Matt's Long Travel Prerunner build

so, i need to swing by Frontline this week for some small stuff and i'm gonna talk to Karl about building me a new front kit. i want to run some air bumps up front and i'm constantly worried about my bolts breaking again and my lower ball joint killing me...

it's time for some vertical uniballs, up high and down low...

anybody want to buy a 1st gen TC kit with heim steering?

 

Seriously I dont think I even want to know what you would sell it for. I just ordered my camburg kit on friday

 

haha, but shipping the kit to you would be super expensive and would have prob been more money for the kit and shipping than what you just bought your brand new camburg kit for

 

Yeah Ill tell myself that too lol. I think Im gonna get jd2 bender this week too so I can make a bumper to go with the kit and then start building all kinds of stuff

 

Im pretty sure for what you do with it if you bought those solo motorsports spindles you would have nothing to worry about

 

yeah, those solo spindles are super nice, but they are over $2k and then i'm still stuck with not being able to run air bumps unless i strip off the powder coating and weld on some stike pads... too much time and effort.

for the price of the solo spindles i know a few different people that i can get to build me a whole new kit with everything i'm looking for... maybe a bit more travel too.

now i just need to finish up my tax return...

 

Sexy

 

thanks, but it looks kind of retarded at the same time with out the bedsides

 

Only to those not in the scene. To us it's still fine. Looks don't mean anything.

 

Fiberglass is over-rated, I wanna see that sexy LT droop out. Seeing your truck in action is getting me anxious to see my taco on dirt soon.

 

very true, i want to get my new bedsides so i can do the cup holder mod

that will be my fav addition to the truck haha

thanks, how's your SUA coming along? you got all your parts, just trying to find time to work on the truck?

 

I got the hangers mounted today. Cycled the suspension. It's at 22" of travel, so I need to strap it up to 18", and mount the shocks along with a new bedcage. I'm still waiting for my box kit to come it. Kinda thinking that I wished I cut it out myself now. I'll have it on wheels tomorrow so I can roll it into the garage to do better welds. Finally making progress

 

What is the cupholder mod? Literally a cup holder?

 

nice dude, what shocks you gonna run? air bumps?

hellz yeah! beer holders!!!

scoll down the pics

 

Haha nice. I call dibs on one!

 

i hope you like coors light, cause thats my poison... other than jager and jager bottles wont fit in those without proper force

 

Love coors. I'll contribute.

 

Nice truck bro.

 

Yeah I'm running 2.5x16 king smooth bodies, air bumps are on hold until I can afford to do the front
