LT Taco Anchorage

Saw this truck the other day driving back from the airport. Stopped by today and took some pictures of it. It is a pretty sick little ride but the price they are asking is a lot.

 

wow. thats sick "jump truck"

 

HAHA thats Sick!

 

sick truck. i bet it does jump pretty good. looks like its 4x4 too... but $23000

 

THey mounted the rear bypasses wrong. THey will get ruined if you were to run it like that.

 

i just noticed that!!!

 

whats the difference?

 

the way they are mounted, the forward and backward movement of the shock as the rear suspension cycles will destroy the shock eye

 

They need to be able to pivot forward and backwards. the way rear LT works is when it drops out everything swing forward and at full bump everything goes back then up.

 

ahh thank you both

 

in the way the shocks are mounted? the axle goes forward and back slightly in the travel. the way the shock is mounted it wont work right because it wont allow any front/rear travel in the suspension

 

i was late...

 

I never would have known this. The trucks interior was not in the best looking shape either. It looks like a lot of custom work went into this build but that is asking a lot for something where they get something this important wrong.

 

OP, it rains over there a lot too? Damn...I thought Kodiak was bad..lol

(I wouldn't pay 23,000 bones for the that POS!!!)

 

Yeah it has been raining a lot this past summer. We had four days of sunshine earlier last week but that has been about it. It looks like rain for the next two weeks or so too.

 

Mine swing about 3" forward at full droop and 3" back and full compression. if they did the rear correct they would need to swing at lease that. and that Spherical joint in the eye cannot take that kind of movement all the time. either the eye will fail or it will bend/break those shock mounts.

 

2.5x18. Which comes out to 46.43" Extended and 28.50" Compressed

 

Ha! Sounds just like here...
