Long Travel BS Thread

sweet man! keeping the 16s im assuming as well?

also that tough truck looks fun... are cages required in street class?

 

New to me lol, I always heard jobber in a negative way lol

 

Yeah the 16's are staying on.

In the street class the only requirement is to be street legal. Cages aren't required.

 

This one isn't weatherproofed, unless you plan to install in the cab.
It's designed to be mounted inside the windshield.

Awesome! I thought about doing the same, would love to see the final install

 

I'll get some pics, I already have the "lights" now im just waiting on the truck to install them on haha. I think i'll have to do something additional for the running/tail lights lower off the rear bumper tho since technically both need to be under 54" from the road and these will not. working out options there right now

 

I use the Aries STL lights. They are water proof and really bright. They have 14 different flash patterns. I have some front and rear as dust lights.

I wanted this one so bad. Vi has his on the back of his cab on the outside for more than 2 years now and it's fine. Super fucking bright.

 

SERIOUSLY. I was stuck behind it in mojavi when we were making a pit stop. It seriously gave me and rhea a head-ache. We had to get out of my truck. That thing is RIDICULOUSLY bright.

 

yeah, I just got these for dust lights.. super bright

hmmm.... good to know. some of those take down lights facing the rear could be handy

 

Anyone hitting the desert this weekend?

 

Yeah i am

 

Lucerne, barstow, or ocotillo

 

Im down to hit up the desert on Sunday. I can't keep up though in my stock truck lol

 

Pretty sure he said desert not over used baren waste land...

 

Bahaha, Barstow is getting there.. But Lucerne and Oco are still pretty nice!

 

We are! Saturday night thru Sunday

 

We're gonna be in the barren wasteland of Barstow testing LSK's new Ranger and testing some other cool stuff out of ear-shot

 

The one thing I was worried about is that one does not have the option to weatherproof and does not say its weatherproof in the details so I was thinking its for interior only. I'm guessing if Vi runs it outside the truck it should be ok with rain and dust

 

you can waterproof it yourself by taking off the protective outer cover and laying a bead of silicon on the edges. That's how speedtech does it from factory anyways.

 

Anyone with AP LT and the HD tie rods deal with replacing the tie rod ends yet?

I called them up, $141 to for just the outers (with misalignment spacers). I know poly has heims way cheaper, but I can't seem to figure out the right ones. The tie rods are a 3/4-16 RH thread, I just don't know what size the bolt that comes out of the spindle is.
