Long Travel BS Thread

that or cheap asses who dont have a job and just built the front to get bitches haha

 

Lots of experts on here I see. I take it you went full Lt front and rear at the exact same time right ?

 

False. Mid travel front with long travel rear.

What your defending is equivalent to me being long travel rear with A spacer lift up front

 

this is turning into the mt bs fail thread.

 

pretty much, good way to word it haha.

and i put my front kit on in high school and went on a couple local trips with DR guys and then inlisted into the Marine Corps, when i came back i built my rear end and recently did the cage.

 

good to know u assume its not that tuc'd off an awkward cell phone pict and that you are the expert fabricator/ tig welder ect on Tacoma world. And no the plate is very small and there is not even close to enough room for a dimple die because it literally sits right ontop of the 2" tubing... talk is cheap tho, please back up your statement by coming up to Johnny Branch's shop in Hemet and show us the way since u know it all. He can build full center-mount kits and custom 4-links and aluminum dash's and such but man, those damn dimple dies get him every time... We need your help

 

what size shocks are those ? why arent they flush with the bed like most trucks ?

 

x2

for guys like that, its a dick measuring competition. I'd like to have a conversation like that in person with him. Typical DR post, over the computer its one thing and in person is completely different haha

 

They are 16" shocks, this set up gets the shock to a more 1:1 set up and also has the Lower mount pushed away from the axle similar to the total chaos bottom shock mounts.

 

Ohhh is that what he meant ??......

 

oh ok cool i was just curious. is that the same bolt in bedcage as yours from american motorsports ? with out the spares of course

 

Yes it is ! Its the same bolt on but without the spares ....good meeting you to chris , thanks for all the help too

 

Mad bro?

 

nailed it.

 

is that what it was ? adorable.

so kiddo, some times what you find is a good deal on front suspension. did you find a good deal on rear leafs, bed cage (or hoops) someone to cut, bend weld, fab, yada yada yada the rear at the same time as the front? you must have. in fact, everyone must have. every single truck that is LT must have dont the front and rear suspension at the same time. here's a fun fact for you. after changing the front suspension, weather you are lifting, lowering, or what have you, the rear wont be the same height. i know, crazy right ? so, this is just a shot in the dark here, but maybe, just maybe, instead of sitting ass low after the front suspension was installed, they guy threw some blocks in there to level it out a bit for now. what you "spotted" was not SO INTERESTING AND AMAZING IM SURE NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN IT BEORE !.

you are not retarded, id be willing to bet my last dime on it. you are probably a bright kid. dont dumb yourself down. tell you what, ill even buy you a beer. as soon as you are old enough. till then, you interested in a grape soda?

 

No bend, its an optical illusion, I had take a look for myself cause it threw me off after you mentioned it, and that's a 2" tube tucked up against the sheet metal after the cab got skinned. If this cage got any closer to the sheet metal it'd be an exo cage.

Did you skin the cab before laying tubes? If not I think that's what's throwing me off when you say its tighter than a virgin, cause you're cage could be just as tight as mine, just a few inch's further out than if you had.
How wide is that a pillar plate? In the pic it looks to be about 3 inch's

Are you working there?
I'm hoping that I can get Johnny to do all the aluminum on my truck within the next 4-6 months.

 

seen some of the work Mr. Branch puts out. pretty bad ass. im sure you will be stoked.

 

i didnt skin all of it because i think it helps strengthen the cab a bit. And ill double check, but the plate is only like an 1"- 1.5". Its not very big, and we managed to weld alot of the tubing directly to the cab. its pretty tight in there

And I help out at Branch's shop and sort of intern with him, its hard to get up there with work but i go usually once or twice a week. And yeah his aluminum work is amazing

 

yeah he's really good at what he does, im stoked to help out at the shop when i can. Do u work with the guy at American Motorsports? Cant remember his name but i stopped by not to long ago, i live by his shop
