Long Travel BS Thread

to someone that needs them yes, just sit on them until someone is looking

 

When caging a truck, welding gussets to the A pillar at the window, B pillar along the door jam, and wherever the cab wants to move.

What thickness of plate do people typically use? Thinking 1/8" I might get it dimple die depending on how long my length is if that makes a difference.

 

1/8 is fine, 99% of the time people put dimpe dies in pointless locatations, more about the bling then purpose

 

Thanks. I was curious if there was some rule of thumb size people typically go with. I see people running 1/8" all the way down to 18ga. I'm not too big of a fan of dimples just because how much hype they draw. If a dimple helps make a gusset in my application less likely to buckle or vibrate, then I'd like to use a few. I'm just trying to float my cab, because I chopped off my front body mounts.

 

I just did this and ended up making a hundred bucks or so. I wasn't going to ever use them and the other guy really needed em.

 

Im looking to trade my 10" fox coilovers for 8" if anyone is interested i do not like my trucks ride height in the front

 

are you running 10s in the stock coil bucket with the chaos kit?

 

yea

 

i ran 10" kings in my old 04 tacoma i had with a chaos kit.. i just had some shock towers made..

 

wow pic over load lol.. dont know how that happened

 

i was thinking about doing that but im out of money and i want to save up for a tundra axle swap

 

Might be able to get away with a spring change. Not sure about running 10s in the coil bucket tho

 

i was thinking that because i tried to adjust them but i could only go so hight before the spring was maxed out and loose but that was full droop with no straps

 

sweet just won a ebay auction for a URD CAI thats pretty much still new for only 140$ score!

 

You meam the guy on TW thats selling it lol

That was actually a good deal for it. I'd recommend the shield and filter cover though.

 

no a different one.. that dudes is still for sale on ebay for 185

 

Nice! Hopefully it comes with a CARB sticker. The smog guys tried giving me shit for having "ebay silicone couplers" on my injen intake (as well as the intake itself, because it was painted black). Luckily the guy who smogged it before was there and vetted that it was legit. AND supposedly any S/C'd ones are supposed to have stock intakes only. Commifornia is getting worse and worse, I need to find a mod friendly smog place.

 

I dont think the URD one is Carb legal? I kept my stock intake on the shelf along with my Y pipe for when Smog hits me

 

ya i dont think it is either.. def going to keep the stock parts for when the time comes.. looking into getting the doug throley pipe bomb y pipe soon as well..

 

i have an extra Carb sticker that came with a K&N i bought on craigslist not sure if it would work for the URD but you can have it
