I've had a few recent requests for an off road forum, and a lowering forum.

 

Could i get a quick yea or neigh from people please?

 

Thanks! ;)

To start with, how about just a modifying forum that would encompass both lifting, lowering, and any other large departure from stock?  This would give a good test as too how much of each type are here and which forum would be the most well recieved.

I Say Yeah Lets Have Both Fourms Because Not All Gmc And Chevy Owners Are Off Roaders.

 

Also It Would Be A Good Way To Get Some New Members In Here (Hopefully Ones Who Wont Cause Proplems).

To add to Jp's idea, how about a "suspension" forum, and there would be no bad feelings  :(

good idea.

I'd keep off road and lowering separate since they are unrelated.  If I had to vote today I'd say off road 1st and then a suspension forum 2nd.  jmo.

I'm not too much into either, but personally if I did one or the other it would be a lift and off-road.  But everyone has different tastes.  I think Jp's idea of the Mod forum is the best.

Someone here may get upset (or take offense) with me, but I think lowering a truck is utterly stupid.  Now don't get me wrong.  I've seen quite a few that are tastefully done but I'm just in general against it.

 

I think that most on this board in general have 4x4's, use the 4x4 system and use their trucks as actual work machines (which is what they were designed to be in the first place), as such a lift section or suspension forum would be a wiser choice.  So as such I voted for an "off-road" forum.

 

Bringing new members in that love lowriders will just turn this place into sporttruck.com and I want to get as far away from that as possible.  I let my subscription lapse to that magazine.  I still pissed they took over Chevy Truck magazine.   :angry:

What about--

 

1. TrailTech

2. Suspension

 

Sound good?

 

I know with spring right around the corner, the off road sercion might get some good use.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
