Long Travel BS Thread

Exactly why I’m piecing it together! Going to grab most of what I need off Kartek and make my own AN lines.

 

Anyone have some photos of a custom center console they've made? Switching some things up, and what i was hoping to avoid, is becoming inevitable. Ive seen Braedens, which im pulling a bit of inspiration from, but his is a bit more in-depth than mine. Im hoping to only replace the piece that the auto shifter comes through. Essentially pull that out, but leave the cup holders in front, as well as the armrest.

 

If you have any friends to assist
May I offer the suggestion
3D print it
Scan a console you like from a nice car or something and scale/adapt for your needs
Then print it

 

I do have a 3d printer and can CAD whatever I need. No 3d scanner, but its not a very complex area. However im thinking more along the lines of a mostly flat surface. The factory plastic piece being curved wastes a lot of space, and with the narrower PRP seats, I have a few inches of unused space on either side of the console going tomwaste. Also need it to be nice and sturdy. Im redoing the brakes again, and adding individual hand brakes for the rear tires. They'll mount to.whatever I make, which im thinking needs to tie into the seat bolts.

Edit: planning mostly aluminum construction, and I have a bunch of matching grey ostrich from the seats, which i can wrapmsome or all of it in, if the exposed aluminum is too much.

After watching Vegas to Reno this last weekend, I think I want to race. I mean I need to race. Not sure if it was the t shirts that got me hooked or what but it looks so fun.

I want to know from the guys that have a rear mounted rad, if the stock water pump is sufficient enough for that long of distances plumbing

 

Start purchasing your lotto tickets now

 

Realizing all the shit that me and some buddies have, we can make it possible.

1 ram 3500 dually
2 ram 2500s
3 car haulers
3 guys that can weld
Every tool that I've needed
Race truck that has a race ready cage
No brains

 

Shit sounds like I just need to hang out with you

 

We just spend money on the wrong things. Work too much and buy stupid shit

 

I’ve been chasing the dream since 2016 and have still yet to get in the dirt with anything but the Chevy…
I’d blame myself but I’d be lying about who’s fault it is

I’ll have a race truck one day but for now I’ll just live vicariously through your post

 

Good things take time!

 

Unfortunately


It’s gonna be a while

 

I know this has probably been covered a million times, but I would be so fuckin pissed if a shop left my truck outside that is not sealed from water.

 

Don’t forget animals/ cat piss

 

That's horrible. Morgan Clarke right?

 

Until things are handled further I am not going to insinuate or accuse any parties while this issue is being navigated.
At this current time I do not have access to the vehicle or contact with the involved party as they decided to block me.

but be sure
I still plan to continue my efforts to serve the veteran community to the best of my ability even if the truck has been rendered a biohazard

 

Damn

 

in another 2-5 years I'll have space and maybe even time to do a serious dezert race build... or 2.

low-key thinking access cab 2/3 gen taco or 1/2 tundra and hellcat motor/trans would be neat asf

 

I guess that gives me 2-5 years to get good at double passing 4130

 

I just heard someone is working on a billet steering rack for 3rd gens. I was told it's not done yet, but it's been in the works for the last year.

Anyone know who is building it?
