Long Travel BS Thread

I'm pretty psyched/nervous too. I'm sure we'll get some test session video up. Will get a shakedown run one weekend, then a shock tuning weekend, then I'll get a couple of days of seat time, then final prep and race.

Haven't driven the truck myself since October 2010 so will be weird just to drive it again. Its basically not even the same truck any more. There are only about 4 parts of the truck that are the same as when I bought at this point.

 

I did see that but I wanted to go a different route with the cage. Did the buyer for the kit only fall through. If so shoot me a pm with the details on what's included (minus the cage) and your price.

 

Does anyone have the thread link to the race this weekend ? I saw it once and havent been able to find it sence

Thank you good sir

 

haha. first tim wants to sit and talk shit about all my products and now he wants to copy them.... i can tell you that they wont be deaver springs.....and they wont be class championship winning springs like mine already are.

 

im super happy with your kit such a difference offroad!


doesnt giant offer a bolt on kit too??

 

yes they do and it flex's pretty bad, my only complaint with the defined kit is it dosnt get the numbers it advertises but still a huge improvement over what we started with.

 

What kind of travel are you seeing?

Pretty sure Eddie and now Matt go 15"

 

yeah im pretty sure me and you have the same travel numbers haha..... still happy super though

 

haha no need for this, dont get me wrong i like the kit and bought it for a reason just saying that my tape measure didnt see 15".

 

We are racing this weekend out in Barstow.
You are more than welcome to chill at our pits!
Just let me know

 

thats a new one to me. what are you getting for travel and how did you measure it?

 

Don't get me wrong not taking shit to you but how is taking a kit that he already has and adapting it to make it more of a bolt on kit copying you. Your kit uses all stock hangers and modified shackles. He would still be using all his components just make it to where fabricating is minimized. You are not the only person to have a bolt on kit. Like mentioned earlier so does giant does that mean that giant copied you as we'll or did you copy giant? Like I said I am not taking shit I just fail to see the comparison between your kit and Tim's kit when they don't share any components.

 

little birdie told me he was gonna make a bolt in kit that uses stock hangers. ive got more info on it than just this site....all you would have to do on his current kit is drill out some holes to make it bolt on.

 

I dont know all the details on what he is planning so I am not going to spew off false info. It is possible but from my understanding it was not going to use stock mounts.

 

I am strapped just shy of 15" with my Defined pack (14.5"). We pulled out 1 leaf per side and it make a good difference in softness.

I'm quite happy with the Defined pack for just starting with this build. I do plan on going to a F70 pack next summer, not for any negative reason of the Defined pack just to pull so larger numbers.

 

how many leafs do you have now? i have the 11 leaf and was thinking about pulling one out. but wasnt sure if it would make a big difference, it rides pretty decent.

 

Yeah but he could have started with the 10 lesfs pack....like most...
