Long Travel BS Thread

No one ever posts in the classifieds so we might as well diversify our BS to strengthen our shock talk

 

That's not true. You keep that thread alive daily. I always browse, just rarely post.

 

This smaller company MBCustom Fab https://www.instagram.com/mbcustomfab/ Owner is super cool ! Doing the front rear and redoing my exhaust !

 

Man if y'all are getting checks and building crazy LT trucks, I'm doing something wrong.

 

So I know its a lt form but i used my stimmy to get a datsun 280z

 

Or something right ... depending on how you look at it.

 

Nice. What sort of condition is it in? Is it a resto project or usable as is?

 

For the price I paid i say pretty great condition. I just have to drop the tank flush it and replace the fuel pump and she should fire right up !

 

My $1400 from ol’ Joe is gonna go to a new set of 35” tires.

I’ve honestly been happy with my Ko2’s for the last 50k miles, but don’t like their price premium
I was looking at Falken Wildpeak, Yokohama X-AT, or maybe Arturo Trail Blade Xt. Just go with Ko2’s again ?

Anyone have experience with those ?

I don’t want a mud terrain as it’s still my daily, with 90% of miles being on road.

 

I've heard good things with the Falken Wildpeaks from multiple people. Personally, weight is extremely important to me when looking at a tire for these trucks which was one of the main reasons, and price, that I went with the Milestar Patagonia. They are cheaper than most comparable tires, lighter weight, and actually pretty quiet for an MT.

 

Weight is one of my biggest concerns as well. I’ll check them out

 

Definitely the best value for money tire on the market. Tough, reasonable grip, reasonably quite.

 

The new toyo atIII comes in a 35x11.5 and I believe is only 63 lbs a tire. I was looking at the C rated grabber x3 35x12.5 and its at 65 lbs a tire

 

I can tell you falkens suck and the tread chunks off as soon as you take it off-road and then it’s loud af.

don’t get falkens lol.

 

Sooo... I had the bajakits +2 on for about a week and I’ve ordered dirt king lt arms so yeah

 

What do you do for work and are they hiring?

 

Hahaha well I sell and fabricate classic car parts but no I’m gonna sell the bajakits lt when I get the dirt kits to pay a bit of the dirt king back

 

Why are you switching?

 

Well I originally wanted to go all dk fab but the misses got the bk for me. It’s not bad but not what I’m wanting. I’ll be selling em for 2500 so if you know anyone !!
