Long Travel BS Thread

How are these even remotely legal? And I'm assuming that consent is optional... otherwise what the fuck california

 

I take it you are linking your truck? Bring an axle shaft along to check for warpage in the housing. What width is it ? You will have to go off of the existing mounts to get your frame side mounting location. On second thought, it will be hard to find warpage with out a 3rd member in there.

 

That's the plan when I eventually have the cash. 4-Link. Need the front to match my 3.5"+ LT. 4.88 /ARB Locker, Trussed w/Diff Armor, Disc Brakes Etc. Was going to build new but after looking at the price.. So if I can find a deal on a used one. Who knows the history on that thing but if I can build it up with new intenals.

 

Hmm. I have a 65" housing, spooled with 4.88s, currie axles , disc brakes and a sportsman case... I want to build a fabricated housing that will get me at 84"

 

I am having a clicking sound in my front end. Do you guys think that the bushings below could be the problem? They don't look right. These are from the LCA on a +2" kit.

Do these Chp things look like a portable dyno roller with a bunch of white vans and some dude with the a laptop station with millions of wires running to it? I saw one around the corner from my house the other day and was confused, it took up the far right lane and had cones to make you go slow by it in the left lane

 

Is it when in reverse and wheels at it close to lock? That's when I have a clicking/ ticking noise

 

Too much grease pumped into those lowers Dean(try and take the zerk out or pop the nip and let it drain if there's pressure in there). Not sure if that's your culprit though. I feel your pain, i hate chasing clicks! Currently just living with one

 

I have a torn CV boot that has lost enough grease now, that it has a nasty clean while turning in 4wd...

 

Dont ever cage your truck then... lol

I feel like im driving a typewriter sometimes

 

Haha yep and stay away from bypasses

 

Consent is optional, but they won't tell you that at the stop. They can always come up with some BS reason to get a warrant and take your truck apart with a sawzall if you don't "consent". Yet another reason I moved. In Eastern Oregon it is so rare to see a cop I always wave when I see one, and he waves back! I've been up here for a few years and haven't been pulled over, harassed, or otherwise probed for any reason. In socal I got pulled over at least once a month. Well, you know what it's like, you live there.

 

click click.........click click

 

More like click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click click



Its actually not bad at all for DD'ing. Only clicks over speedbumps for me.


But offroading its intense. I think its pretty cool in a way. I know its gonna be intense when I attach my cab cage to the engine cage.

I got tired of the clicking and removed the uniball from the shock end and used half a bushing to insulate the frame side of the bypass. It actually worked, and is pleasant to drive again. I have about 10K on them miles, no problems so far.

 

Yeah im actually contemplating Oregon for spring of next year, have some family up there and it seems like a nice place to live. CA is cool and all but I sure do get tired of all the b.s. sometimes. Thats crazy though, I've never seen one of those checkpoints. Pretty ridiculous.

 

Oregon is pretty bad ass man. Dunes, trails, desert, mountains...ok the beach sucks compared to socal, but we don't have any sales tax!

 

You don't have income tax either do you?

 

Ehh, i'll take freedom over being able to go from the mountains to dry no-where.

I actually had a cop wave at me the other day, first time i've ever been waved at by a cop that wasn't on traffic duty (in CA)

I think that's WA that doesn't have income tax

 

Yes, yes we do have income tax, but it's not as high as California.
