Long Travel BS Thread

Anybody want one 7" 35W HID? 70 bucks picked up, 80 shipped. brand new, only used for like 10 seconds on my battery to test it out.

 

at least 12" so you can use dual rate springs

 

I just ended up buying 2 straps and tabs..they're quad wrapped so I thought having two on each side was a bit excessive. I didn't think they were gonna be that thick

 

Are you designing the suspension around the shocks? I would wait and see what the "custom" set up needs, not the other way around. The closer the shock tabs are to the hub the more stroke will be required of the shocks, which is a good thing because they won't have to work so hard. The closer you can get to a 1:1 ratio the better, like this truck.

 

i dont even think you can fit 16s on the front without a FAT engine cage, like popping out of the hood haha.

dude that brenthal kit is sexy, what fabrication is needed to put it on?

 

It's all about the angle of the dangle.

The fabrication required to fit the Brenthel DIY TT kit is significant. It would have to be integrated into a tube chassis, custom steering, links in the rear, etc. That is the plan for my next build, get a cab from a junkyard and do a complete tube chassis with the Brenthel kit up front, links in the rear and the nastiest LS motor I can afford. That's a ways down the road though...

 

way down the road... so like the end of this year?

 

I don't know man. I'm trying to move back to Oregon, but I've been considering deploying again to build up some cash, so I dunno.

 

yeah man, i was just fucking with ya.

i'm so ready to move out of CA. once i'm done with school, i'm off to OCS (not sure what branch yet) and i'm leaving behind this ass backwards, communist state.

unless i get stationed here... lol. that would suck

 

you should consider moving to arizona, i love it here and so do most people!

 

Sizzling bacon in a frying pan... mmm

 

it's really going to be up to the military... again.

i'd live in AZ, TX, ID, UT, OR, WA, CO... pretty much anything other than CA

 

USMC

 

that's pretty much the plan. just keeping all my options open at the moment.

i just have to make sure i get to OCS before my little brother... he's going USMC aviation and it would suck to have to salute him haha

 

Hey Krish, might be interested in your light. couple questions though. what company and beam pattern is it, and could you get a couple dimensions? just diamiter and depth. approximations are good enough. thanks man.

Edit: nevermind, i was able to find the information online

Edit #2: don't i look like a retard now huh... so now i'm not sure if i was looking at the exact same light, so if you could let me know the original info that would be awesome

oh man, especially if it's a little brother.

 

question mark. I am looking for advice on which brand of fiberglass fenders to throw on my pickup. I am more of a "function over form" kind of a person, being able to quickly fit them on an 07 tacoma is a good part of my decision.

 

^^^ glassworks unlimited makes the best product

 

their customer service is shitty though it took me 6 weeks to get my front fenders with no phonecalls or emails in betweenq

 

i have glassworks and fiberwerx, glassworks are better imo

 

yeah, it can be hit and miss with them. the two times i've bought from them i had great service and i drive down a pick my parts up. not having to deal w/ shipping makes life alot easier

but my buddy has had no so much luck buying from them. at least their glass is nice
