Long Travel BS Thread

Yea Matt will be closest to you out of the people here i think..

 

We'll be at the Mint, racing the Tacoma in 7100. Will be there for a week, come say hey if you see us.

 

For anyone interested, there are a couple of new Class 2000 social media accounts to keep up with all the action this year. 17 trucks took the green at BAP, a handful of trucks near completion...should be a lot of great leaf sprung action all year!

can someone do me a favor and point me to this guys build thread,thanks.

 

For you LT guys, what kind of jack do you guys use to jack up your trucks? Im looking for something bed mounted. I have spindles so although my suspension doesn't droop out more than most people, it requires a taller lift to get the tires off the ground. My lowers are nearly strait so I cant jack from the LCAs. Suggestions?

 

actually figuring out that tonight. got a lil to last night

damn. gotta be aware of surrounding down there more than usual or what?

niiice.

ill be sure to find you guys. ill be the dude on crutches

 

weld a little nub on the lowers so you have a jack point from the LCA. its pretty handy to say the least and its never slipped off for me.


edit: or carry a wood block with you?? its cheap and works hahah

 

Was thinking about having a local fab shop here in AZ to make me an extension for a 2 ton HF jack. That's a good idea for the lowers. Thanks man

 

Whats a good solution to eliminate the shadow that LED bars cast i have Rigid D2 duallys and a 20" combo bar along with fx-r projectors, if i switch to a 20" hyper spot and add some A pillar lights would that angle eliminate the shadow?

 

Im so stoked for the mint. I've done different parts of the course, Its so gnarley.

Last week Rob Mac was in Jean testing Steve Olliges's truck and they were fllyying.

 

Yeah man, not a problem

The one thing im trying to avoid lol

 

built this with a 30 buck pep boys special and got myself and a friend unstuck out of sand dunes out in Glamis, super glad i had it! It wedges in the rear foot well but will bed cage mount it later.

 

It's Mexico... The roads/hazards aren't clearly marked a lot of the time and even when they are, the boundaries are more or less suggestions for the drivers down there.

That and come race day, the chase teams have their own races between pits. Just what happens when you mix open chase/pit and Mexican law or lack thereof.

 

Going to have a 1st gen TC kit available in a couple weeks if anyone knows someone looking for a used kit. We are swapping out for one of my kits

 

Finally remembered my gopro, just started going through it
