Long Travel BS Thread

Don't know and don't care. SCORE is a joke now and has been for a while. So many huge teams are stepping away. Just heard one of the biggest is not racing next season and doesn't know if they will ever again

 

That's one of a million reasons, and it's not just SCORE's fault, the participants are all assholes now and the country has gone to shit

 

So how do you feel about the merger with HDRA?

 

! Sorry man, Didnt even see this.

I'm pretty much shop bitch (wrenching) right now til I learn to weld (skillfully), which has been hard to do since im working a 9-5 job and school. Ill get to it soon! Hopefully to really dive in when school ends.

And jason, I was mistaken.. Its not an articat, its a can-am

 

Remember when we used to go to Gorman?

When I pushed that tire off the bead, reseated it with air, then forgot to torque the lug nuts I broke loose in anticipation of having to change the tire. Damn wheel nearly fell off. I can't believe that guy on the dirtbike found all those lugs nuts and brought them back, that saved my ass from having to call a tow truck.

I still have that video of you on my youtube jumping that berm.

First time I met people from TW was on this run

 

Yea I don't understand why anyone in their right mind travels to that country unarmed. I think that's fucking crazy and I volunteered to go to Afghanistan.

Especially when they're flaunting money like that, the race teams... soft, lucrative targets.

 

Damn I missed some good DR style drama in here lately

 

LOL!!!

 

most of the large big name teams have some sort of security when the race south of the border, most just choose to not publicize it. There really hasn't been a 'major' incident in a few years. You have to understand that Baja is an entirely different place than mainland Mexico. Yes, there is still some of the border violence and the cartels control some of the area on the north end but once you get away from the 'hot zone' if you will it really is an absolutely awesome place to visit, wheel and see. Just be sure to bring a bunch of stickers, theyre like currency

 

helping a friend look for some 3.0x14in COs (with or w/o springs, doesnt matter). if you guys happen to stumble across some just browsing around let me know.

 

Tell Steve he needs to get some more pics of your truck

And will keep an eye out

 

hahaha i know!! im not trying to bother him at all though. im hoping to be driving it home on friday and take it to pismo saturday


thanks man, i appreciate it.

 

That's awesome

 

Waiting to see some sweet spindles from you

 

Last of the material should be here tomorrow

Helped install a Engage kit yesterday. Uhhh now I know why they're the "cheapest" kit around. Talk about shitty fitment we had to modify almost every part just get it to work. Which included grinding down the LCAs because they where about 1/2" too wide. I'll leave it at that I could go on and on but I'm not looking to start drama

EDIT: NVM We had to cut the "heim spacers" because they where longer than the bolt, the lower uni-ball adapters were crooked, one of the coil hats was too tight to fit the coil over, the spindle gussets didn't fit for shit even after a decent amount of grinding, and the welds looked good enough but no signs of internal gusseting.

It was a pain but at least it's on the truck and should be fine.

 

Those are just words I dont like when my life or those around me are at stake...

 

The MCM Fabrication Tacoma/Tundra race kit is now OFFICIALLY a race kit! We put the truck to the test Saturday at the HDRA Vegas 250 and it worked amazingly well. Unfortunately we crossed the line on our third and final lap 7 minutes past the 8 hour cut off as a result of non suspension related issues so we technically DNF'd but the truck ate up everything we could throw at it and there was definitely some big stuff out there!

Quick little action here at the 7 min mark of my wife and I passing the other truck in our class at the start of the first lap. Thanks again Matt for the quality work!

Trust me I would let Jordan drive on it if it worried me that much. It was just a stupid set up. I've had my opinions about their work in the past and this was the last nail in the coffin. I will never suggest any of their products to anybody ever period.

 

id be requesting a new kit if it had fitment issues like that.
