Long Travel BS Thread

4130 chicks at the expo.... so hot

 

Hey there is nothing wrong with whores

 

front end all fixed and frame clean up and prep all done. bed cage and everything else starts 2nite...

 

fuckin teasin muther fuggers round here get to the hard shiz already

 

Whats the spaghetti? Plan to box the frame?

 

yup, box it and plate the outside

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Looks great man. I bet your stoked. I wish I could say mine was back on the road but its not. Still have shock mounts and bumps to do. Then its on to dialing in the brakes.

 

i'm super stoked and it's gonna get better cause now the real stuff starts with the cage being built and parts starting to go on the truck

going through withdrawls though, havent had my truck for almost 2 weeks. it sucks... as you know

 

Damn that would/does suck. I would go crazy. What are you driving now, anything?

 

It suck not having your baby. When mine was in the shop for three weeks i had to go to work and home with my boss. That sucks.

 

yeah, it sucks

i had a rental car for 5 or 6 days, then had to ride my mtn bike for a few days (felt like it was in jr high again) and now my parents are out of town so i'm borrowing my dad's 2009 3 series

truck should be done by this weekend.... i hope

 

I had to ride my mtn bike when I was building my front end lol

I'm prob gonna do the same thing when it comes time for the rear

 

haha, yeah not having a vehicle sucks. thankfuly i didnt have school when i was riding my bike but to get to work it was over an hour ride each way and of course it was during the heat wave... 100+ degrees

 

Mines only a 5 minute ride

In nice 70 degree weather

 

Matt i see you have yours at the moment. What do most guys do about the mech. anti lock in the rear? Switch it out to a T?

 

um, what? lol

 

ya i didnt catch that either

 

Maybe he means the BPV assy? Since Matt has an 04 I assume he must have ABS but I think the ABS is only in the front. I don't think it's possible to have ABS on drums.

For LT rear I think you can't use that stock BPV arm anymore that bolts to the rear end for sensing loading. Doesn't make sense to make a long ass bracket for it & I don't think it would work with that much travel anyway.

I have an adjustable bracket made by Beefed to eliminate the BPV arm. It's for super slammed or bagged trucks but would apply for LT too. I don't need it now but I got a good deal on it so I picked it up. I believe I've got the first one he made.

Cut the arm off leaving a couple inches, slip it through the heim & bolt it onto the BPV.




Here's Brian's description on his site:

Don't mind the arrow in the pic (it was for something else) but the bracket would bolt onto the two bolts in the upper right hand corner.



Matt you going to have something like that made? What do other LT tacos use?

 

Just go big with a Wilwood proportioning valve
