Long Travel BS Thread

what would you get instead?

 

another one ha i got 130k on mine so 25k would be too good to pass up

 

im barely over 70k

 

Jordan I can see you getting 25k out of yours. You have a large instagram following and lots of good work done, wouldn't take too long to sell. If someone switched out the rear they would be good to go until a cage. Many people have 200,000 miles on their 2nd Gens and are still rolling.

 

are we talking money or miles?

 

Miles

 

whew ok. i was a little concerned there for a bit.

I'm gonna hit 30k this weekend.

 

Money lol miles my truck wouod be alot cooler with 130k invested haha

 

Last time i did a kbb on it they said like 13k stock would be the value

 

Yeah, Special_k's truck was 23k on KBB and he sold it for 30k.

Only issue would be that the person needs to not rely solely on bank financing as they may not lend up to that amount.

 

thats how i ended up selling my last one i posted it up for way more than i ever thought i would get and someone came and paid me that week best decesion i made i bought an 09 4x4 will all the goodies and 40k miles

 

Shit im gona list mine for 30k then why not if some idiot wants to pay it then let em haha

 

thats what i did. im not gonna lie i miss my truck but it was worth it in the long run

 

I have too many miles invested in my truck to sell it. LOL. It's now more of a game to see how many miles it will go.

 

miles are just a number. and thats just for parts. its really how long are YOU willing to go. parts can be replaced.

as we have seen many times now, people will swap out engines, transmissions, etc while their truck is "for sale"

 

This makes me want to see what I can get for mine. It still needs a lot of work but Id really love a 4x4. Probably wont get more than $13,500 though with all my miles (136,500).

 

I hate you guys. You guys have these amazing trucks that you want to part with. Why put so much time, dedication and money and just immediately turn around and sell? Enjoy it for a couple years at least. I've been so patient building my truck, the last thing I'd ever think about is selling.

 

Typical reasons for a quick sell are living outside ones means, ADHD and regret because they don't use the toy they spent so much money on.

 

Just curious if you guys had any input on this. My hydro bumps sit pretty close to the LCA at ride hight. Was thinking about possibly shortening them to 1.5" (they are 2" stroke now). I do hit bump sometimes when I go through large dips. It doesn't annoy me but I feel like they should only hit if I'm going pretty hard offroad. I tested this using the wiper O-ring on the bumpstop shaft.

 

I'm the last expert on here but that seems like quite a large LCA angle for you to be that close to your bump... does it cycle correctly?

Edit:
My bumps are a little farther away than that but my arms are much flatter.
