Long Travel BS Thread

Short testing video I threw together of my buddies F150 before they headed up to Reno for display at the Rigid booth during tech of the HDRA El Dorado 500.

Blangs truck is so sick

 

Hello, New to the forms. I always come across this thread when I am googling certain questions that I am curious about. I am thinking doing long travel on my first gen.. I have the front all planned out (total chaos front kit with kings on order) .. But with the $ that I dropped on the front It has left me a little short on funds for the rear. My question to you all is, My fabricator said that we can retain the front spring hanger and just fab up the rear hanger in a certain position and it will save me $ and not make a difference in the suspension travel.. The front seem's sturdy enough to be able to take some abuse. But I am unaware if that is something I should do..

Any suggestions or any web page that could push me in the right direction would be wonderful, I am a quick learner.

Thanks!

-Mike

 

what leafs?

 

If the wife allows it I plan on getting a custom deaver pack

 

If you're getting a custom pack you may as well go with a totally custom setup. I'm not sure what you plan on spending on the rear, but don't half-ass it now if you plan to go all out later.
Also if you're moving the rear hanger you may as well move the front.
Just my 2 cents

 

I'll just leave this here

 

Armada engineering?

 

Yes, it's pretty cool I thought.

 

It is! twin turbo 2jz

 

1000HP Yota Motor, AWD...is there a better combination

 

What have others done to extend the fuel filler neck to retain use of the stock location? I'm sure it has been asked on here before, but can't seem to bring anything up.

Should be able to clamp on a longer section of hose for the main line? But what about the other two and what are there purpose? I'm assuming a vent, and then the tiny one must be some kind of sensor?

 

IIRC people are using 4 runner filler necks and they are mounting up with glass. Someone will chime in who has done it

 

this is what iv heard too, i actually need to do the same thing now that you mention it ha I ran into a buddy who had one with him a few weeks ago who was gona fix his so i got the part number off him, his at least was

77213-35370

 

Adam sent me this pic his buddy got from Pismo, pretty stoked on an action shot. This was a rad little jump Brian showed me the night before and we went back and hit it the next day.

 

did a few google searches and came up blank, anyone know of a company making solid motor mounts for a 2.7 or came across one at somepoint?

 

if you followed the issues, a few companies included DMZ have noted that it's not the motor mounts that are weak or breaking, it's the frame where the motor mounts are mounted that are caving in. Get a homie to plate the frame and you'll be fine. Otherwise, hit up DMZ

 

That's the neck I used on my 05 taco. Worked great.
