Long Travel BS Thread

ok so i dont have rear brake lights,
do any of you guys have a brake light box thing? sorry dont know what its called.
where did you get yours?
and they are street legal right?

 

hahaha im in the same exact boat. sometimes i wish i went 4.56 but it helps with the little motor

 

I have 4.88's and 33's and I can do 75 in 3rd gear. I have the 5 spd auto though. haha

 

Khris, you have to remember that most of these guys(myself included) on this and other forums dont have the experience you do(insert old people joke here). This may be their first-ish build and just making something work is impressive, it takes something breaking before they realize that it wasn't done right. Add in that some of these guys are doing it to their DD's (maybe a bit scary) so things get done quickly to get to work the next day. More importantly most people dont get to build a truck all at once like "your" race truck or expo, so things dont get planned out as a cohesive unit.

I know for a fact that when I get my truck build going ill be leaving things as close to factory as I can in a lot of areas, because Im nervous about my ignorance and diving in to areas of the build I do not know about and creating unnecessary problems... I think my point is, you are good at educating others, I hope that you continue to do so, kindly, and ignore the donkeys

....remember this was written by a guy with serious trophy truck part envy

 

also, what do you guys suggest for allignment?
98 taco
4x4
camburg ball joint LT up front (old school baby!)
10inch dual rate kings

i remember it being talked about here in detail for pages so if you could link me to that, thatd be great.... i cant find the information

 

Yeah I have one....I think it's street legal lol

 

can you post a picture?
do you use just the box or do you use your stock tails too?
where did you get it?

 

LOL, hurt some tender feelings I see... Oh well but hey, what do I know, never been there or done that. (LOL, no problem with the old age jokes! Age is the least of my concerns) Everything I learned is from what I read online. No point in regurgitating the same ole since everyone already knows better... I'll go back to causing trouble in DR while tossing in a bit of know it all here and there and stop bothering people on this forum.

BTW, I have TT parts envy too! Someday I'll pay a shop to build me something cool! About 7 more years and no more house payment, then I should be able to be cool like the rest with no debt! LOL

Good luck with your wiring or figuring out how to plumb a fuel cell cause gee whiz, that's like rocket science and stuff! Thank god for the internet! Common, you gotta laugh about someone that complains about having to carry some spare fuses though! That shit is funny!!!

 

have fun doing that and stay out of here with all you arrogant sarcastic remarks. that is not needed at all here. some one was just trying to figure out the best way to wire a battery, no need for your bullshit. either stop and add some constructive advice to the conversation or get out. go back to trolling DR, because apparently you're good at that.

 

its 70/30. some times he is helpful as shit, and very positive. other times....well. lol. its all fun and games. zero personal attacks, but did forge that asking questions is a good thing. most of the time lol.

 

I agree. this is sort of my point. its a forum. people are gonna ask questions and when they do, just be respectful and answer the question to your best ability.

 

Lol I just started being able to hit 85-90 with my truck after I have started using 91. Then again that's in 5th gear at 4k rpm lol gotta love 4banger problems

 

You guys jump on one of the few people on this site who actually knows what he is talking about. What a joke.... grow up

 

if he said it differently im sure it would have deen different....

 

Whatever... He goes out of his way to over explain things with huge write ups and tons of pics when someone asks a question. he makes one joking around remark and gets chastised.

 

i agree with you, i really like how he responds with pictures, it really helps, as well as a long explanation.
i was just saying if he didnt say it like that people would have been thankful.
either way its still very good information.

 

Go home landon youre drunk !

Whats up with the drive shaft ? What did you have done to it ?

 

sooo front window and windshield tint.... who has it? and have you had any problems with getting cited for it? our trucks turn heads and that can obviously lead to more police attention, and any amount of tint is illegal.
