boosted98gst Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Anyone here have any info on building any first hand? I went to 29palms with a few buddys few months back, and rode shotgun in a longtravel toyota truck, prolly was the most fun ive had in a long time. We have so many places to ride around here . here is what im looking for 1.) The truck has to be able to be street worthy. im not trying to race in the baja 500, but not used as a daily driver. 2.) truck has to be somewhat newer, im not messing around with someone elses hack job or wore out pos 3) I want to be able to have fun with the truck on the weekends without it breaking everytime. 4.) Truck has to be 4wd and keep it, I go to bigbear in the winter alot so 4wd is a must. Any help would be great. I am just looking for a good starting point in trucks, and suspension .

evil8 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Look for a Ranger, they are the cheapest with the most abundant aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah ive checked out a few rangers, but most of them are already hacked up by bro's and desert rats lol Ill just keep looking, its prolly going to end up being a toyota this place is loaded with them, unless I can find a nice ranger before then.

Ry_Trapp01647545522 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't have any first hand experience, but I've heard that most of these long travel trucks need front end alignments on a regular bases. A TTB-equipped Ford Ranger('83-'97) is definitely the cheapest and most durable way to get into long travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
