Long Travel BS Thread

Has anyone bought parking passes for the Mint? What's the best spectator area?

 

This^, get one of the catalogs or look online at each seat model's spec's because there is a significant difference in size from model to model. I have the LG-1 ( daily driver ) model regular width which barely fits me but Landon's FX1's fit him fine and he is 7" taller than me. Some of their seats are clearly made for petite Asian women in Hondas with large wings on the trunk lid....

 

If I'm not confused on the spectator layout... I personally would say #3 or #4.

This "should" be spectator 1.

This is spectator 2 at the quarry, you can see everyone standing up above...

Spectator 3.

And this should be the spectator 4 area. (yes, this video isn't of the mint but it's the same exact section)

Granted, I don't know which direction they'll be running this year but that's basically the 4 areas...

 

Do many of y'all deal with McNeil? How are they on customer service? About to order a set of their fenders and have em shipped to Texas but have heard many horror stories of glass companies dealing with out of state customers.

 

I'm in az and all my glass is McNeil. I've bought 3 sets from then 2 front sets and a rear .
The second set of front were hand delivered to my house in az from Mark McNeil who always comes our here. I have only good things to say

 

if i ever need new glass im toally going with the mcneil 6" front glass

 

Does anyone want to buy 2.5 King 12" double bypass. Brand new. $1050. Was going to cantilever my truck but if I can sell these I have decided to change my plans

 

yessssssss lol camburg race kit and those fenders are my dream for the front. im jelly lol

 

My glassworks 6" are badass. Took a while and some polite follow up but got to Colorado eventually. Started getting frustrated with being seemingly avoided. Being patient and polite yet assertive goes a long way.

 

The key to getting glass out of state, is to go through a third party. That way they can put the pressure on for you if needed in person.

But Mcneil is a great company from what ive seen.

 

Gotcha. Thanks !

 

Unfortunately, to fit 37 I have to cut the ever living shit out of the front of the fenders. Kind of a bummer but nobody makes massive wheel arch fenders for our trucks.

 

im gonna end up cutting mine to get more up travel, have the bypasses coming in so ill strip everything and plan on taking an inch out of the fenders for my turdy fives. i wish i could run 37s lol maybe ill take my creepy crawlers off the 4runner and put them on for shits and giggles lol

 

Shit, the key to getting glass IN state is through a third party, unless you live near the company lol.

 

McNeil sent my glass a week or 2 after when then said they would. They shipped them in such a way that the glass rubbed each other, wore through gelcoat in some places. Otherwise they came and weren't cracked.

 

Well I called em today and they assured me it would only take 2.5 weeks to make and ship them.. Calling and placing an order tomorrow. First time dealing with a fiberglass order like this so hopefully they don't dick around.

 

Mcneil is the better one out of the group, I recently had them paint my bedsides but they didn't do a good job (scratches, overspray, drips) and mark has been very good about making things right. Been good about answering calls and texts. I picked my bedsides up from his house and they had rub spots in the gel coat from transportation from Mexico to his house so I think that is just the norm unfortunately
