Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone know if the top hat bolt pattern is the same on 1st and 2nd gens for shocks?

Wanting to poet in on the DD engine cage setup gb

 

Hey fellas, the link below is for a GB on Dirt Designs shock bucket top brackets for an engine cross over. Thanks Steve for hooking us up! @dirt designs

It is.

Edit- I don't know if all the bolts are in the same orientation though.

 

Ooo that's a good point. I thought they were the same pattern. But didn't think that.

 

To follow up on the gear discussion, was at 2230 RPMs (scangauge) at 65 MPH (GPS) today. 4.88 / 35's / 5 speed auto

Not that it matters, but that was in four wheel drive.

 

That's really cool. Steve is fucking awesome.

 

Do a quick pop up to 80 for me one day

Please.

 

Yea he said he would do the same deal for 1st gen guys!

So who all wants in? 1st gen coil bucket brace? Its not the tube just the mounts.

 

Awesome thanks. Sounds like 4.88s will be the choice then.

 

5.56 is my personal preference.

 

Those brackets are cool, I didnt know anyone offered something like that. I might have to get in on that group buy

 

Dakota wants those....

 

Come on 1st gens!

 

I'd be in after the holidays. Although I'm pretty sure 3rd gen 4Runner's have a different orientation too

 

I'm the last guy to defend all pro's LT kit. I tell everyone to get the TC kit... (which wasn't out when I bought mine, and I didn't know better back then anyways).

But that's hard to blame all pro with that hokie shit welded up to the bump strike area.

If my AP kit snapped... I'd have a TC kit on order before the tow truck even got there.

I wish I could get in on it but no money for it at the moment.

 

I'm not bashing All Pro - just wanted to share the pic. I am by no means an engineer and shit happens when trucks are beat on in the desert.

@rbraddock is an engineer and this is his analysis of the failure that was discussed on another board.

 

Here you go

 

wow!
