Long Travel BS Thread

I hated having my spare in the rear of the bed. It’s nice for weight distribution but a pain when loading/unloading anything into the bed. A swingout wouldn’t be bad if you went that route though. I personally think option 1 would be a decent setup.

 

Yeah option 3 in the rear would be on a swingout. Option 1 in the front would be on a hinge to either lift up or lift vertical to access storage in front of it. Though @tubbsisland mentioned a hatch to put it under the bed and it made me think of your storage area. Curious to see if he can find pictures because I'm liking that idea the more I think about it

 

Had a solid trip out to JV this weekend... Truck ran bitchen no issues other than pinion seal leaking.

Joel's Tacoma pretty bad ass






We had a few trucks with us.

Tweakers excavating the room under Giant Rock.

So decided it would be a swell idea to put together a little jump contest for tacos. Some of the guys scouted out a jump at the bottom of Chocolate Thunder. Around dusk we loaded up the grill and rolled out and set up shop. cooked 15 lbs of meat probably something like 150 tacos haha... Good times.

Said meat.





Ended up being pretty epic lol I was cooking the whole time so i didnt get any photos of jumps. This is the only video posted up so far. Some of the guys sent it



Carry on discussing what type of wheel spacers Bob's son is running.

A hatch to put it under the bed would be sick. Depending on what size tire you are running you’ll definitely have to loose the rear portion of the frame rails and fab a wider base. It would definitely be nice to not have it in the bed.

 

Yeah I'll definitely have to crawl under and do some measuring. I'm at 35's now but planning on getting a dd soon so 37's are likely my next tire size and I'm definitely going to make sure whatever I do, will have room for a larger tire.

 

That kicker at the bottom of CT is perfect.

 

Im learning, "obi one"
Got a bottle finally, starting to play with the forces. Mainly to learn to do body work. As the wifes camero needs new floor pans. My truck will be my learning tool.lol shhh.

 

Can 2" stroke bumpstops be converted to 4"?

 

2 to 4 no. 4 to 2 yes

 

Fack

 

Not everyone has a steady hand. Like painting a wall. If you cant cut in a straight line then its not for you. Definitely an art to welding, takes lots of practice, learning, and a steady hand. Im slowly learning. Getting better. But not that good yet.

 

You're dmz right? Only need 2-2.5 for leafs. I shortened my 4" down to around 2" recently and it's way better

 

Exactly. Gotta pick your battles. I can weld and I trust them to hold but I also know I have friends who are 1000000x better than me at it. I picked my trade, they picked theirs and as such I have no issues paying them to burn shit on instead of doing it myself. Just because you can do something, doesn't always mean you should.

 

I wish i had freinds that were a 1000000x times better. Dam the must be pros.
Im pretty new and mine dont look to bad.
Not pro,but not horrible.
Its a good point to learn. But if yoh can afford to pay others,
Thats awsome for you.but not an option for me. Im always on a budget. So i must learn to do my own. To many hobbies.

 

@JordanSmith127 i see you creepin' dude. When are you gunna buy your truck back so you can be the 1st and like 400th owner

edit: totally kidding, i saw you got a new one

 

New floor pans?... like too much boost in fast and furious?? Lol

 

It was her Dads Camaro that set in the back yard rusting away for 30 yrs. blown motor, rusted floor pans needs new front clip, basically a pile of shit. She has high hopes of me one day restoring it for her. I think in the next yr or so I may start really go at it.

 

Pull your truck into the barn and work on it for a year while drinking beer and watching porno...order one of these...take it out of the crate...throw some dust on it...bring the wife into the barn and show her " all the work you've done " ....evil genius
