Long Travel BS Thread

^ haahaa how do I do this!?!?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


Cool thx for the input guys!!!!

 

My truck is considered LT because it has white bedsides and I always get out of my truck with a cigarette and loud rock music pounding

 

Thats whats up

 

Haahaahaa

 

No that's socal bro! Get Jen to die her hair skunk colored while you sport some dickey's, Tapout T and flick off the camera at every given opportunity, DGAF brotha.

 

saved for tonight's dinner convo, can you post up some pictures for examples?

 

It wasnt those guys but I got that a lot as I began researching more and asking more questions on RDC. So yes guys in the race scene.

Its just words but I will take that into account for my next build. There is no way Im going the beamed Ranger route but I want a platform that has more suspension options.

 

beams = oh shit there goes a corner

 

Yota pickup FTW

beams = Dirty hooker travel

 

yeah i see where your coming from, but long travel is when your arms are longer than stock? correct me if im wrong

 

i have noticed that... if your racing in a rocky area your gonna get some nice dings

 

Yes Sir

Very true. However, I hate Rangers enough that I wont compromise and go beams.

 

I agree, 13" of travel is "midtravel" although some would consider an 8" CO and UCA w/ 1" uniball 'mid' especially compared to race vehicles and trucks which boggles my mind as to why AllPro calls their 12 travel kit LT.

Whatever, it's all the same in the end and it's not always about how much travel you have but about how well that travel is controlled. Kinda like power, just cause a sports car has tons of power doesn't mean its more fun to drive then a Miata.

Just my opinion, which is worth about as much as my own poo, which is actually really expensive and well sought after

 

Haha. No way.

I plan on buying a clean platform and adding a new power train plumbed and wired fresh and all the tube work. Even Krawltex's reputable Class 7 Tacoma has wiring demons. The wiring, power train and suspension seem to have issues when buying someone elses work. It may take a few years to assemble the parts but thats ok.

I think a 93 Yota like Dan Vance's would be killer. A 3.4L or 4.0L would scream in there. 4000lbs fully loaded down and ready to go.

 

a 4.0 in an old pick up would haul. that would be a killer truck. when you gonna start gathering parts? haha

 

wow!! i wonder how much travel that pulls!

 

To sum it up, mid-travel kits consist of a longer shock and a uniball UCA with a stock LCA where the distance on the lower arm has not been extended beyond stock specs.

 

If beams are setup correctly they can handle very well. I think the issue with beams is people don't spends the money on the steering for it to handle good.
