Long Travel BS Thread

He's built a couple of sick Taco's, he's just down the street from JD now

 

oooh, I thought he was in LA?

 

Hahaha

 

If the taco wasn’t in the condition it’s in
I’d try and take it to him and have him just get it “good enough to sell”

 

What even happened with that build? Very obviously at Morgan’s place. Shoved off to the side and forgot about? Looked like some rear floor section work was done in pictures I’ve seen

 

What happened !? @Caboose117 watched too many Kibbe & MCD videos is what happened... 1000hp, chassis, cage, 100" of travel, 40's, 4 seats, 100 gal cell ...his aspirations outgrew it before he ever built it and talked himself into a full size build

 

Yeah
The inside of the cab had a cage that was trash, Morgan cut that out then he cut further to fit the new cage
Got me to drop of everything needed for that
Plus money for steel
And then the kid working my project
Quit to go enjoy summer break and that was the end.
It’s not been a priority to anyone except me which lead to the death of my non profit
I spiraled for a while
Finally got my feet under me spiritually/emotionally and when I broke the silence with Morgan about the taco
He finally confirmed the disinterest in working on it,
Problem is, now that it’s been so heavily prepped for a cage
And has sat for so long
I don’t know what to think of it
And it seems like a waste to push further into it knowing that I can restart with a new cab way cheaper.

now I just gotta find someone willing to strip it apart for me so I can scrap the cab and frame ect ect

 

Ultimately
A build
Will continue
It’s likely going to be a Silverado similar to my daily
But
Full tube chassis center mount 4 link
40’s
4 seats as we all discussed a few pages ago
And a mullenix racing engine

we will do veteran camping trips using the race truck and the daily
And hopefully more vehicles once things actually move forward
And we will do affordable races each year picking a few veterans to attend each race and ride 3rd seat (rotating at pit stops)
And if we ever get to a point where financial backers get involved
We will build more camping off-road trucks and 1 more full kill race truck

 

Have you thought about reaching out to builders out here to let them know what you have available...maybe they have a client that would jump on a good deal just for the cab / motor / frame to start a project...better than scrapping it ?

 

He got a new shop - I guess he moved there then.

 

This is gonna sound dumb
But
Sano trashed my name pretty bad all over social media and in person told a ton of shops to straight up avoid me
Mind you
They did the cage that Morgan scrapped
And they went bankrupt when I filed to Sue…
But nobody wants to answer my calls
So if you know anyone
Let them know
But
I got nothin lead wise



ps: don’t worry about Sano too much, I got the receipt of the whole situation from start to end saved
And those F tards reopened under the same name doing AC repair on houses and kept the same mailing list.

 

Depending on exactly what’s been done. I may honestly be regrettably interested in buying the whole damn thing…. Including having it shipped here.

 

You’re welcome to it

 

Pm some current state pictures and toss a number at me…

 

hey wait a minute...I'm feeling like I should be getting a brokers fee on this deal ?

 

That will be a wait until August 1st
I am driving out there end of July to handle it.
It’ll be the first I’ve seen it since 2020

unless you wanna specifically buy the front suspension
I had promised it to another TW member
And the front kings are going on my Daily
So
Your essentially getting
Cab, frame, gas tank, rear axle and front diff, frame, stock motor and driveline and SUA deavers

the rear is resting on leafs only since there is no bed or gas or any weight
Interior is gone, I THINK there was dash but I’m sure it’s been destroyed be neglect now, but whatever trim I find you’re welcome to.
There are also a ton of NIB cosmetics for the truck, headlights, hood, Meso products ect
So anything Tacoma will be getting sold off too.
The 2.5x16 IBP coilovers will also be for sale


I am keeping the beadlocks unless someone makes a great offer

the Camburg Axel IS FOR SALE for a hood offer since I need to replace it with a different spec
The Axel will come with hubs, shafts and a trutrac
All brand new (5.29)
With a matching gear set for the front diff
All NIB

any additional information anyone wants just ask

but nothing will be happening til Aug1 cause I will need to physically go deal with this

 

The interior the last I saw it
Engine was 25k miles when parked

 

I have a dollar..

 

Interested for the right dollar amount. I assume the frame has never seen salt which is why I’m actually contemplating this stupidity.
