New to the offroadtb.com forum. Seen some of James' videos on YouTube and seen the link to this site and knew It was a must to join. Really am looking into doing a ride with him and others in the next tecore, that is if my ride is fit for it by then. Still gotta install my 2" lift and get some nice tires. Nice to be a member of such awesome club. THANKS!

Gonna upload some pictures when I get to a computer. Stuck with my iPhone for now, and im gonna try to upload 1 pic but i doubt it will work with my phone but I will soon with computer!
2003 TB EXT LT 5.3v8 done a bunch of stuff to it already and am dying to do more!!! :excited:

Welcome! Less of a club... more of a cult!!!
All hail Roadie...
:bow down:

Since you say you want to make the next Tecore, I assume you live somewhere in the NE region?

Live in Owensboro, KY but I travel over to West Virginia all the time for Hatfield McCoy Trailfest for four wheeler riding. But I would love to drive a little further and have a good time with my TB!

I think alot of us use photobucket. Then get the direct link from PB and insert it into the [img] tags

Heck... You're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from me. You'll have to come on out to Dirty Turtle sometime, once you get trail-ready. Not quite there myself, but getting closer. And welcome to the site.

Roadie or JD probably have a fancy screenshot of how to do it.
Essentially you're going to upload them to PB, then what ever thread you want them on, you'll hit the "Post Reply" link.
Hit the "Img" button at the top of the reply box. That will give you this: [img]direct link here [img/] Then in between the two "img tags youll insert the direct link url that you copied from PB.

Clear as mud?

There are several ways to do it, this is just my preferred method. Plus it creates an online storage of my best pics incase my computer shits the bed.

I'm new to this as well, and I went with The LiftMeister 3" lift. Couldn't be happier. Easy to install. Only took about four hours on a Saturday. Just make sure your rear shocks are long enough. I ran into the problem where mine weren't. According to MarkMc, who has great customer service, all front struts are the same length. If your going to lift... Just a little advice... Lose the side-steps, and maybe even the grill-guard. As I've come to understand, in my short time here, we need all the ground clearance we can get. And those will only hamper that goal. I plan on actually removing my front bumper cover, once I'm ready to actually hit the trails. Then put it back on for the daily driving. That's the plan, anyway.

Awesome, and I was just debating on losing the steps! lol, I kinda decided I was going to but I think It'll look better and like you said... ground clearance.. But my front brush guard has got to stay! haha I'm in love with it havn't had it long either. But you said you have the 3".. I almost baught that one I got Marks 2" or 2.5"??? can't remember Its been in the back of my TB since it arrived awaiting the right day... I am almost wanting to go with the 3" I was afraid it was gonna put everything in a binde though in the steering department... But yeah Thanks for the info man, you got any pics on here of your TB with the lift installed, I might have to just break down and buy that kit also and try to sell off my 2".
