Long Travel BS Thread

cool, problem solved then




but you should still get race spindles

 

So bad news. Went to finish up my truck today after i got the spindles machined and the wheel i ordered have the wrong offset. This is going to set me back a week at least and some more dough. Im going to miss this Mays Mojave run

 

wheres it rubbing?

 

the build of the truck is pretty much as far as it's going to go for now. i'm looking around for a mazda 3 hatchback to use as my DD and i want to park the truck and only use it to off road. i want to gut the interior and cage it, but the wife and I are looking to buy a house so i might try to sell again in 6 months or so, i know i'm not going to get shit for it though...

i dont see much point in dropping more money into the tacoma when i want a raptor in my drive way in a few years... yes, i said it. RAPTOR

bummer man, can you run the stock wheel in the mean time...? i know you can on the 1st gens

did the company send the wrong wheels or you ordered the wrong wheels?

 

im there with the raptor....and my username is nofords

 

just read this guys build. Insane skill and talent... makes me wonder how these fabricators get to this level. You either have it or you don't.

Sick truck, just sucks he lost 4x4

 

I didn't take in account the offset i needed. The stock wheels rub on the steering arm on the spindle by like 1/4 of an inch. I have to ship back the wheels and look for some new ones

 

thanks, i freaking love the spindles. def worth the cost. there are so many houses for sale down here in CA... nobody can afford to make their mortgage payments... my wife and i have our eye on one. i just need to start the paperwork for my home loan through the VA

damn, that sucks... but get used to it, nothing is ever easy or goes as planned in the world of LT haha

 

Im having trouble bleeding my brakes. I ran a whole quart through and there still air in the lines. Any tips?

 

I would go ask where Chris4x4 can see. When I did mine it just worked lol

 

sweet build over on DR...

truck is nice Matt....

 

I got my truck on the road again. I bought some spidertrax wheel spacers to use the stock wheels untill i can sell my mickey thompsons. I figure I can use them out back when i go LT in the rear.

 

nice! lets see some pics...lol

 

Ahhhh, I just dont know if I can justify getting these

Chamber Pros

 

Is the 4 door Raptor new for this year? The owners of the company I work for just bought their 4th Raptor and its 4 door. They have a blue, white, orange, and now a gray 4 door. They are nice I just dont see paying the $52k sticker price, but maybe I am just a Raptor hater

 

Sure you can! .

Geeez! 4 raptors??!?!?!!

 

^I know right. But its multiple owners and execs so each one has one. Not one person has 4. We have a fleet of over 4k Ford vehicles so I am sure they are getting a good deal on them too

 

oh yes you can!!! i love those wheel, i've wanted them for a while

yeah, it was new for this year. $52K is crazy expensive for a truck... thats' not raptor hate... thats just common sense

 

That makes more sense. I thought it was 1 person has 4 ha.

I love those wheels too so nice!
