Long Travel BS Thread

Came out of my truck today to find my spare tires missing and one of my shocks stolen and the other one almost out. It looks like they brought a fucking angle grinder!!! In so pissed. If anyone sees a single fox 2.5 double bypass shock for sale I think I know where it came from. Or if anyone sees 2 fresh never touched dirt 33x12.5x15 ko2s those are mine too. Faaackkkk!!!!!!

 

shit that sucks man.

 

That sucks - I'd be super angry

 

Holy shit. You park on the street or in a driveway?

I am definitely angry. The definition of bummed out thats for sure.

My apartment complex is under construction so they had us all park in a lot away from where we usually park. Of course this happens when I move my truck and park there over night.

 

I'd be talking with the property management office in that case - it's not like you were parking in a different spot of your own accord. There's a possibility that wouldn't have happened if you had parked where you had been parking at your complex.

 

yep. they're supposed to provide a safe parking environment when under construction. They failed you as a tenant.

 

Garbage people.

 

It was definitely a grab and go type of job.

 

Just goes to show that if thieves want your shit, they're going to get your shit no matter how many locks or whatnot you put back there. When I was living in Tucson I had both my spares stolen one night, thankfully they stashed them in the alley behind the house and I found them before they could pick them up. After that I started locking them with a cable lock. I had the cable lock, just the cable lock, stolen 6 times that year.

 

Does the magic 52.5 only apply to Ext cab?
I’m looking at what it would take to convert my DC to SUA and I can’t seem to find a DCSB that clearly states using the 52.5 rule.

 

Being is though it was a grab and go did you check the surrounding area for a stashing spot like @tubbsisland mentioned? If they were on foot it would be hard to take off with 2 spares and a shock. Might not hurt to look around the area. Might get lucky.

 

Same frame between the two.
The 52.5 is more about spring performance.
It's just a good starting point that works.
I can't elaborate more right now.

 

That’s all I needed. Thanks dude.

 

This is what I got from another first gen guy on here:

Someone buy my spare parts so I can spend more money on my new truck..... LT KIT. esb j-arm kit...($1500 OBO) and my old trucks fenders 4-4.5" front and rear....($650 OBO)

 

Welp, finally happened to me. Swapping out all bolts on the truck next week (driveway til then). Pulling out of a parking spot at the grocery store, bout halfway out and heard a bang and front of the truck dropped. Called Camburg on the spot and got the bolt size, had a buddy pick one up for me from Home Depot, luckily keep all my tools and jacks in the truck, only had to sit in the lot for 2 hours, frozen food was ok by the time i got home .

Lower Arm Uniball bolt sheared.

 

oh fuckkk!
now that makes me feel so warm with the same kit. i dont daily it , but still, that sucks. What the bolt size for a spare?

 

Been there done that haha, hate those uniball adapters
