Depends on what wall tubing and what kind of plate. Doesn't have to be big to be strong

 

Thats what she said

 

Oh ok I don't know that much about links but I have never seen trailing arms with just a single tube to the axle

I'm sure there are little missing things

 

^^^ that's a good list

 

too bad the last time it seen actual dirt was over a year ago.


Hoping to take it out for testing in like 2-3 weeks. also I have a big event some of us are going to next month.

 

To buy 5 Spot beam HIDs for my light bar finally this week or to save the cash. hmmmm $375 isn't that bad...

 

the way those links are set up is how they used to build short course trucks right? single tubes but with the coilovers off the axle.

 

missing zipties and bailing wire

 

sooooooooooooo im about 2 months from having a decent amount of money to spend on long travel accessories. Im going to do the rear in one go.

Here is what i have for it so far.

Double Bypasses


yeah i know that was a short list. here is what i can name ill need off the top of my head

Defined Kit or a custom Deaver pack with ________ shackles (suggestions are appreciated)
Limit Straps
Boxing the frame
Extended Brake lines
Bedcage (im open to all offers/fabricators)
New drive line to compensate for the extra travel.


What else am i missing? and as far as price wise for all things i listed, i think itll be around 2600?


any suggestions or idea or just anyhting is greatly appreciated. im excited to have big things happen to the lil 4-bangin reg cab

 

as far as bumps, if i can score a deal on some, then ill go for it right now. if not, ill be fine running no bumps in pismo. i wont be jumping until i do infact bump the front and rear.

 

mikes kit i thought could be run with the stock fenders

 

ahhh okay, i didnt know that. Thanks Kreesh

i might stop by poly tomorrow but what length for the limit straps? 11" maybe?

 

yes sir! so lately i should get those.. ill be on the look out for wheel spacers and brake lines!

 

don't feel bad... i'm in the same boat
