Long Travel BS Thread

lol I must have done it wrong to get my wheels in spec with my +2 kit then. The point of the rear wheels being used in this is to have a plane that is parallel to the direction of travel. You have to adjust your measurements to compensate for a difference in track width. It ain't rocket science.

 

Good chance of that. Had a guy that bought a sport bike off me try to say I messed up the bike. Jerk did a wheelie down my street when he test rode it. I was like better get that release of liability quick.

 

You sir are correct, my bad...but to be fair you didn't specify that you were smart enough to know to do that

 

Same, kinda. Sold a Triumph, showed the guy that when you turn the key to off, you can turn it past off and turn on a parking light and still take the key out. Don't do that. I'd never killed the battery, but had started walking away a couple times and noticed a light in the headlight still on. He calls me like 2 days later "Dude, if you sold me a shit bike, that's fine, but at least tell me whats wrong with it, it won't start at all, nothing turns on"
I asked him if he made sure to not put it in parking light mode...he went silent, then I heard quietly "mother fucker" and he's like "my bad dude, I totally did that, killed the battery"

 

I just hope I never have to sell this truck. Afraid of the people that can afford a budget prerunner and destroy it in a few seconds.

 

Does anybody have two misalignment spacers for 1" Uniball for 9/16" Bolt , the ones they use on Total chaos Tacoma midtravel arms.

 

You'll never have to sell it if you destroy it first.

Sounds like a better option than dealing with Craigslist.

 

Just make sure whatever ends the truck's life ends up on video with viral worthy carnage and you can make up the difference off of YouTube. It's ironic - Craigslist seems to benefit people selling piles and hurt people selling well cared for rigs. Way of the world. #bettertoburnoutthantoenduponCL

 

Anyone know the size of the bolt to turn the crankshaft with? I need to get one so I can take the pistons out of the block I'm working on (5vz). Thank you.

 

Cut and extend the fill neck and the other 2 hoses. Or reach under the fender.

 

19mm

 

Thank you. Any idea on bolt diameter and thread pitch?

 

I'm sorry I read your post wrong. It's a 19 mm socket to take it off, I don't know the bolt size

 

I might just suck it up and see if a dealership has one in stock since I'll need one eventually anyway. I read one guy was told $18 for it at one place so hopefully I can get a cheap one for now and buy one from an online dealer site eventually.

 

Wanna drop my rear ride height 2-3". Current spring rate is 400/500 (what solo told me to run) thinking of changing tender to 250 or 300. Need opinions on what to do. It rides super plush and is not stiff at all but not sure if I need to change both springs or just tender

 

What length spring do you have?

 

16/16

 

Could just get shorter springs if it already rides plush, obviously you lose up-travel. I don't know if a lighter spring rate would be the best for your handling, body-roll and if you have to make an evasive maneuver. 250 or 300 just sounds like witchcraft.

 

I ended up being able to rotate it by hand. It got really easy once a couple pistons (the ones I already could get to) were taken out. Thanks for trying to help.
