Long Travel BS Thread

dang thats sick! you gonna do that to yours?

 

This place has a lot to be able to look and see what you like. i like the Beard Super seat (tons of colors) and Mastercraft originals. Twisted Stitch has a ton of color options too

should i get 3 inch or 2 inch?

 

I have a quick question for those who fab up there own stuff, like bumpers and sliders and so on! we are looking for some good prices on 1.75in. .120 wall dom tubing and i know i saw a few of you talking about how you get it for great prices. well down here in san diego we dont get it for cheap. the best price i could find was $3.75 a foot which would come out to $75.00 for a twenty foot stick. i saw somewhere posted where someone was getting it up in the LA area for much cheaper. If someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it. We here at Socaltacomas are going to start fabbing up our own bumpers and sort and we are ready to get started just need a good price on metal! Thanks

 

i think thats the going price for steel... if you guys are going to make your own stuff and sell it try to get a steel vendor

 

I am pretty sure you want 3" and get the harness pads. Mucho more comfy

X2 $3.75/ft isnt bad. You can get cheaper though if your buying in mass quantities

 

last time I got DOM about a month ago was $3.25 a foot.

 

Thanks guys, and yes they told me the more we buy the cheaper it gets! I just swear i saw where someone posted that they were getting it for around $40 for a twenty foot stick!

 

You live in San Diego! Where do you go to buy yours? the only place i no of is California Metals in El Cajon! If there is a better place let me know please

 

I got mine at Cal Metals, there is also IMS in Kearny mesa.
HAven checked Cal metals prices lately, but I know it was that cheap when I bought it a month or so ago.

 

Make sure you sit in seats and not go off what someone else likes. Seats fit everyone differently. If someone is fat they might like one over what a skinny person likes.

KarTek in Cali has a nice selection you can sit in and try. sdhq also has some in the show room that you can sit in.

 

okay awesome!
thanks for the help

 

They make seats for fat asses but Ive never seen skinny people seats. Eric might have to go with a kiddie seat lol J/K just messing with ya

 

No prob.

Like I'm Short and Skinny and I like having the higher sides to keep me in the seat. But someone else would like maybe lower sides and wider.

 

lol Sit in the green twisted stick next time you are at sdhq. If someone was maybe 3" taller and about 20+ lbs heavier then me they would be squeezed lol

But..... Beard does make a seat for short people. lol It has a higher bottom on it. lol I guess the telephone book method isn't race legal

 

No I doubt a phone book is legal lol. Eric are you gonna try and wedge 3 seats in your truck? I pray for the persons knees that has to sit in back. Your bar for the front seats harnesses are going to be in their lap. Its even hard fitting a back row of seats in a double cab with roll cage

 

If you can buy in bulk. A place in la quoted a friend for 3 bucks a ft if he bought 200 ft or more.

 

If you aren't building something that needs to be super strong like a roll cage, get HREW, its a lot cheaper
