yah, ill need 22 of those...

 

[Forceful Llama]

Hah. 4 for steering alone.

 

[cencal96xj]

yo dawg we heard you like shocks, so we put shocks on your shocks so you can absorb shock while you absorb shock haha

I wish somebody told him that 22 white bodies = 4 bilsteins

350 bored to 383, dana lockers and 44's on 1/2 ton axles, its full of win

 

[blondejoncherokee]

it would be funny to call and ask to trade a blzer with 38 shocks and a 350 bored out to over 400 just to mess with the guy. I bet every time he has a handling/steering issue, he just adds one more steering stabilizer and one mroe shock to each corner and considers it good for now.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

if he has 3 shocks on each corner, and 4 stabilizers, totaling 16 shocks, then what does he do with the other 6 shocks ? cant see the rear in the pic, so maybe he has like 6 shocks on each corner in the rear? Also 22 shocks * 45$ each each plus tax = 1070$. He definitely could have afforded to buy better shocks . Im pretty sure billy 7100s are in the range of 140-200$ each online.

He could be bad at math or has a few tucked under his seat for an extra smooooth ride.

The question remains... why?

Perhaps there are shocks on the gas door.

Now as Kelly can attest, I am not a devotee of lifts, but do have an appreciation for well composed lift package for trail use, however, I do not think the sky is the limit on this one. There is a reason that it was hardly driven. Keeping it within a 12' wide lane on 99 or 5 must be akin to hearding kittens onto a open flatbed. Not your soccer mom's daily driver.

I will give the man great credit for pushing the envelope and supporting the adage; "if one is good, three must be exponentially better.

Man, that is a lot of brackets and weldments.

It looks like a rig from the 80's way behind the times and this idiot just doesn't have a clue.

Back then the cool thing to do was just this, shocks sucked so they had to triple up to increase vavling, and that turned into this madness that turned it into a fad. I bet this rig was built back then with all those mounts and he just freshened it up.

I'd take the yellow blazer in his add.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

I dunno man, ive seen rigs in stockton before that had what liked like over 8-10 shocks in the rear lined up all across the back axle. The truck looked at least a 99 model year or newer. I think there is a certain niche out there that thinks that many shocks is actually cool looking. it looked like they chromed out a bunch of cheap white doesctech 3000s.

Same guys that buy the truck nutz.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

the same guys that always buy nitto mud grapplers with those rims that look like they are made by rockstar energy drinks

Yo bro, you know what your rig really needs , is some grapplers bro. And some rims.

I swear to god if the company that makes rockstar energy drinks started making rims and tires ...


this is interesting:

thats like over 2000$ in tire right there

 

[Mike1331]

stock axles and 42's? Must be alan's buddy.


Those newer Disco trucks are the same shit but just of a newer era. I was just pointing out the inception to the trend, back when shock tech was crap racers had to tripple up, then people thought they were cool when they did the same to they're street queens. Shock tech advanced but idiot wanna be wheelers did not.
That blazer most definatley looks like a freshened up 80's by product to me.

 

[knucklehead 61]

i like the pic of him sucking off a big gulp while laid out on the tire, it adds credibility to the build.
i be he had a mullet at one time or another.

 

[Johnnie Walker]

That yellow one looks so much better than that pile o junk.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

the rig on 42s guy said he had stock axles. I emailed him.
