Rich's Long-ass-taco LT Build Thread

Sick

 

Thanks. It's a hell of a job when you do it by yourself. 17 hrs.

 

so sick

 

They were so bent & messed up after the Pismo trip, I ground them off just shortly afterwards

 

you're ordering shock hoops? I didn't know all-pro made a kit that can run secondary shocks lol.

great looking truck by the way. nicely done Rich.

 

Thanks....

The shock hoops are to initially reinforce the coil bucket, but I'm definitely welding some tabs on the LCAs. I'll prob be the first AP kit running bypasses.

 

oh okay gotcha! that'll be pretty sweet dude

 

That's a good looking truck...great build

 

Thanks Bro

 

So sweet. Do you have any pics of it not on the jack? Im curious to know how much taller it is than your midtravel set up.

 

Just went on Vacation, so I didn't have time to shoot any more pics yet. It's the same height as before though. I didn't preload the suspension too much. CV angles are much improved.

 

dope looks good with the bumper

 

Truck looks good man. I thought about doing the second bypass when I had the AP kit but I was told it might not work well. So I just dropped the project and looked for another kit. GL with your project can't wait to see it and you are for sure the first person I know that will have a second shock with the AP kit.

 

Thanks guys

 

Just curious what the reason was that it might not work well?

So did you get rid of your AP kit just to get bypasses?

 

I talked with Tim at DMZ and AP as well about adding a second bypass and was told it will take alot of work to make it work properly because of the AP LCA design.

Reason I got rid of the AP kit was because it would not keep up with my rear LT setup and being able to add a bypass was also a plus.

 

Yeah, if it were boxed it would be easier, still going to make it work though.
