Long Travel BS Thread

Those are great benders, what did you pay, $1500?

 

I got the bender and a Lincoln TIG 275 for $2500 or $3000 I don't remember exactly. Not really a good price comparison for anyone looking to buy, got them from a storage unit place in Nation City. Right place right time with cash in my pocket kind of deal.

 

What you're looking for is a intercom set up with headsets, rugged radios has some good deals on them

 

Not a bad deal, my local metal supply had them new back when I was looking for my bender, but the day I went to buy it they were all gone and never got any new ones in. I've always wanted a hydraulic/electric bender, but couldn't justify the cost on the retrofit. Next time my were junking a hydraulic pump setup at my work I'm gonna grab it and convert everything

 

Got trikes bender with jd and home made dies is what I am using now after using a manual model 3, a hydro model 3, and a rogue alpha bender. I like bending vertical so this is a cheaper way to do it.

 

Why? Solo does badass work lol most of the shops doing production kits for tacomas all do really clean work. The main difference is 2wd vs 4x4 or fab spindle vs stock spindle. I wouldn't hesitate to drop off a brand new truck and pay solo to do all the work on it from scratch if I had that kind of money, same with dtf, dmz, etc etc

 

yea they do badass work no doubt, but their first gen xlt kit just doesnt intrest me

 

I was just looking at those kinda looking for a universal one for my helmet on my dirtbike to convert into the truck when I'm mobbing the truck but be hands free the whole time not sure if that's possible or if it is will cost a fuck ton

 

If I had a garage I would swoop it back up. I miss that little truck. So rad

 

In case anyone wants a look at an @M C M Fab race kit...

 

Wish I could of picked it up when you sold it you gave him a sold deal on that thing! He's also replaced most of the drivetrain now so it should be solid. Both diffs and a trans can't be cheap lol

 

Also anyone know a good place to buy automotive paint already pre prep'd and everything ? Gonna try and spray my truck soon, figure even if it comes out shotty at least it's one color and not 3 lol

 

Someone was saying there is a place in kerny mesa that sells paint. If you in Temecula, Temecula valley paint sells the really high quality paint. Takes about a gallon of base and 2 gallons of clear.

 

Yup. Going into my porn folder.

 

ill be drooling all over it at tech and contingency at the mint dont worry lol

 

Wasn't your truck all color matched? Its the one with the ls swap right

 

Solo and trac use d44 hubs. For 4x4 they win hands down. Lsk/dirt designs and others use stock wheel bearings. Fuck that noise, I don't understand the "race kit" tag if your still using stock bearings and cv's that limit your travel to 13" on a good day

 

its a little different for the mcm kit, he used stock stuff so if it gets messed up then we can go anywhere local to get parts rather than having to source out parts.

just for ease on a 2wd

 

I can get wheel bearings/hubs for an 82 blazer(d44) anywhere too. Not hating just pointing that out.
