Long Travel BS Thread

I'm just saying there is more than just the age and a newer lightly updated model available. Completely different vehicles at this point. Not apples to apples.

 

The problem with selling a built truck is its cash money. No bank is gonna finance any vehicle with over 110k on clock.

 

good thing my truck has 96,000 on it hahaha

 

Well only credit union will. Big bank only go up to 75k

 

I never thought about it like that. Good point about 3rd Gens. I sold both my 2nd Gens for around $30k but they were still considered "newish trucks" at the time.

If I ever sold my 1st Gen, I would probably be better off parting it out than selling the whole truck. Otherwise I would only get between $10-12k.

 

dibs on rear shocks lol

 

Glad I'm at 76,000!

 

My truck maybe has 4000 miles on it since we finished it haha

 

I put 2500 miles on my truck last year between October 2014 and January 2016. 2000 of those must have been just driving to the material supplier and back. Some perks from working at home lol

 

I hear you, I drove it 5600 miles last year and this is my daily driver (I work from home and can walk to most things). Might only have 500 dirt miles in the past 2 years.

 

its pretty easy when it just sits in the garage 95% of the time looking sad. You know its bad when you feel the need to start it every couple of weeks just to burn off some fuel

 

I know what you mean. I had an Optima redtop in my GMC that I bought new in 2004. That battery has lasted me 12 years. I wasn't driving the truck often enough this last the three months to where the low-frequency starts as well as the old as battery, I finally had to break down and buy a new one. And immediately after that my ex wife took half the truck so I had to sell it lol

 

The guy said hes interested, check your pms

 

Haha. I wouldn't part it out unless I lawn dart it and destroy the truck.

 

we can arrange that huckfest 2016 lol ill be on the sidelines with my tools ready lol

 

It would be a cold day in hell before I competed in Huckfest or Jump Champs. I'm not into that scene. I would cheer for anyone in a Toyota but the return on investment doesn't work for me. I'm just a scrub in this game. Lol

 

Disregard, took a tape measure to it and it won't work out like I was hoping.

Trying to reclaim some bed space.

 

And here's a dumb question... how poorly would a 2.0 air shock perform on the rear end, when used with a SUA set up?

The reason(s) I ask...

- I would really like to be able to run snow chains, and the bypasses don't offer the clearance. The air shocks are much smaller in diameter.
- The load in the bed of the truck ranges from 100-500 pounds. I would like to be able to adjust the air shock PSI to match the load.

 

BAMF has their relocation kit that allows for 12" inside the wheel wells. That's what i'm running and 14" would be a very tight squeeze in there

 

Yea, I'd be giving up a few inches of travel more than I'd like to if I went with a 12" shock.
