Long Travel BS Thread

Well, from what I could decipher from his paragraph/run on sentence of an ad, he put triple bypasses all around up front, (so 2? or 4?) Glass all around, painted. So I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say a brand new F150 Platinum, + Tim doing anything on his truck (I'm assuming he dropped it off at DMZ and Tim did everything to it) plus the wheels and tires. Yeah he prob spent close to 80k on the thing once its all said and done. But asking what he spent on it? Yeah that aint happening.

I especially love the "Brand new truck!" (21k miles on it)

 

Where I grew up these were meant as work trucks and to rust to pieces in 10 years - why someone would want to burn that kind of money on a truck, and a good 10% of that in amenity options

 

I stopped listening when he said ford f150

Quick GoPro POV clip of my run. Hopefully to help wash away the Ford taste in here, lol.

 

Looks good and sounds good too

 

So do your fenders flying up help soften the landing?

 

Like a bird stretching its wings. Only way to make up for no hydros or bypasses.

 

I’m just a fly on the wall as a Ford owner. Man I miss having a Tacoma.

 

But not an $80k luxo barge

 

Ummm...yeah just an 80k Raptor

 

Nope. Mine is a little over half the cost of that $80k luxe barge.

 

At least you got a truck with some balls for that much - that's the price of a pro.

 

She's speaking to you

 

Finished the roof to the cage.

 

When pvc doesn't cut it anymore...

 

Sellin' the ol lady. Priced high, but gotta start somewhere. Best offer, just needs a little love that I dont have the motivation for anymore

Looks good but is the roof rear diagonal on the dr c pillar notched only to the a pillar tube? It should be notched onto both tubes

 

I'm doing my knock sensors right now - two oem's for $85 on ebay:

Installing them as we speak - legit oem parts

 

Yes it is bud. I was trying to figure out how I was going to weld 360 around every tube. What I was thinking is that I would be able to weld the front a pillar together. Then slide the roof forward over what I welded. But for the back I cant do that. I have to slide the roof C pillar back to slide in the rear roof tubes. If I notched the roof to saddle both A tube and C pillar, I wouldn't be able to weld underneath the notch. So I decided to notch to the A pillar tube to be able to weld it all together. I am going to add a corner gusset from the diagonal roof tube to the c pillar to give it the streangth it needs. It won't be as pretty but it will be strong enough.

But if you have ideas to how I can weld under the notch at the A tube ,C pillar if i saddled the tube. I'm all ears. I would like to do it that way but this was the only way I thought of to do it.

 

I cant tell you how many threads I looked up on ebay oem sensors, if the o2 sensors dont fix it, Ill prob go with those. I still dont think its actually them though. I already replaced the harness, which crumbled when it saw daylight.
