Long Travel BS Thread

only minor welding (secondary shock hoop) and no cutting

yes for loads more travel

Seriously!

 

Who's going to pismo nov 5-7? I want a ride in a long travel truck.

 

i dont get this,didnt you buy your truck completely built?

 

yo

 

I know its such a same right? It like when people back half a perfectly good taco to link it hahaha

 

Yes, But I have had to cut and weld plenty of stuff to fix the stuff the previous owners broke or didn't do right. and there will be a lot more cutting and welding into everything he soon.

 

there are plenty of ppl on here that do the same and have built there trucks in there own garages,many of them are on this page conversing with you,so on that note,why bash TW when your all over it,just saying

 

It was a joke man, Relax. There is a good portion of people here that do build things and work on them and thats rad. The ones that are building their trucks like so are going along with the humor. I.e. (Anthony, and Mike) But most of tw would never buy something at you would have to modify their truck by not utilizing stock locations on things. That why pretty must all of the vendors here are selling bolt on products with the exception of weld on sliders. Nothing wrong with going that route at all. Most people here do not have the tools or means to have them done and thats fine. I was poking a joke at Shocktaco saying people wouldn't buy something like that here.


Sorry if I hurt anyones feelings with my comment

 

fasho its just always seems like you dislike tw,i get it tho,no hard feelings

 

but seriously I wanna build a kit just like that allied one

shouldn't be too hard

 

nope, I like tw. with anything there are some things that i don't like but its a good place here. I just like to joke around and poke fun at some things I do think this site could be better by getting more vendors and trying to push new companies to announce new products (Press releases) and using this site for product testing. THere are companies that want people to test their products for tacos but most of the time they release this info on other sites.

 

I think you can do it. Your other kit turned out really well. I'd be interested in how it turns out. I really think that that style of kits are great because dual sheer uniball is so much stronger and the uniball isn't what is holding you back anymore.

 

You could totally do skid plate testing!

You gave All Pro a good test when you broke a UCA, and Showed that the 64" deaver pack doesn't like rocks much. lol

 

I think that the distance from companies is the only thing limiting your product testing offers. As things need to be redone and tweaked the shipping adds up for the company and kills the deal.

Solo Motorsports wanted a guinea pig to develop a 17+ travel 4wd 2005+ Tacoma kit and they would do all fab and kit development at cost to the customer. I was very tempted but getting my truck out there and back was out of my budget.

 

Now steering is gonna hold me back lol

 

haha thats for sure. High misalignment spaces on the heims will help that but I'm not sure how to get around it more. Gotta love R&D on new things lol

 

well, as we all know... nothing ever goes according to plan

my truck is gonna be another few days before it's out of the shop, but it's all good. i'm getting a bigger hook up price wise and the shop owner is gonna loan me his tundra if i need it

i did take some pics but i'm gonna leave you guys in suspense and not post any more till it's done

 

i wanna see the tundra lol



your truck too
