*RIP* Bijan's #EXPOASF Long Travel Build

I like that bumper favorite hc

 

Same man! I’m working to get the shocks off soon, once they’re off I’ll get you pictures and we’ll go from there!

 

Hey like I said I’m in no hurry the longer the better, I’m excited for your lt is it +2?

 

I might be blind but I didn't catch what color vinyl wrap is on your truck, do you mind sharing?

 

Yes!

Hey man it's Avery Dark Gloss Grey!

Thanks man I might have to copy you on that color!

 

That’ll be awesome, what rear setup is that I’ve been looking at something to match the front looks like that’s pretty good flex for Dakar’s

 

The rear setup is Dakars with an AAL shoved in there, 12" King 2.0 Smoothies, with @desertjunkie760 's shock hoops. I'm being limited just a tad by my leaf springs (maybe an 1-2"). I can honestly say my Dakars do not ride well now since I don't have enough weight, I'll either pull out a leaf or go to Deaver

It's a good color! I will say, however, being wrapped and off roading a lot has its drawbacks. If I had to redo a wrap, I would really do something unique and go crazy; it's expensive and you might as well stick out like a sore thumb haha. The dark grey hides dirt and scratches extremely well but it looks like the Honda/Dodge Grey.

 

I had planned on Dakar’s but I’m worried about their ride too, i figured your truck had plenty of weight with all your stuff.

 

I was having issues with my Dakars due to lack of weight, I pulled one of the overload springs and it’s made a hell of a difference.

 

Yeah I’ll have to do this soon - Just trying to avoid the front being higher than the rear haha! Without the AAL I’ll lose 1.5” or so.

Did you have someone install the wrap for you or did you do it yourself?

 

@Cash13 I had it wrapped by someone local to me, got a deal on it since it was his last wrap in CA

 

I gotcha, I am going to try to do it myself. If it comes out good and I enjoy doing it, I would like to start my own business. So we will see! haha

 

Since there are next to no pictures of me driving, here's one! Some back story: I actually spent ages 16-19ish drifting, racing, doing auto cross, and track days. I was super lucky to have a solid friend group in high school where all we did was build cars. My white subaru was running a Blouch 20g, catless invidia n1 race, 38mm EWG...blah blah made 550hp/650tq to the wheels at 21.5psi on E85. 128 dB loud WOT. The amount of dig races I won...and luckily never destroyed my 5-Speed in that car.

The blue WRX was an absolute GEM. 64k miles, and by far one of my favorite cars I ever owned. I kept it as close to stock as possible. Just a Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust, Protune (to ensure it didn't knock or run lean), and catless DP.

Following this post are a few pictures of my previous cars!

Oh & how could I forget...

I slammed my first car, a Corolla. It was a 5-Speed, and I was too cheap to get a real exhaust, so I just undid the muffler and ran it straight from the cats. This car literally smelled like straight strawberry vape juice

 

It was a beast. I don't think I ever lost a dig race in that car, and the 4' flames it shot out the back on 2-step were ridiculous. One day I'll have something like it again, just from Mitsubishi haha!
