Long Travel BS Thread

Damn bro why you thinking of flipping it?

The never satisfied phillip.

 

Because when something does go wrong, I want to know about it. Driving around with CEL and Tranny warning lights on as 'normal' is dangerous, IMO. YMMV

 

If you cant tell when something is wrong and need a light to tell you SMH...if you are building a truck to get abused offroad you should do it right (full floater).

 

And make it a manual

 

That’s why I popped my bulb out. No more light

 

Problem solved

 

Just do the electrical work to prevent the false warning lights. I don't know what I don't know about custom axles, but I tend to agree.

Of course.

 

Some shots of the recent changes to my taco. Took me 2.5 days to do start to finish. It was ALOT of work but not i'm looking forward to doing the front now!

DMZ Fab bedcage
DTF SUA Kit
Deaver E30 Springs
16" Triple Bypass 2.5 King

 

How does it articulate with the stock beddies?

 

I added a couple more photos of it flexing above. When flexing one side at a time with the forklift it cleared just fine (i trimmed about 1.25" off of my fenders earlier for the 35's). When we were in Moab last weekend I discovered that when both sides are tucked at the same time it puts my axle back farther and I hit my bushwackers so i had to do some hacking on the trail to get them to clear. I will need to do a little more on the new set of bushwhackers but that is it!

 

Did the cage get welded to the frame all the way?

 

yes it did. we chose not to drill and bolt it... way faster to weld it on.

 

Ah good stuff man, I was gonna say if you didn't cut it up I would be cautious...looks good!

 

I did the same with the legs on mine...I don't know if the bolts would ever come loose over time, but I didn't want to keep tabs on them especially once the frame gets boxed.

 

Anybody interested thinking of selling my four 15x8 Method Double Standards, with bfg at 35's on 20ish percent.

 

35s are so last week

 

Small tires only

 

So are 15's . lol

 

I like 15s. Cheap tires. Mega side wall ratio. win win.

 

when your camburg hubs just sit in the local hub for 2 fucking days while ups dicks around... would have been nice to go pick them up since they have been in the city since monday morning...
