*RIP* Bijan's #EXPOASF Long Travel Build

Hmm thought this wouldn't fit the new setup

 

Money had to be saved somewhere. No front end swap for now, however, if I did...I'm pretty sure everything would still work perfectly. Maybe Slotting the bumper points downwards a tad bit lower so the bumper could come higher, then just cutting off the hoops and making lower ones and rewelding.

 

The only difference between the 05-11 and 12-15 is a raise plate at the base. It’s a visual thing.

 

Makes sense, function over looks FTW
And true it would probably still fit

 

Whenever in doubt, just ask Shane hahaha

 

I wouldn’t put it that far.

 

Decided to clean up wiring too since I'll be adding more random lights and an air compressor so I bought an AUX panel. I felt like this was a decent price and it's from Pelfrey so heck why not. I had one of those prepaid cards from a group study 2 years ago worth $50 so this was perfect

 

Yeah if it was the same set that was posted here, I had inquired back in Dec but decided to hold off until talking to him a couple days ago. But I’m better off waiting until I can afford shocks and axles. What shocks you plan on going with?

 

I just ordered 8” Stroke King’s custom spec’d a little - Spring rate will be a fun thing to get right first but between 600lb and 650lb.

I’ll shoot you a text where I got it and how much I paid

 

Did you ever figure out if you can order the shocks with 650s or??

 

Yes I can do 16” 600lb, 16” 650lb

Or Eibach for a little extra and the same spring rates but...yeah not doing that

Once the shocks are in their hands I’ll pick the rate. @Shmellmopwho do you remember your spring rate??

 

I have 700lbs springs on my Fox coilovers cuz I got a ton of weight up front. Full plate bumper, winch, IFS skid, group 34 battery, compressor, etc

 

Pelfrey hybrid is a great choice, love mine. Depending on your winch you'll either have to relocate the solenoid box or trim the radiator/grille support.

 

Thanks! I just wish they made the hoop 1.5" lower so it looked less like a shamu about to eat you with an open mouth and more like the 12-15. For some reason that's what I think haha...Look at this other Pelfrey bumper (not the Hybrid one). I really wanted to send Jerry a message asking if he could do that but I don't want to be a nuisance and he's already slammed. (Alex's truck pictured).

Thanks for the points about the winch - It'll be a while before that happens but I can see how fitting it might be an issue.

 

If you don't ask for it now, your gonna be in the same situation your in. Looking for something new when you could already have the "dream bumper." In other words, do it right the first time if it makes the customer happy.

 

Remember you know someone else with a tube bender and a welder and lots of spare tube sitting around lol

 

I was going to ask but didn't want to put more on your plate
Let me ask Jerry tomorrow and if he vetos the idea...Yeah I'll be at your door with non-alcoholic refreshments and ready to buy your bottle opener haha

 

Very true!

 

Hahahahaha sounds good!!

 

Alright. I'll keep an eye on this.
