Long Travel BS Thread

I'm already set up to ARB my front since my rears already got one. Wishing I had known about these elockers but I'm still guessing you can't beat the ARBs.

 

Nothing wrong with ARBs at all. And considering the harrops are 1300 a pop. The ARBs can be cheaper depending on how its set it up.

Harrops stab at ARB is that air lines can be ripped out or broken or leak.

 

@Coot83 you going to have this much travel?

 

just weld the rear..

 

Well that welding would defeat the ARB that's already in there?



Maybe other guy.......

 

@TRACperformance

 

Dealers are marking up the new raptor to $96,000 hahaha.... who in the right mind is paying almost $100,000 for a ford truck can't wait to see how many of these things end up at repo auction "Financed, not built or bought"

 

Thats a lot for a Kraptor..

But i mean come on. New tacomas are hitting almost 50k. Pretty nuts.

 

I'm looking at 40k-ish this year/next for a used raptor. it is what it is.

 

I actually like raptors for the right price, but $96,000 is absurd lol thats exotic car price range. But hopefully the used prices on raptors will drop with the new ones coming out.

 

Finally had time to toss a quick Baja trip video together! No audio so I added some music, feel free to mute if its not your style.

 

yea it's stupid how much they want
We got ours for sticker price.

 

I bet you could build a pretty decent F150 for $100k.

 

Nope still couldn't make a Ford decent after 100K

 

lol guess I should have seen that coming - my friend had a Bronco II exactly like the one in the picture and that thing was pretty sweet since it was small enough to fit on snowmobile trails in the summer - we had some good times in that truck.



I like this one, I feel like if Herman Munster drove an LT truck this would be it:

 

I would drive one of the new Raptors in a heart beat for $50k. Even 60k. 13" in the front and 14" in the rear travel numbers with 3.0 Fox bypasses, that you know are absolutely dialed in for the vehicle by Fox, is going to handle great.

But $96k.... lol. Why not just take an FX4 off the lot, drop it off at SDHQ with that extra $30k you saved (and the $10k extra still in your pocket) and get a back a fully built truck...

 

That's where I was going with my post too lol - man you could have a nice ride with that much dough - that said I'm happy with my little truck. I am looking to sell it and buy a 4x4 of the same color and body style though - then I'll be the mini version of your truck lol.

 

But when the frame twists, it's covered under warranty right? Lol

 

Eh, tacos have just as many frame issues when abused. I've pushed motor mounts through my frame twice. Had to lift the engine, bend the mount back into position (frame broke on 3 sides both times, caved in but did not separate), re-weld, and gusset.

Plenty of trucks on here running heimed UCAs because they have bent coil buckets.

 

twist or rust to shit? wait, are we talking ford or toyota?
