Long Travel BS Thread

If you had black socks and a flat billed hat they would have swarmed you

 

lmao! its Dan200

 

I think raptor drivers are the new jeep drivers. Ya know. They think they can do anything in their vehicle just because of the stigma behind it.

 

Hahahaha that is Dan200

 

too funny

 

kinda outta my travel zone here.

Holy F***! there are some nice trucks in this thread.
Just a question for you desert guys out there.
I know apples to oranges but I will ask anyway.
Trophy trucks are usually the same width in terms of front and rear ends when settled. Or close to it
A lot of your trucks are extended uppers and lowers in the front.
Are any of you guys widening the rear to suit? Or is it totally unneccesary and expensive?
Just a question. Not trying to stir shit up but the long travel prerunner is not all that common here in BC Canada

thx

 

I figured as much. Thx for the reply

 

anybody need a set of straps?

15.5" center eye to center eye (my old rear straps)

 

That's true...

 

He can't help but hate your nice truck

 

my new prospect at work:

fuck LT, im saving up for one of those!

 

The cocpit on that thing is awesome

 

The ultimate LT... 10,000 feet of vertical travel

 

What kind of rear set up were you running? I have the defined kit, not installed yet. will these work? Maybe with clevisis'

 

Ya I was like ok dude you just burned up 10 bucks in gas.

 

I had a Raptor driver tell me that I can't keep up because my bilsteins cant keep up with his stock foxes. The whole time standing behind my truck with this view.

 

You could for sure make them work... It just depends on where you mount them. The clevis would be a good idea. I originally ran a F55 pack with 9" shackles. I bought these for that and just never replaced them until now with all the different leaf packs I've ran

 

Personally I don't think its that bad considering how many are out there and that a large majority of the owners don't seem to have any prior off road seat time

I believe it is, I vaguely remember seeing a pic of the frame bent. If I come across it again I'll post it
EDIT: Kinda looks bent here

No doubt about it. I got a good laugh when I was reading a thread about the Texas Raptor Run and guys were asking for class's teaching them how to run their trucks. They were also suggesting that they have a pace truck on a 42 mile course. If I'm gonna spend 40-55K on something I'm surely gonna have some past experience 1st.

With the RPG truck getting wrecked, I guess he came around a turn and there was a truck sitting in the middle of the road, and he had 2 options, plow through the other Raptor or yank the wheel into the cattle guard.
Either way it sounds like he was screwed

 

Haha your truck would eat a raptor offroad.
