Last night at the meeting, Marc brought up their Saturday March Madness sale. The are offering our club $100 in gift cards if we can get 10 vehicles to show up, or a winch if we can get 20 vehicles to show up.
Is there any interest in trying to make these objectives to get the club stuff for the raffle? They are supposed to have a sale this day as well for those of you who couldn't make the meeting.

Offline I tried, but as usual, those morons don't know what they are talking about and they don't stock anything they advertise. Plus, I can buy the same products on the internet for a lot less than their sale price. Example, Amsteel 3/8 winch line from 4wheel parts is regular 329.00, today’s sale was 293.00...If I buy the line straight from Amsteel off their web site, it is 253.00(no tax) and 13.00 shipping..$266.00 shipped to my door....Almost 50.00 cheaper than 4wheel parts sale price!!!!
Their counter person wanted to argue with me that there is no way you can run a 24 inch shock on a Jeep with 40 inch tires 🙄 I guess if it doesn’t tell them that you can do it in their parts catalog then it isn't possible 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
I know they have a couple guys their that know their stuff and they should work the counter, not the book worms...

Offline Didn't show up, but did call in and save $1000 today. Also, Marc said he'd "count" me as being there.
Unfortunately, the final count was 7 vehicles. Not enough for the gift cards this year.
I know Joe was there. Larry was there. I think Josh was there.

Offline I ended up buying my winch rope on line too. Saved about $40.00 over the sales price.
But, 4Wheel Parts did me right on my wheels, so I guess it's just a matter of smart shopping.

Offline What kind of rope did you end up buying? I bought the Amsteel 3/8's in 100 foot.

What does a "24 inch shock" mean? Is that compressed length?

Offline 24 is the extended length.....The guy kept telling me that the only way you can run a 40 inch tire on a TJ is with 6 to 8 inches of lift and I would need a 33 inch shock for the correct travel..He couldn't grasp that I only have 5 1/2 down travel and 5 1/2 up on my rear 24 inch shocks..He insisted that there was no way I could get enough flex from that 🙄 They would roll over and die if they knew John was only running an 18 inch shock on the rear of his jeep 
Maybe I'm smokin crack, but it sure doesnt look like a 24 inch shock is limiting my rear flex in this picture

Offline I couldn't figure out the 24" shock part becuase my rears are 31" extended. I think it comes down to geometry.

Offline Cut off wheels? What kind of work is that! I'm not sure if Rob has a Plasma cutter.
If he doesn't, I do if you'd rather use a plasma than the wheel approach...
Let me know, but it will be a couple weeks. I'm getting it out to do some cutting on my black jeep.

Offline Mine varies but I'll cut about 1.5" from the back and about 3" from the front. The nice thing is that I don't need to bump stop anything to limit my uptravel. I will get full uptravel. I probably won't get that if I ran 40's.

Offline There is no such thing as full up travel. Up travel is determined by your suspension set up and shock length. All bump stops are really designed for is to stop the shock from bottoming out and getting damage....I have full up travel with mine too. My shock is stopped by the bump stop about 1/8 of an inch from full compression.
