Long Travel BS Thread

Just remove the return line lol.

 

My truck for sale....

 

Return line turns into a welded end stub.

 

If any body needs some 5/8" acorn lug nuts let me know. I didn't end up using them.

 

Just buy a metric plug.

 

One of those would be so useful so you don't run the master dry lol

 

I had a hell of a time trying to find one a few years back for a 10x1.0mm

 

I was thinking about doing an exo cage / chase rack on my DD / prerunner. I'm not a fan of interior cage with no helmets on a DD. With something like this I now have extra space for crap and provide extra protection for the family. While I realize this isn't the best cage it's also not a race car. Thoughts?

To do it right you reroute a line to the front driver side feed. Cut out the 3 way, and pull your whole proportioning system off the vehicle and the return. No need to cap anything.

 

Thanks A lot cleaner. I like the valve under the hood instead of under the bed.

 

oh that makes sense. so i cut the return line at the T and spot weld it shut?

 

I still put mine under the bed. More room. I don't get all that OE bs. What a bunch of garbage ass system.

 

Got a decent start finally to my cab cage. Lots more tubes to come.

 

How long do you project this taking you? (assuming you're just doing it on your free time around work and normal life)

 

I'm hoping only 3 months. I'm really slow at fab work and this being my first cage. As I get stuck I step away for just a bit and try to jump back into it once I figure things out. You are right this is just between my work schedule.

 

I've been wondering what the time frame would be on a cage built during "free time"..... I know that has a different meaning for everyone, but thanks for the estimation. Starting in the summer means less rain delays but higher temps when on the gun! Looking forward to see your progress!

 

My thought is I really like this idea. Especially as a dd since you won't have the down time while building. You could still drive it every day and maintain a stock interior. You definitely have this thought in my mind now since a cage at some point next year was already on my mind.

 

Guys that know what they are doing told me it takes about 120 hours for a cab cage. These A pillars took me about 20. I'll probably be half the speed of a guy that knows what he is doing.

 

looks super stressful taking the dash apart

 

I'm looking for a spring under kit.
