Long Travel BS Thread

DD is fine. i didnt cut or trim anything other than the dumb pinch weld. im on 315s and have had no problems.

 

Going to start building my internal cage tomorrow but had a few questions. Did you guys with cages mount them to the floor or go to the frame? And how did you run a tube down the rear behind the rear seat? Looks like I could trim the plastic backing but I'm not sure.

 

No point to a cage unless you weld it to the frame

 

Yeah man, that's what I thought I read somewhere. If you're not at full turn and stuff you should be ok. I say 35s but was actually going to go your same route, 315s.

 

yea ive never rubbed unless it was full stuff and turn, but thats only like maybe once or twice ive had the LT. i was gonan go with true 35 radial treps but ended up ordering some 315 deegan 38s

 

Think I'm going with the KO2s.

 

that was my last resort lol ive had 3 sets of the maxxis so this time i decided to change it up with the deegans. my buddy has 37" ko2s on his jeep and those things are pretty gnarly aslo

 

If you are asking if you should tie a cage to the floor. That makes me question whether you know what you are doing. No offense

 

What are you guys using for shipping large items? I'm using Fastenal for third-party Logistics, but they're kind of rubbing me the wrong way lately. I'm looking to save a little money as well as they are a bit expensive

 

Find a local shipping agent that will shop quotes for you between a number of carriers. Easiest way to do it, they do all the leg work and send you labels and a bill of Lading when it's ready to rock. Send me a PM

 

None taken, that's the thing is this is my first cage and I've heard of people going to the floor and I know the frame is better. I should've asked how you guys went to the frame. Did you use a gasket on the floor for the pipe to go through? I'm having a friend that's done a shit ton of cages help me but he's never done and internal, he just makes strictly off road trucks that don't have cabs.

 

We use Unishippers at my work and they have been the cheapest so far. They broker the freight so they multiple companies to get the price lower.

 

I cut a big square . Welded the tube . Then plated it in with 16g....use cardboard templates lol

 

Depends on how you want to go with it. I'm cutting a hole through my floor and bending a 90 to the side of the frame. I'm going to plate back over my hole and lay carpet bask on the floor

 

Did you use a rubber bushing or anything. If not, does the cage vibrate.

 

Long travel

 

The way I see it. If you want to actually fully use it. Tub it. You won't have to do much due to the lt.

I used 22ga

 

Look at GSO it's like 100$ for any pallet. Ca/Arizona/Nevada only though

 

The cab is tied to the cage in multiple places. You could say it's loud lol

 

Yeah man, if I can avoid it I will. I got the, "holy crap, I just worked my ass off to put in rear LT syndrome." Lol.
