Long Travel BS Thread

33s migggghhhht fit....not sure tho bwahaha

 

Had 2nd place Prerunner at Dub Show in Houston last weekend (behind a truck that was obviously a better show truck but was only mid travel with 12 wides to fit their fiberglass fenders), then on the way home I drifted off the road and ended up going into a 4ft deep ditch... luckily the only damage was two wheels and tires. Didn't even knock my front end out of alignment. Took that as an opportunity to order Methods new MR106 beadlocks (the only 17x9 with -44 offset I know of) and BFGs new KM3. Cant wait to get the new setup in later this week

 

have pictures of this show truck?

 

There is one from the show in my last post, here is another one in my street lol

 

the one that beat you lol

 

The blue one in front. The silver one didn't get put in the prerunner class, but he told me he is getting fiberglass fenders and bedsides soon.

 

not my style but clean trucks! sad to see that prerunner is being classified as fiberglass fenders lol

 

Fiberglass fenders a tire carrier in the bed... classifiers totally disregarded the fact the I have 2x as much work and money in my suspension. Granted, if either of those trucks had barreled into the ditch I did, the outcome would be far different

 

it didnt. re-read it

 

Texas is weird.

 

Please make a new front bumper

 

Lol, just a suggestion...looks like a flat square board on the front of a nice truck

 

Uhhhhhh? no? lol. I did not make this one, and the shop that made did it how I told them to lolz.

 

What he is driving at is that your skid on the bumper is wayyyy too flat, if you stuff the front end with that bumper you are going to stop dead...and possibly be dead. A properly designed bumper takes that impact angle into the equation and the skid is at more a 45 degree angle so you will “ skid “ or skip off of the dirt

 

I have been told that more times than I can count. I am not going to rely on my 600 dollar bumper to push my truck over objects. If my 5500 dollar suspension won't do it, then I probably don't need to drive over it. I hit the biggest hole I have ever hit last weekend, and my bumper did not hit it. If I hit anything bigger than that hole, I want my bumper to stop me. Because thats its job. I wish it had hit the hole and stopped me, because then I'd be replacing a 600 dollar bumper not 3100 worth of wheels and tires. Also I live in central Texas. No dunes, no desert, no sand. I am not worried about skidding across dirt, because I have never once been on terrain where I thought that having a bumper to slide me over obstacles would be a better idea than stopping or driving around them

 

Fiberglass fenders suck, Why would people get fiberglass fenders when you don’t need them.

Also yes Texas style of trucks is weird, when I had my lt truck during my couple years in Texas I got a lot of “Baja” questions but people love seeing that style of truck.

Better than stock wheels, mud terrains, headache rack, and stacks imo

 

Exactly

 

Pretty sure he doesn’t have to worry about that at car shows
