Long Travel BS Thread

Rear steer ftl

 

Two years later, finally joining this so called long travel band wagon..

 

plans for the rear?

 

if i run into a replacement pack, ill pick it up.... going straight to links. Not messing with springs.

 

sounds like a man with a plan! the giant links like shawn and landon?

 

indeed haha Yep, ill have btf do something similar.

 

Oh ok I thought there was something I missed.

 

I really wish Howe would put out a bolt in application rack for our trucks.

 

And it will never happen. I have talked with Jeff Howe on several occasions, Bobby at solo said he had as well.

The liabilities are too high considering how many people still DD their LT trucks

 

How is this a problem? Wouldn't them dailying it also put more miles on it, meaning more $$$ for them?

 

cause if something happened and the steering went out on the street.....they are liable.

 

They shouldn't though, owner of the vehicle should (used loosely because common sense ain't too common) be aware of what kind of abuse they put their vehicles through and what to look for. If anything, their name would be held liable.

 

Really? You don't say.

I honestly fear for America in that aspect. People can't take accountability for anything anymore.

That's like trying to say Goodrich should be sued anytime a blow out happens from neglect by the owner.

 

You get your bezel?

 

Do you not remember the Firestone recall in the early 90s

 

Lol, that's not what stefferston is talking about.

 

I do not, mainly because I was still a (younger) child lol.

I don't see everyone and their mother putting one on though, mainly people who would actually need them. Steering racks aren't exactly a commonly changed item for most people.

 

Couldn't they just stamp or market it as "offroad use only" or something?

So has anyone done the "rack slider" on a 1st gen taco?
