Long Travel BS Thread

Yes....): looks like it was a pinch weld maybe

 

are your seats mounted to tubes, or into the cab?

 

Mounted to the cage

 

what's even back there? maybe the cab needs more plating to the cage?

 

The guy before me had a battery and a sub and it kinda crushed the floor so I think that's why...I think so too, I just can't stand Welding that thin shit. Still need to connect the c pillar to the frame

 

I have nothing back there now

 

Plate it. These cabs split. You can plate it with 12 or 14 gauge to keep it from spreading.

 

If I plate it in will it continue to spread to the other side ?

 

I know about people needing a slip yoke on 2wd trucks, but us 4wd guys, driveline has a slip yoke, am I gunna have to modify my driveline going to this spring under stuff?

 

I'd plate all the way across the back along the seam.

Even though it only goes for about 8 inches? It stops at the hump in the middle

Would you plate it by just laying a plate flat on the ground and butting it up against the wall?

 

Maybe a little more than 8" lol

 

oh dude i have for sure seen you. i drool over your truck haha!!
were you camped in wash 4 on halloween?
theres another truck that looks just like yours out there all the time i think as well.

 

Is that before or after the cage? Mine was splitting pretty bad before I caged it, but when I caged it I just sealed it and it stopped. How many spots is the cage plated to the cab?

 

I think it happened before...it wa alike that before I got the truck...it's played at the a pillar and the b pillar...also in the 4 spots it goes through the floor...and also 4 times in the back where the tubes connect to the bedcage....I'm trying to figure out where to even land my c pillar...was considering removing the body mount, welding a plate on top and landing it there

 

Thanks! Yep that's where I was at the socal tundra dudes were really close to us too. You were flying right by our camp haha. It might be bonzen I know he's usually out there.

Seen a couple tacos over time even stock that start to crack/split all in the back of the cab but not not much.

 

nice im always camped right there in wash 4. i was right on the other side of the tundras camp closer to the dunes. thats where ill be the whole week of thanksgiving as well!!

yeah bonzens is the one i have seen out there most... but i have seen yours for sure. very very similar trucks haha.
