Long Travel BS Thread

Man you've come a long ways! Looks great.

The worst part is you'll have to take it all apart to paint it haha

 

Nah the way its bead rolled they kinda shrink and stretch at the same time since the bead roll is two opposite bends kinda like a joggle the dimension stays close enough

Yea best 300$ craigslist find ever

Yea painting it....dont remind me lol

 

And the backhalf bottom there sits about flush with bottom of the diff housing

 

I should spend more time on CL. That's a hell.of a catch.

 

Damn daily driver has me missing the truck. Thinking I'll need to let her stretch her legs this weekend. Maybe tomorrow morning if I'm real antsy

 

Three days in a rental car has me feeling the same way. Makes me re-think what I want in a DD

 

I don't think LTing a Kia would give you the same satisfaction.

 

Mines at least a manual so it's somewhat more entertaining to drive. And it was nice to fill up for $30 and get double the range vs the truck. But I do think I'm gonna have to get out in the morning for a quick blast through the forest.

 

My buddy got a ford focus ST for a commuter....then went and put a bigger turbo, cat delete and some tuning revisions...makes about 400hp at the wheel its retarded fast fun DD lol

 

Yeah that was was out of my budget. I'm rockin a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. If I were going for a play car it would be an sti, but again, out of my budget. And then you end up with just a second toy.

 

I like the Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT86. No backseat but a fun little boxer 4 and good mileage. I’ve heard they’re fun to drive as well. Should also be reliable.

 

That's what I'm buying when my I finish my truck!

 

they're cheap, get about 25-30 mpgs. not practical, but work if you don't do any kind of work out of a vehicle.

 

Actually, those are more practical then you'd think. The trunk space is very large with the back seats folded down. The rear seats are small but work just fine.

I was surprised how much room was in one when I got in one. And im 6' 1''. VERY fun to drive too. Be a great DD other than you'd be tempted to mod it too...lol

 

Hatchback master race. Had a 2011 GTI, 2014 Fiesta ST, and now a 2018 GTI
