Long Travel BS Thread

i was extremely patient with cody and was even one of his "sponsored" trucks and still had bad customer service. I even started a group buy on here which he said he would compensate me for doing. never saw a dime. I was waiting on a 40" bar to replace my old one and just kept getting story after story. I had a bulb go out under warranty and am still (3 months later) waiting for that bulb.

 

People expect money for running group buys?

 

yo i told everyone i changed my mind a few times and parts took a while. dont think i dont tell anyone about the changes ive made lol and the time it took for parts to come in.

 

dramaaaqueeeens

 

WHat did i miss

 

didnt expect a dime.. i did it just to help the guy out cause he asked me to. he offered to take a percentage from the new sales he got and take that off of the light bar i was buying. Thats all

 

I've been really considering fitting a race seat in the back for my 4 year old. I was just wondering if that was legal or should I keep him in his booster chair?

 

should i blah or should i dgaf?

The entire prerunner/desert racing industry is based off of extending stock a-arms/i-beams/leaf springs

Anyone remember when fabtech was off imperial highway in brea, and they were the shit, when dual yellow bilsteins were dialed. Upper arms, torsion bars, a body lift and downey shackles. Downey off road! When 33's were big. Duffco in san dimas, when ESB was in business with there thin lil misalignments and longer arms for the gnar travel. Bonzen back halfing his nice shiney tacoma. ATS. Amplified performance and what their BJ kit and vertical uniball kit actually looked like, not the race-dezert classified scammers trying to pawn off their hack home made shit as these long gone shops. When Camburg had a 84-95 5 lug upper arm and LT BJ kit, and their dailed airbump off the upper. Prep by Jake before some rich dude bought them. Wickeds gnar wide BJ yota with equally gnar long trailing arms. When everyone and their mom had an S10 with glass. The dialed linked grey single cab yota Giant built. When the mega wide arm S10 was not a repost. Railto off road and jump contests, seeing kung fu own everyone there. DMZ's lil white yota with its mega extended stock lowers, Baja concepts. OC off road...
Aren't I cool, i'm so knowledgable, I can't believe I still think prerunners are cool but what can you do.
I liked the scene back then more, too many rocket engineers now trying to sell shit to broke ass kids
I have pee pee

 

I've kinda wanted to blah about:
why you do lower BJ on 2nd gen? (free, not single sheer in tension load?)
for why 1" horizontal upper uniball and only 13" (bumpsteer ain't so bad with MT/DD's are cool?)
how come you bypass shock (multiple stage damping cannot be recreated with single stage damping, quick adjustment?)
why come you no bottom out resi piston for oil (lil more oil than the absolute minimum to the drop could be a good thing?)

but I'm smart enough to know that I don't know what the hell i'm doing
except this:

take it apart
do work
cycle
put it back together
repeat ^ or \/
trial and error
repeat ^^

 

Awesome, I remember all that. I miss R.O.R.!

 

Ahhh the good old days

 

Prerunners.net!
HA!
oh shit
I'm a kook

 

at least happysmiley gets it

 

Fuck yeah Wednesday night chat!

 

I know it was an inside thing but what did ESB ever stand for? That and DnF and GFO. I always wonder the meanings of those.

 

haha i have my gfo jacket on right now....most people think its go fast offroad

 

I personally never got on the chat, I wasn't super involved with people in the scene, lurker like i am now.

Don't know on ESB, it was joked about in the FAQ section though on their old site, HA
I remember, Everyone.. S.B.(mine)

What was the drama death shop, Azonic Fab? Something with an A
some things never change.

Crazy what built prerunners are now today in comparison, 3.0 bypass shocks are getting pretty standard...

K enough of that

 

GG Lightning- I don't know much about GG Lightning, but when I saw "GG" I instantly remembered the thread of GG's ranger build.

ESB? Where to even begin with him.. Landon, any .02 input? lol

Prerunners.net - still have an old shirt from them.
