Long Travel BS Thread

In the future buy a stick of hrew of the same size/thickness and bend/splice it together to get the a pillar bends where you want them. Then you can roll the other bends at the splices. Once you have it fitting as tight as you want, bend a copy of it out of dom. Just tack the splices so you can break them apart and roll them the other way to get your other a pillar dimensions. I've done this when building cages with tight tolerances where I don't want to waste any dom

 

Took a look and seriously considering if you can I'd like to see how you have the bender set up. Thanks

 

post a pic

Do you have access to nitrogen to refill the shock?

 

I have the same bender setup pretty much JD model 32 with a swag offroad hydro ram kit and a HF like 8 ton ram, made a stand on castors benders sits about 3-3.5 feet off the ground... works awesome

 

Filling shocks.... I've used argon in mine a few times lol

 

Thanks I'll look it up

 

I actually did just that. Little too much slop in the joints when I made the cheap test fit. I messed up where I needed to rotate the tube for the next bend. Over rotated by 10 degrees everything else was great. Beginner error. What I've learned from this cage was a good hands on experience.

 

I'm probably going to be over 4000. I'll weigh it at the local scale soon.


Yeah only race my truck might see is tuff trucks in Del Mar for the price of a fair ticket. I don't have a fuel cell either. I really just wanted some frame rigidity and hopefully in case I flop over I don't die.

 

Hell. My trucks heaviest when weighed for a long two week trip was 6300lbs

 

Photo bucket is down for maintenance, so y'all need to dust off your imaginations. Imagine my truck on the back of a tow truck. Someone else's headache now

 

Just upload straight to here

 

Sold or at someone elses shop ?

 

TT Motorsports is creating Longweiney 4x4

You da real MVP

 

Finally got around to updating my build page. If you guys are interested feel free to check it out! https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/devins-05-tundra-limited-lt-build.188287/page-24#post-13593654

 

Made a little center cap piece for my steering wheel this mornin, tires of lookin at the hole, and didn't want a horn button in there that doesn't work lol

 

Looks good!

 

Im trying to charge up some Kings but one of them is not extending. What could be the cause?

 

Could be one of the seals, when was their last rebuild?

 

Finally got to take her out to Ocotillo and have a little fun! Suspension worked better than expected but i dont have any front bump stops so i tried not to go to hard. Definitely makes it all worth it when your mobbing out there!
