Long Travel BS Thread

oh damn dude yeah sorry you just got scammed, I saw a super similar thing last year on IG and played with the guy for a week and caught him dead. Hate to point this out now but didn’t you notice that there were no comments on any of his posts …? and every photo is from a different place / different backgrounds etc ?

 

comment “ this is a scam “ on every photo until you get bored…

 

Yeah I only noticed the no comments after I became suspicious. I usually catch these scams earlier but it happens to the best of us.

 

Why the fuck do you buy from a guy/place using underscores on his profile name, clear scam just like emails with numbers
You got screwed buddy, and cause of this the rest of us have hard times getting deals done

 

it’s the same f-n guy i played with last year i started commenting and sent him a msg and he just deleted everything

best part is that IG and FB never do a f-n thing about all of the scammers every time i report a bs ad for $99 - $10k snap on boxes or $99 gibson les pauls they always respond with “ we found nothing wrong “

 

how does it make anything harder for you ?

 

Yeah that's ridiculous. I'm just glad it wasn't a lot of money. I'm more butt hurt I fell for the scam.

 

Same shitbag IG account constantly pops up under a new name like it’s running a bot script, posts a bunch of random Toyota parts, same 3-5 comments from same goofy looking accounts on every post. Scam.

 

did they have any $500 super chargers?

 

so you lost $500 huh …

 

I only get "scammed" by non local fab shops selling bumpers that take 12+ months to build then arrive not fitting and looking like a snowplow. But I'm down for a $500 super charger

 

There are very few IG for-sale pages I would stake money on. Vilmont, RaceDezert, SellOffroad, and then one other prerunner page I forget the name of (they only post 200k+ race builds anyways) are about the only ones I trust. Guy who runs Vilmont is solid and he’s always posting the scam accounts to look out for. I want to say that page that scammed you was one of them.

 

12 months?! Damn lol

 

Last part of the install is mounting the bump cans. What is everyone using for frame mounting the cans? I've seen some universal styles that look like an axle perch you weld on the frame to hold the can.

I have the pinned style bump stop

 

I just fabbed up some plate that worked for my application.

 

I just did some plate as well on my rear.

3 sides.

 

this is what I was planning on using for the rears.

Saw these. Prolly will go this route

 

Scammers make things harder for the rest of us

 

does everyone remove the splash shield when running a BBK?
took advantage of the Powerbrakes sale so I finally have some "bolt-on" mods for once.
