DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Dayummmmm golf ball to baseball sized hail possible. Good luck everyone.

 

Going to try and install it this weekend after I work on the trailer.





Also went by Aldi last night after work and found these on sale for $4.99 a piece. Wall mountable and can put dividers in every drawer, super sturdy and look and feel a lot better built than the ones at Harbor Freight.

 

I love how my truck doesn’t fit in the garage... but it fits in the garages of the houses being built down the street

 

Good luck everyone, any idea on when it is estimated to hit?

Hopefully after I get home and into the carport from the gym, either that or I will be staying in the parking garage at work for a while...

 

Sometime this evening after 4

 

I know this has been asked before, but does anyone locally rebuild coilovers? I stopped by Texas Motorworx in Dallas this afternoon and don't think I want to give them my business. Granted they're a Ford Raptor shop, but it's just suspension. The guy told me "theoretically" he could but doesn't want to touch my truck. He said they would have to be off the truck and dropped off. He asked for the back story on them and I told him I bought used and they were supposedly rebuilt about 30k miles ago. He said that I should get 60k out of them so he's not even sure he wants to do it now. If he did, it would be about $400. Sounds too expensive and doesn't seem like I'd have a good experience with them if everything doesn't go smoothly.

 

Check out Xclusive Truck Customs in Celina

 

may want to get @Gingerbeard Man take on them. Somebody in Celina fucked his shit up

 

Must have been someone else Xclusive has always only done good work for me at a great price and if they made a mistake they would make it right

 

Email this guy. He does mostly Fox stuff but he seems to be a good dude and can probably at least point you in the right direction.

You received a cheaper quote then me. I had them line-x my rear bumper last year and when I was picking it up, I asked how much he would charge to rebuild my front set in the future and he said about $700. They did a great job on my bumper and didn’t take them long though.

 

I don’t know who it was specifically. He had some work done somewhere in Celina and was not happy.

Doesn’t tandem do shock rebuilds?

 

$400 was just for the fronts and only if no other parts needed to be replaced. Maybe that's the market rate, but makes me think I might just be better off buying a new, fresh set.

 

Call Smith offroad. He just rebuilt a set of coilovers

 

He replied to my post on the TTR FB group, so I certainly will call him next. His shop is close to me, too.

 

The $700 was just for the front with me as well, as I had Bilsteins in the rear at that time.

 

Holy cow! Yep, I think that takes TX Motorworx out of the running. This is one of those situations that makes me remember why I do all my own work. Too many shops out there with a shitty "better than you" attitude until you whip out the credit card and spend thousands with them. So far, Tandem is about the only shop I didn't get that same impression from. I'm going to stop by Smith Offroad today or tomorrow and we'll see what they can do for me.

 

Yeah fuck those guys. If you want a half-assed CMC and fucked up wheels. The owner told me to get fucked.

 

Nope. It was who you think it was. The owner told me to get fucked. He wasn’t fixing my wheels. He 100% fucked them up.
