Long Travel BS Thread

After the first day in my shop Shawn was pretty proficient at notching and bending. His welds improved a ton too

 

you first! oh wait..............

haha look at anthonys build thread, i did the bump cans and that was a long time ago...
i don't really care enough to go outside and take pictures of the bumper i started this weekend or how i solid mounted the lowers and fixed and plated the crossmember, especially for someone who has 35k into a single cab hahahaha

 

I guess this turned into the anything welding thread

 

idk why this is quickly derailing into a welding circle jerk

if you can stick metal together good enough for it to stay, perfecting it will come with practice and learning.
the point is you build something yourself, so you can fix it yourself, because you will likely break it yourself
don't be scared to start because naysayers tell you equipment is too expensive or its too hard... its the best decision you can make, there will always be something to build better or gusset on your truck, and you'll save a lot and learn even more not taking it to a shop

tldr; invest in yourself, and the ridiculously destructive and snowballing hobby you're getting into

 

On another note my truck should be driving by Friday, I'm putting the carpet in and bolting the seats in tonight

 

so then 48....? you aren't really doing a good job of refuting my point

 

Sorry for my ignorance, I'm guessing you're putting in the cage?

 

That's sexy. I like how you left room to get stuff into the back part of the cab. Even got fancy and painted it!

 

Thanks, yeah I'm building slide out storage bins on heavy duty shelf sliders for all my tools and gear

 

Nice Work Supermoto!

 

That's smart. I hate pilfering through stuff out of that part of the cab. I took a digger a couple years ago and a toolbox puked back there. Tools randomly appear in whoop sections now.

 

Thats fancy man, what seats are those? I'm still between sparco or corbeau

 

They are corbeau FX1s for the front two and a FX1 pro for the rear seat.

 

Got any closeups? Liking those better

 

Are they leather or cloth?

 

Cloth, they also make them in micro suede
