Long Travel BS Thread

I agree, some of the fastest trucks on racing a few years ago started out as junkyard vehicles. I know for a fact heltons did and I think Dan vances truck did as well....if I were to do it over I would have bought an older truck. Instead of gutting my 01

 

Thats what I was looking for. Thank you. I figured there would have to be a ton more work to the front suspension to handle that power. Ive decided to wait on the engine. Thanks for the input yeah I guess its not the smartest route for racing but I already have a good amount into the truck. Will my truck perform like shit If I have a bolt on kit and links in the rear? Or will I have to have a center pivot for the front to be even close?

I dont have the luxury of going to all these races and swap meets to get to learn sorry for the noobness.

 

i can't understand why someone would try and sell something that looked like this

You can get by with a bolt on kit and links. Downfall to most of the bolt on kits is they use the stock spindle and lower balljoint. Dan Vance is basically using a bolt on tc kit on his pretacoma but it is a race kit.

 

People on DR talked so much crap to that guy. He clearly has no clue what he is doing when building suspension.

 

How strong are fiberglass bedsides, are any of you concerned with sitting on them like getting ready to go riding?

 

IMO fiberglass is too damn expensive to risk damaging trying to sit on it. It will for sure crack the gel coat.

 

Its not super fragile, but couldn't handle someone sitting on them.

 

I have some sweet spider cracks in my bedsides after accidentally setting my cooler down on them only to hear the glass start to crack.

 

if i got 2.0 fox bump cans, will any 2.0 bump stop work?

 

Yes

 

thanks, i figured so lol

 

What'd I miss in the BS section this weekend...

 

Well< My Front fenders went on, your truck got a new rear bumper and and and and, i dont know what else

 

I got a new rear bumper?! whaat?!

lmfao

 

Hahaha. My dad was just haggling me about how after my truck is all done, He will still be able to "whoop me" in the desert.. What do you guys think.. The raptor is sick, But his is still stock, Its obviously fast as hell, But the stock travel is still like 13 inches of usable travel, right?

 

wow they have 13 feet of wheel travel?

 

" comonnnn.. lol

 

Is the 13 feet of travel for those 20 foot whoops?
