Long Travel BS Thread

that a pillar is a built in “ fold here “ point…

 

That 4x thing is literally the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I’d much rather roll in a stock truck than one with that death trap thing in it. Tacoma cabs are already so small and then add that air bag blocking contraption and you have a recipe for disaster!

As for our cage it will work on both double and access cabs, the A, B and C pillars are the same, you would just have to cut down the tubes between the B and C pillars.

 

You can do it Randy, I believe in you

 

Are you really making a kit? Might be a silly question, but would an interior cage help prevent really shitty body damage? I mean it’s gotta stop folding in at some point right? haha I’m more concerned about that in a slow speed roll over/flop. Maybe some hybrid exo cage or something. Maybe a different truck.

 

Yea we are really doing it and it lays up against the sheet metal from the inside so it will definitely insure your truck stays looking like a truck

 

I forgot about their crazy dash tube. None of it seems like a good idea haha.

That's great to hear. I guess I need to dig up the pictures of that cage, I just wasn't sure if the roof X would line up properly, or if there were down bends to follow the roof that meet the rear tube. Either way, nothing that can't be overcome considering I was planning on just doing my own from scratch. Even just having the dash part sorted out would be so good.

Very excited for this!

 

That is freaking sweet. I can’t wait to see it. Add me to the list.

I totally forgot about that part of the thread. That is sick. Makes me want to ditch the glass, but it gets a little toasty down here…

 

that truck has all the glass installed it was just removed for the cage install

 

I figured that. Still made me want to ditch it. I like having heat and AC though.

 

Just get some pumper helmets and cooling vests.

If you could get a pre-bent that fits your wants that would be cool - if they made one that would keep more room in my truck it would be really nice...

 

It's overrated the jeep only has 3 pieces left it's breezy enough on those hot muggy days

 

Will a camelback and bicycle helmet work?

 

Luckily I got a great nature car wash in the torrential downpour last night. Glad nothing blew/rolled down the mountain. Ready to goooooo. hope nothing breaks until at least day two

 

One of these twist ties on each strap does a great job of securing the excess and also for storing the straps when not in use.

I’ve actually got some of those, didn’t think to use them. Good looking out!

 

I'll tell you from experience, the camelbak doesn't stay cold for very long in hot environments...
