Long Travel BS Thread

Copy, thanks, I've been wondering what a session costs. I feel like I'm right there at getting it good, but after 15-years of messing with the damn thing it could be better.

 

Wife’s truck is a wrap. Daily driving it myself for the first 500 miles or so to shake it out and break in gears. Then the keys are all hers!

Definitely proud of this one!

 

Does this mean she’s dailying the race truck

 

The stock sport! It’s hard enough to convince her to drive mine when I’m in it.

 

lol my wife is the same way. She wouldn’t even touch my tundra, until one day she had to, and now she would rather drive it than her raptor.

still haven’t gotten her in the driver seat of the taco…

 

I can count on one hand how many times she’s been behind the wheel. She does well with it, but the steering intimidates her. Rightfully so as it takes getting used to.

But she will drive the shit out of hers I’m sure. It’s such a docile truck with a ton of road manners for what it is.

 

Love that road. How was the water flow/level up there?

 

lol when my wife had her accident 2 years ago she had to drive the taco for 3 months while hers was in the body shop because she refuses to learn stick and drive my commuter. She would tell me stories of the looks and comments she would get in parking lots. Now we have the tow rig though as our back up commuter

 

Y'all are fortunate. I can barely get mine into the truck ever since the 5-points went in. She cant stand the extra 10 seconds it takes to buckle up for some reason.

 

Speaking of driving trucks. Drive mine for the first time since redoing the front end with new lcas and spindles. Felt a little twitchy. Checked toe when I got home and it was 1.75” toe in. Is that too much

Lca cams are welded in place so those don’t move. So that’s how fucked things were from 6 years of fatigue and stress.

 

Heim uppers?

 

so rad! cool build.

 

Still tighter than a high school prom date. I’m afraid to take them off at this point lol

 

All the water crossings were dry as a bone. Water level is super low.

I hate this road lol. Way too rocky for my truck, I like to go fast.

also got lost and wound up on top of horseshoe dam thanks to Apple Maps:

 

Oo is that water over the spillway?

 

Yeah but not much. Enough to make it look partly wet

 

Thats interesting. They are holding water in the dam and not letting the river flow like normal.

 

Yeah cause the reservoirs are (relatively) empty

Nice site, Ive been using the usgs version. Horseshoe has an equipment malfunction currently thats why I was curious.
