Long Travel BS Thread

You have the LT kit already? I called DK last week and my stuff was at powder coat, they said I should have it by the end of this week

 

Not yet. I'm about to finish buttoning up the rear end with some deavers. I just had some air bumps installed this week, and then I gotta fix my driver shaft. After that it's LT kit time.

 

Anyone need some new unused dirt design links?
Looking to sell them to put the money into a motor instead

 

Post some pics and dims IE: eye to eye length & front eye to CO

It’s his double cab short bed, outside of cab links
Exact same links as mob armors Tacoma

 

Dims ?

 

The dirt designs links are mig welder and have a parts list of stuff including the frame side pivots and the upper links

the giant links are Tig welded and are just the 2 lower links

 

Bro, gonna try to explain this to ya’ one more time. Anyone looking to buy links is going to want/need to know the eye to eye length of the link and the distance from the front or rear pivot to the CO bolt...and you still haven’t posted any prices either.

 

Into a motor for a truck that doesn’t have a rolling chassis? Dude you need to get this thing rolling and suspension finished before worrying about motor work. Been what, 3 years on jack stands switching back and forth between different suspension kits and companies?

rant over, just sell the Tacoma and buy a ready and done brenthel or geiser bro’s prerunner

 

LMFAO

 

Agreed. Over suspespended underpowered = more fun and safer than overpowered and undersuspended. Post your links on @selloffroad IG page - not an easy thing to sell but lots more guys looking for that stuff than here - we be poh’

 

CA does not allow this and CHP is very aware of people registering out of state. CA law allows for something like a 15-20 day grace period when you move to CA to get your vehicle registered. If you get pulled over and they can tell you have been here longer they will fine you. In order to have out of state plates legally you will need to reside outside of this state for more than 6 months of the year. A big give away is if you have a CA driver's license and out of state plates, don't do that.

 

@Caboose117 Don't sweat these messages, but listen to the core thread of what they are saying. A good buddy recently gave me similar advice that may pertain to you as well: "Get something in the dirt and stop worrying about it being perfect, it'll never be perfect. Being in the dirt with your friends is more important"
... I get where you are as I have two projects on jack stands and a third drive-able but in between built and street queen. I have always been a big fan of the build process, but have realized that i'm not 18 anymore and dont have as much time to put in to every aspect of a build and prerunners inherently have maintenance and fab requirements to update them constantly. Plenty of requirements for hands on for me. My future is a built chassis, I'm ready to get all of my stuff to a sellable state and clear it all out for smog exempt and TTB's.

Here is some more unsolicited advise that you didnt ask for and probably dont want. A built bronco may not be a bad choice. Power, space, reliability and they are surprisingly fast. Plus Bronco's are always popular and easy to resale.

Here is one of my best buddies bronco's for sale. Big block Patton power, a big reliable trans and rear end and 4wd. This thing is fast and reliable

I’m tracking
Thanks for the advice.

I sent this truck off to a shop
Shop built a bad cage
I had to get the vehicle back and scrap the whole cage and in turn lost the 10k I paid said shop
They were not kind people durring the whole ordeal and I am pretty sure they messed with my motor. It gives me anxiety to even consider what they may have done after some of the other things found when removing their work.

I can either assume my motor is fine
And run it
Or I can have someone go through it with a fine tooth comb and make sure it’s not been sabotaged.
Alternatively I could put a motor in it that actually provides the power to turn 37’s.

at the juncture I’m at, the decision of doing a motor
Or praying mine is fine will all be decided if I can sell the 2 sets of unused links that I purchased trusting someone else’s advice

I’ve made a ton of mistakes with this build and I openly admit that. But right now I’m just trying to look a handful of steps ahead and try and do logistical troubleshooting before I run into the problem.

Because like everyone else, my budget is limited and I am running out.

either way, these two sets of links need to go.

 

What reason do you have to think Sano messed with your motor? I’m sure there is a reason you’re assuming this? I’d also love to see pics of the bad cage.

 

Unless you have any firm proof of tampering you might as well run your motor, unless you plan of selling it without letting buyer know you think it’s compromised, the motor isn’t worth much as a paper weight. Might as well try to get some use out of it. That would make the most sense and get your truck back into the fight so your charity can do what it set out to do. That’s what’s really important right? Not how fast the motor is. I don’t think the people you are trying to help care about that at all.

 

There will be no pictures of the cage
I’m not trying to get into a further argument with that shop.
Hence why I didn’t name them.

you notice they did that and I didn’t retaliate right?
It’s cause I was handling it with the bank.
The bank decided in his favor.
It is what it is.

But when we removed it
This was on most tubes.
So....

 

check yourself there homie, i didn’t say a single negative thing and have in fact been know to defend him quite a bit over the years. I was simply pointing out that he was posting incomplete information as well as no price for the items he is trying to sell.

 

Check myself? I didn't say you or your message was bad, I actually said "listen to the core thread of what they are saying".... pretty sure I am reinforcing you here "homie"
