Long Travel BS Thread

Thanks for that. Just ordered a set of the cheapie chinese method race wheels. I figure at $140 a pop they are disposable and won't hurt the wallet when I destroy them.

Also the grabbers have extra meat at the corners of the tread block, but are a little thinner than bfg's in the sidewall and center section.

 

I know sdhq runs method race wheels on their bug and haven't had an issue with them.

 

Bug=2000lbs and slow
Taco=4000lbs and not slow

Pretty sure I'm going to destroy them. Their forged beadlocks might last a little longer, but at $650 a wheel I will never find out for myself. I came to the conclusion that disposable is better for non race applications. Lighter weight, less cost, and I don't have to fuck with replacing broken beadlock bolts.

 

Very true. Have you tried the KMC enduros? they are cheap and some of the thicker wheels that I have seen.

 

Haven't tried them but they're all cast in china and can't take a boulder at 80+mph. I've gone through 8 KM2's and several wheels in the last year or so, and the wheels would have been done even if they were expensive forged pieces.

 

Good deal?

called em it sold in 4 days

 

That thing is really nice. Its probably one of the most low profile Toyotas ever built. It was for sale on Race Dezert for almost a year. The for sale ad is not up anymore though. It had an 80-90k price tag.

 

yeah, i remember seeing the sale ad on RDC and just loving the truck

not a big fan of the T100's but that things is a damn beast

that 100+ jump in the vid put a smile on my face

 

Just wait to see the next truck ESB is going to build.. I practically crapped my pants. If Dan Vances' truck is still a killer this next one will be .

 

what kind of truck they building? toyota?

 

Dang! That T-100 is LOW

 

I've been trying to find a toy

What do you guys think?

Count the triangles lol First would be a new bed cage

 

^ yeah, needs some work, but looks faily decent

if i had the money to buy another truck for a toy, i'd buy a beamed ranger or expo

 

Ay yo matt how's that truck coming

 

still in the shop, taking longer than planned...

that's what happens w/ custom stuff

hopefully i'll have it by thurs-fri

 

If you get it are you going to try and make the K1 meet?

 

Ones for the Tacoma and 4 runners and the other is for a Tundra...

 

i'm gonna try, but even if i have my truck back i'm not sure if i'll have the time
