Long Travel BS Thread

I love that software! Took some night classes and got certified last year

 

yea that's what I need to do...im familiar with 3d modeling software, but some classes sure would help

 

The class basically covered the 2013 version of this book

$22 Parametric Modeling With SOLIDWORKS 2015: Covers Material Found on the Cswa Exam

right on thanks for the tip

 

made a little progress....in reality I got plenty to go off of to make a jig and build em but.....im a nerd

 

Awesome.

 

Was looking into getting the solo 2+ kit for a little more droop for crawling and was wondering if anyone knows if it can be run with an air bump? Couldn't find much info on it. Just gotta make sure before I pull the trigger!

 

That software is awesome. Even the stress testing capabilities. Miss being in school with free access to the professional version

 

I'm pretty sure you should call them to verify. Ask for Paul. He is their resident Toyota guy and very knowledgeable on our trucks.

 

Was going to do that just thought I'd try here first! Thanks, I'll give Paul a call later today

 

Have you ridden in a 2nd Gen Tacoma with a 3.5" kit? I used to run a 3.5" kit on my 2006 Tacoma and could crawl pretty well with it. I would try and ride in trucks with both a +2" kit and a 3.5" kit before you pull the trigger. Just my 2 cents though.

 

I need to do that to replace my Camburg UCAs, got all the parts already. Just need to measure the spread between the heims to make the spacers and determine how much to cut off.

 

Only been in a Camburg LT taco it rode real nice but the owner of it has found it to be just a tad to wide for the trails up here in Canada. Wich is why I was going to go with a 2+ but since living in Canada it's really rare to find a LT truck.

 

3" track width difference is negligable your tires can flex more than that when aired down. 3.5 is the way to go

 

Oh yeah I do agree with that. It was only like an inch to wide so .5 a side basically. But also don't want to run fiberglass fenders. Unless there is a way to run a 3.5 kit with stock cut fenders?

 

You could run stock cut fenders, but your truck is gunna look like a buggy open wheel front end, glass fenders are pretty tough honestly, but they don't dent...they shatter kinda

 

For those interested in a long travel kit we currently have a special going on. To place an order or for additional info email us at sales@dirtkingfabrication.com

 

anybody in SD county or inland empire have a 02 simulator for a 3.4 engine I could borrow for a couple hours/ a day will pay. URD is out of stock

 

Not to worried about the toughness of them. Was more the price with the canadian exchange rate the way it is I'm almost paying double for anything I buy in the states. Maybe I will just save up some more monies and go the 3.5 route!

 

Ah yea isn't it like 47 cents to the dollar right now? 3.5 is still narrower than sum full size axled SAS rigs
