Long Travel BS Thread

I remember seein something about it from guys that live on the coast, maybe someone else will chime in

 

You shouldn't have ever cleaned them with a flap disk

 

If they salt the roads you'll want to wash them off as soon as you get back. Otherwise, you should be good to go.

 

They will rust. I use this crap on them. Seems to work ok. If you flap disked the shock body you removed any coating that was on them...

 

Yea that was a kiss of death to do that really.

 

yea i didn't personally do it lol i went to pick them up and was like wtf.... no biggy shit happens. thanks for the advice ill give these a try

 

Or like a hi temp clear coat... If there is such a thing, they're zinc coated, grey or white scotchbrite Max lol

 

this question gets asked every single winter

the answer is the same every single winter

FLUID FILM, FLUID FILM, FLUID FILM

 

I got a big box today

 

re doing my shock towers in the rear today, and suggestions on how close the shock should be to the frame?

 

Sweet! What size?

 

As close without touching the frame at full articulation.

 

thanks man, kinda obvious but just wanted to be sure lol, ill post pics up later of how it turns out

 

Cycle cycle cycle. Then cycle once more.

 

It's a 32 gallon.

 

just throw this out, just to get the idea, im using ruffstuff 1.25 shock towers, its on their website to see how im doing this, what would you suggest as far as mounting the towers to the frame? should i saddle cut the towers and do it like bypass towers, or do wings plating like bump stop cans? reason i ask if in some matter that i have some problem id be easier to cut out, move and weld again than fighting the around the saddle cuts, sorry if that doesnt make sense lol shock is just leaning against the bed so dont put me on blast lol

 

Any gypsy tricks to replacing a CV boot or do I really have to break the CV apart again?

 

Break the cv apart #2ndgenprobs

 

Broke ground on my bedcage today! Happy thanksgiving dudes!

 

Ok guys, heres my current parts list either sitting in the garage, or paid for and en route, can anyone think of anything else I might need for the build?
