Long Travel BS Thread

Beauty and the beast eh? Dang. What did you do to the brz's engine? I'm sure you've seen the Crawford frs - some goals for me. Realistically probably half the cost of that supercharger will ever be spent on total mods for the car (that I don't even own yet) lol.

 

Last post about this (probably lol): got build pages for both of them?

 

That brz would be ruined within a few blocks driving through SF at that height


But I guess that's what the bags are for

 

Yep keep you from having to slant across every embankment / hill - in LA there's some potholes that make the frost heaved roads where I grew up in the in the northeast look like a racetrack. I'd consider something along the same lines for down here too...

 

I would be up for the challenge if I liked the stock look. I would eventually get glass even if I didn't LT the rear. I think you did a killer job on yours that matches up well. The second gen fenders to me look nothing like the glass fenders so to me I don't want the mismatch either. Anyway thanks everyone for the info. I think I will glass first and collect my LT stuff as I don't want to bump stuff that I bought it to be used for.

 

Sig pic is at the top of Imogene Pass in Colorado from last summer. 13114 ft elevation.

I'll regear again for the 35's if anything ever happens to this gearing, but don't think I'll ever actually be on 37's

 

Sorry it was just a guess for the angle looking at old pictures. I may be a Kibbetech truck owner/customer but my measurements regarding travel numbers are correct.

 

Does anyone have leftover arp studs from a pack that they want to sell before I order the whole pack? I only need 2 (the is350 or whatever ones that are for the 2nd gens)

 

Just watched a short documentary about the resurrection of the Mint 400 and learned that the original course went from Las Vegas to Tahoe. Does anyone know the route that the course took? I was thinking it would be an awesome trip to go on eventually - tons of things to see along the way and while the terrain is probably gnarly in spots, it would have to be reasonably navigable considering the technology they had back when it started was nothing close to the average lt truck on tw. Thanks!



Later I was cruising and happened to find this truck on DMZ's website, but without any info on it. Does anyone know who it belonged to? I send them (him) an email about it so if no one knows, I'll hopefully find out from him.

 

Look for Vegas to Reno maps to build a route.

Gracias - new to online maps for offroading - this will be fun

 

It still doesn't add up...especially on a short bed. Do you have photos?

 

Can anyone here help me out?

Currently my truck sits above the midpoint in travel. I know this is a good thing from a performance point of view, but the alignment isnt so great.
Castor is 4.1* on the driver side and 3.8* on the passenger side, camber is basically zero.
I already swapped on some 500lbft coils and have no preload, except for the driver side so it sits even side to side.

Do i just need to give it more time to settle down or is there a different option?
The alignment cams are as far out as they can go to give negative camber, so realigning it probably wont solve this.

 

Not the answer you're probably looking for, but I have some bud built skids that'll add 100 ish lbs.

 

im so jealous of your truck with the softtopper! looks bad ass

 

Finished my spare tire carrier. All Tig welded by me but definitley need practice TIG welding on tubing cause thats a whole other monster from what im used too. Tips are welcome Shout out SDHQ for the Y strap!! and Tabs

 

Why did you cut those huge holes in the back??

 

16" shackles. más travel

 

Bad planning... I had to move my shackles forward after i built my bed cage so the only way to remove them to have room for the new ones was cutting holes. it sucks cause now its an eye sore
