Long Travel BS Thread

Hey hippiglass, i am the owner of roadrunner fiberglass. We make the bedsides with a 4.5" bulge and can have them ready for you buy next wednesday or thursday. Feel free to email us at roadrunnerfiberglass@gmail.com.

 

No need to wait that long if you go woth roadrunner fiberglass. We can usually have them ready in one week tops. Feel free to email me at roadrunnerfiberglass@gmail.com

 

Is that like Fiberwerx/Glassworks saying they'll have glass ready in 2-3 weeks?

 

still have it, testing out this led bar first to see how I like it

 

Negative... They have a much more heavier workload than we do... Max time for us is from 2-7 business days... Someone put in a order yesterday for a one-piece clip yesterday and it will be done Tuesday or Wednesday. Now, if it involves shipping, that can take up another week depending on where you are at...

 

I will vouch for roadrunner and say they had my bedsides ready in 1 week on the exact day they said they would...I wasn't sure about them since all I found was old threads on DR but yeah absolutely no complaints. Great customer service, quick turn around, and minimal trimming to get them to fit...this was compared to my fiberwerx I got for karate that were a nigggghtmare to fit and never quite fit right.

The fiberwerx fiberglass did seem a little thicker but nothing crazy and the roadrunner glass has some rubber coating (like bedliner) on the inside when you get them , haven't had a problem with it yet. Would order from them again.

 

Anybody have pics of roadrunner Glass on a 2nd gen?

 

Second this. Omar (the owner) went out of his way and answered any and all questions I had thru FB.

 

I am all for glassworks

 

was gonna grab some glassworks cause they had a pair in stock and they a like a hr away.. but they had flat top bedsides and i was lookin for TT

 

I have more pics of getting them mounted up in my build thread before I got them painted

 

Got the rear bar wired. It's a lot brighter than I thought. Was gonna run the "brake" on the street but I think it's too bright lol

 

hey at what point would you consider getting taller seats like 2" taller or 4 " taller with prp seats? im 6'1" kinda thinkin I should get a lil bit taller than normal seats?

 

In regard to safety the headrest just needs to hit the back of your head to protect you properly from a rear end collision. When I was looking for seats I found it quite challenging to find something with the proper width and height...Corbeau has all of the dimensions listed on the site and I suggest you pay very close attention the the widths listed for two reasons :

1. A lot of the models come in regular and wide versions however the wide versions may not fit between the door panel and the center console.

2. A lot of the seats appear to be designed for 5' tall 90lb Asian women driving Honda Civics... There were a couple models of the Corbeau's that when I looked at the dimensions would have had my legs pinned together between the thigh bolsters and I don't think my back would have settled back in between the shoulder bolsters.

 

Another important part of seat sizing is the location of the cutouts for the shoulder straps. Improper shoulder strap angle can destroy your back in the event that the restraints are used.

I have corbeau's in my truck now ( paid $400 with Tacoma brackets) they are decent, but I'm hoping to upgrade to the higher end beards when I cage my truck. I've run most of the major brand seats in track cars and most companies can be very helpful in sizing you in proper seats with a few simple measurements.

 

Does anyone have a passenger side 00-06 Toyota Tundra spindle laying around? Or have a line on getting one? Been calling around all of the local wrecking yards...

 

Have you tried calling cal mini trucks? I've bout a Tacoma spindle there when I was in a bind. Price was crazy and they charged me a core charge (which I had never heard of) but they had it

 

Cal mini can suck mine, they're a great place to sell parts to but a terrible place to buy from. Im waiting on a call back from another local yard and they are on ebay, and after looking into it I think the tundra and 6 lug tacoma spindles are identical... can anyone confirm?

 

They share the same suspension right?

 

Ive got a pair of 6 lug spindles off a 99 Taco, not sure if the guy is gonna pick them up today or not though.
