Long Travel BS Thread

OHhhh shit, if you still have them the weekend after next i might be in town... ill message you then

 

Jordan just got the trail gear one i think...looks really nice.

 

I bought a BTF box and really liked the durability and design.

 

ruffstuff actually

 

i got the trail gear from poly. works perfect.

 

Another option is to relocate the battery behind the back seat. A guy on expedition portal did it, with dual batteries none the less, and it came out sweet.

You'd have to check your battery to see if it will fit, but it would be completely out of the elements and instead of taking up bed space would take up space hardly anyone uses.

Here's the link to the guy's build on expeditionportal.com:

Mounting batteries in the cab is generally frowned upon due to the fumes if they have a problem

 

Hmm, I never knew they emitted fumes. Good to know. That changes my plans.

The guy on expedition portal did comment that his batteries were like $450 a pop... maybe he bought some sort of sealed battery or something.

 

Double tap

Whered you get your wires from?

 

home depot

 

if home depot does have what your looking for, check out a local welding store and see if they have ground wire for a welder. you wont need more than a 25ft roll.

 

agm batteries (optima/odessy) are "sealed" but if they get overcharged they will vent fumes that are flammable and toxic. Small chance of it happening but you never know, plus it they came loose in a roll over they could cause some damage!

 

The de-pot has remnant wire a lot of time but yeah a welding shop can handle it no problemo

 

I was able to get 18" springs on and off with no compressor. Did you loosen the top collar all the way?

 

nice, is that something i should ask for at the back of the store or what?

 

so i took my truck out yesterday after i got it back with an engine hoop, holy moly does it make such a difference. the whole front of the truck feels solid as a rock now. needless to say, im more that stoked on the way it came out.

edit, here are a few pictures. couple more are in my build thread

 

Nice B! On my list for next mod after rear lt....

 

thanks man!! next thing im doing is the TC coil bucket gussets and then doing my cam tabs. after that the front should be pretty solid for the time being.
