Long Travel BS Thread

Frontline is not doing any right now, only government jobs or some bs

 

See the bumper thread, there's quite a few tube bumpers in there now

 

i heard hes nothing but busy lol

and yeah frontline is all government right now.

i was thinking maybe for kibbe to make me something but ill pay 3x more because its tig

 

only for now I would image. my truck is the only thing that has been keeping him busy. all the parts for the axle should be in today or tomorrow im guessing then from there its on Adam to finish. so it cant be much longer till he is done. tubes seems to be already cut/bent for the cage.

 

i have a question! if i get a bedcage welded in with stock bedsides....will i be able to add glass later? or will it just be hard to install because i cannot remove the bed

 

Bedsides come off with like 8 bolts (can't remember exact number and does not require removing the bed to install them

 

but there is like 4 or something right behind the cab....seems like it would be hard to mark and drill the glass for fitment.

 

Just don't use the for on the front haha. I didn't and it holds good.

 

Pulling the bed on a 2nd gen is basically a must to put bedsides on, there are bolts in the back that unless u have a tiny arm u can't get off. Do bedsides first if u can

 

If you go from the bottom I found it extremely easy to do.

 

bolts for the back of the bed to hold the glass?? do you even have to remove the plastic crap on top of the stocks?

 

I found it extremely easy to use a t55 and pull the 6 bolts and pull the bed off... Haha. If u don't have the option to take the bed off then I'm sure u can find a way to put them on, don't forget if u ever want to box your frame u will probably have to pull your bed for that.

 

Not the plastic top but the metal bed rail things u do

 

yeah they have those lame torx bolts...so how was painting your fenders!!!

 

This. It just takes some awkward positioning. Do it right

 

Got the fronts done, looks good from far hahaha painting the rears now

 

I finally got around to mocking up my bypasses. They are 1 3/16" shorter at full strapped droop than my C/Os. I think I should get the 2" extended rod end for my bypass. The 1" is not enough and the bypass will stop extending out before the strap limits.

Then after that I will need to verify that the 2" rod end doesn't cause the bypass to bottom out before my bumps fully compress.

Is this all correct? Thanks.
