Long Travel BS Thread

Yea you are telling me, I will have about 8k in the rear with parts and install. I have about that much in the front and still need to install my front bypasses.

 

It is bro, but to have 4wd is always worthy man unless sending it is the only game you play.

 

That’s where it all starts. First it’s a bed cage then a bumper. Before you know it you’ll cage the whole dam thing and link it. Better be ready.

 

Ain’t that the truth.

 

Leave until you get glass man. It looks clean and might help in the sale by keeping them on and leave that up to the next owner to decide if they want to remove them.

 

Okay so I know the answer is disassemble the leafs and check for travel but hoping maybe someone has done it already. Does anyone know what the longest shock is that allpro leafs can use if building a bed cage

 

Ladies and gentlemen we have light and at least 10 additional horse power. Can't wait to test these out!

 

I’d lose it. It seems structurally sound without it.

 

8”?

 

Jesus 1800 for 100 bucks in material

 

Not everyone can bend and weld

 

Makes sense to learn tho don’t it

 

Yes it does. I wish I had the patience to learn as I want a flat bed.

 

There is no way I would consider LT if I couldn't do 90 percent of the work myself. But that's just my wallet talking.

 

I'm lt and wish I could weld because I want to redo my rear. My friend that built it for me moved to Georgia

 

Well save up and buy a welder. Hell I use an Eastwood 175amp. Nothing great, and brand new cost 500 bucks and Eastwood has kill customer service. Thing works like a champ.

MIG welding is not THAT hard. Not call the steel hot glue gun for nothing..

Just do some reading and then start trying it and messing around. You'll get the hang of it in about 30 mins.

 

Yea man living in an apartment doesn't help the cause. Partly why I am hoping to bounce out west sooner than later so I can get a pad that has space for this sort of stuff.

 

I bought a used harbor freight welder for 50 bucks and each time I've tried I'm not sure if my garage isn't supplying the welder with enough power or if my hand is not steady/not slow enough but it always cuts out like I'm trying to start a new head. I've watched over 50 you tube videos but can't get the hang of it even tho I'm young my hands shake all the time

 

I'm in the process/deciding on my new rear setup and everyone is saying dmz has a far more suppierior kit then the tc kit, I don't know from experience just from reading.

 

is it 120v? are you using flux?

Also...its HF..probably a shit welder.

My advice:

Get something decent(Eastwood is a great starter:
Get one that runs 220v
Don't use Flux, use gas
