Long Travel BS Thread

thanks guys, we still need to add all gussets, and change up the sandwhich plates a bit. its not going to be score legal anyways so it doesnt need to be perfect. the only major thing i think i would need to change is the a-b pillar tubes

 

MJP2,

Can you dump all the pictures you have of your cage in this thread? I'm starting to plan out my cage and could some examples.

What did you do for the body mounts in order to prevent the cab from flexing and hitting the cage?

 

eric, why are you trying to change your a / b pillar tubes? what happened to your cage man?

 

it was my jackass fault haha, i thought a/b pillar was driver and passenger side haha. it still looks good and im pretty dam positive it would hold up in a roll over, just not race ready you know?

not trying to change them, but if i wanted to race thats the main thing i would need to change.

 

old bumper has a new home now... (johnnie)

 

lets get some detailed pictures eric

 

ill put some on of my phone of what i was talking about. my phone wont send to live anymore so i have to upload them and it takes for ever on the BB

 

shoot them to me in a text. ill post them up for you man.

 

Ive always figured with your style cage mounts that is more than strong enough to double as cab mounts too. Your whole cage is tied in to your cab so it should be fine.

 

i thought the same thing when i left my last cab soft mounted and put a cage in. just hope the sheet metal doesnt start splitting. the only real place i had an issue with splitting was where the cage came out of the back of the cab. yours came through the window so i think you saved yourself from the trouble spot.

 

you also need to plate the cab to the cage in a few spots up top, other wise it will flex and start tearing out the bottem mounts, trust me, seen it happen many times

 

Yeah MJP2 is tied in at least all the way up the a pillar. I was referring to his truck

 

^^^ speaks the truth.

tyler,
whats up with your truck recently? last i heard was the engine work and saw the newer upper arms...

 

Got the supercharger tuned great, thing is FAST now, haha
Made new uppers, took it out this past weekend and broke the spool, how in the hell does that happen? 4130 steel and ripped the whole center out

 

you tend to have bad luck with axles hahaha. i dont know how you destroyed the same locker i threw v8 power through with a v6. hahaha. beyond me.

 

Pin it to win it, haha

 

no kidding man. you must honestly live by that motto hahaha
