Long Travel BS Thread

SEMA fails are the best. cant beleive those vehicles get spots over actual useable and capable vehicles...

 

Spent the four day in Moab, UT with a good friend. Ran poison spider trail in the tacoma, plus a few other lesser difficulty trails, and had some fun climbing, rappelling, and rope bridge.

 

new seats for the truck and the truck is at that frame shop getting fix time to get back at it

 

engine cage idea

 

trying to figure out a cool idea for a roll cage

 

I really like the rear "roll bar" idea. That combined with a higher front bumper would provide roll over protection for the occupants while at the same time give the interior safe on-road protection by not having the roll cage next to your head.

 

I might just do that because Im only a single cab and i think it would look sick too
old pic of the truck but you can see the back of it.

 

If anyone has some more ideas let me know

 

Bedcage just make sure you leave the ability to get the engine in and out and don't make it more of a pita for yourself. That one looks pretty cool, I like it

 

This is my buddies truck before he sold it. I always like the bumper/roll bar placement.

 

any other photos ? looks good

 

I think single cabs look pretty decent with an exo cage. Here’s the allpro black Betty truck.



I was originally going to do something like this for mine, but went with an interior cage.

 

Not sure if asked before.
Which/what nitrogen setup are you using to refill the shocks? I'm gonna cycle my front LT soon, first time doing it, shocks and bump stops.

Has anyone tried filling up a bottle at welding gas supply, and buy gauge/regulator/hose separate? Is it cheaper going this route?

Cheapest package I've seen is $325.

Also, is there any DIY around I can read/watch to give me an idea?

 

Hot damn that thing gives me a chubby. That thing looks sick!

 

That's what I did. I bought the hose and regulator from Amazon, and a small bottle from gas supply. I only have a tire chuck on the hose but the loss isn't that significant imo. On a side note, once your buddies know you have a bottle you become popular. Just charge them $1 per shock and put that money towards a bigger bottle next time.

 

I already have an extra tank with CO2 in it, I wonder if gas supply would be down to purge it and fill it with nitrogen.

 

The majority of welding supply places don’t fill bottles on site. They will just swap your co2 tank with a bottle of nitrogen

 

Mine does. I know they can purge my C75 bottle and fill with 100% argon. Already asked.

 

California Tool & Welding Supply??

 

Dis you add a valve or did it come with it?
