Nathan's Long Travel Build

Damn are those the Pro seats? I should have went with more coloring, those make mine look boring lol

 

No, these are the TS-1's. I was going to go with black with grey center but the guy there suggested I add some other stuff. So I added some sliver

 

Aww ok, they look good

 

Thanks man! I'm pretty excited

 

Hey man! Hows the rear end coming along?

 

Well....still at a stand still. So decided its time to talk to a couple shops. Soon I hope!

 

They have arrived...

 

Just ordered a tube bender and I'll be starting serious work on the cage when it shows up. Hopefully next weekend

 

Well then dont update this until you have pics!

 

Fine! Here's my progress. Dash is out.

 

Hey man, any tips for removing the cam sleeves from the LCAs? Ive tried lube, heat, BFH, clamps,.... Cant seem to make them budge

 

Yeah... Mine were corroded so badly they wouldn't move. I couldn't even get the LCA's off the frame.
Oxyacetylene torch was my solution, but the new ones were $300 for a set of 4. You've tried all the stuff I can think of, maybe try some other penetrating sprays, but aside from that I'm not sure.
Sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck

 

theres a mod were u can tack weld the part on ur steering column to make it more solid. Heard it makes a hell of a difference. Ill have to pull up the video and post it here. but figured while its all torn apart, right now is the best time to do it

 

wait.... $300 for 4 new sleeves!!!! No way!

 

Already done, but thanks for the advice
Did it when I was at the DTF shop. Anthony was extremely helpful

 

For the sleeves, bolts and concentric washers from the dealership

 

Never realized how much fabwork was actually put into this thing. Makes me love your truck even more!

 

Thanks man! Its been quite a project

 

im so happy youre building this truck.
