing an impressive paddle. https://www.mark-ervin.com/about-1...

Looks like a good time, being on the river for work i have seen a lot of canoes recently. Please carry a handheld vhf on ch 13 just in case. ...
Yeah the 100 series was a lot easier. The 200 i couldnt figure it out without wanting to break something i pulled the radiator. The only one i could find with any amounts of info on IH8MUD was to pull the radiator....

That is awesome, you sure you didn't want to put a jet drive in it? Where are you building it at? ...
Two things on the maint should be though of are the starters and alternators. Just did the alternator on the lx and holy shite that was terrible. Not looking forward when the starter goes....
Built better, not necessarily they are both built like tanks. For a daily i would do the 200 from owning both. For road trips the 200/lx can get on the interstate and cruise at 90 if you feel like it and not feel a damn thing. The lx has an AHC suspension which is a hydraulic based system where you...
For 15,000 would definitely do it. ...
