Long Travel BS Thread

I like that guys quick thinking!

 

Couldn't you just separate it at the u-joint and get the rear section off a 4wd truck? I was planning on getting a new shaft or just modding this one might look into getting stronger u-joints

 

it helps to have a trophy truck ha

 

me 2

 

These would work for the 1st gen 50t install?

not everyone can build to score spec, its hard, alot more hours and money.

 

i disagree, getting it tagged is pricey but building it to spec should not be.

 

how much does it cost to get the truck tagged?

well building it to spec will be more pricy if not doing it yourself, it takes more man hours to get to all the specs.
right? building a score tagged cage costs more than a weekend warrior cage. this is what i have known at least...

 

besides material size any cage should and usually are built above and beyond SCORE's guidelines.

 

Ill let you know in a few months when my cage is done. Engage will be building my cage to SCORE spec and tagged.

 

Yeah it is pretty sweet! dropping it off in 2-3 weeks!

 

the cage can be made of both, as long as the main structural part of the cage is 1.75.

Minimum material dimension requirements for roll cages apply to the following members of the roll cage:

(1) Front and rear hoop
(2) Front and rear interconnecting bars
(3) Rear down braces
(4) Lateral bracing
(5) Elbow and door bars
(6) Lower A-pillar tubes, and lower B-pillar tubes

 

how long will it be under the knife if you dont mind me asking.

 

i see trucks all the time that dont meet the score guidelines.
including mine! haha.
but i see what your saying.

 

yeah but good luck having a race ready 2nd gen extracab under 4000lbs

 

Have you since upgraded to some ARP Studs?

I've been wanting to do this but I can't find some the right length to allow me to run spacers w/ new studs

Hopefully Mike will chime in, since his Truck is a 2nd Gen Access cab Score spec'd/tagged

I know Logan (username) truck is actually lighter then stock caged front to back (not sure on the specs of the cage tho).

 

6 months maybe more....

 

holey shit batman, the curb weight of a 2nd gen v6 prerunner access cab is 3800 lbs. never knew that

 

and thats curb weight, you got to be race ready with all tools, spares, fuel, and driver
