Long Travel BS Thread

I thought you were still contemplating selling your rig?

 

I'm back and forth on it. That's one of the reasons why I don't really want to deal with selling the Camburg kit and going with the LSK kit. However I have the 35s for the truck already so being able to mount them without rubbing would be nice and maybe attract more potential buyers.

 

Since BajaKits thinks i needed +3" of hose over the stock rerplacements, i had to curl the resi to bend the hose out and around. It sadly still hit the bucket and started to shave a little of the hose. Anyone know where the hose wraps are i can buy? This weekend i put a hose around it and ziptied it on the hose to protect it best i can.




Also note, this was right after install, its settled since and is much better angle

 

Are you able to move the mounts to be further away or at a different angle to take up some of the extra hose? Otherwise I don't know if any hose wraps that wouldn't just get chewed up like the actual hose, so your other option is to have shorter hoses made

 

This was my solution:



Industrial zip tie (from my roommate that works for Marlboro to keep signs up) kept it off of the coil and uca throughout the cycle and the gray stuff is plumber's shower pan liner that I cut and zip tied to the hose to keep the big zip tie from cutting into the hose. I think that was overkill though since the big zip tie wasn't putting much stress on the hose.

 

they're welded on but i can move them elsewhere, just no room since the resi's are large.

 

i did that as well after i did some creepin on your build thread to see what you did. I've since mentioned it to JT that theres no need for +3" of hose lol

 

Welcome to race truck world where your truck will always sound like it is falling apart.

 

Hello quick question, Should i use the stock boots on my 2" long travel axles or the extended ones from All Pro?? Any other options?? Thx

 

This

Before I replaced the uniballs on my mt setup my buddy asked me what was wrong with my truck because it was so noisy pulls up to camp one trip. I said nothing wrong, just everything makes noise

 

Yeah on dirt they click like that. On street you get a single loud pop sounds like you didn't tighten something down all the way.

 

That loud in the cab even without a cage? The gf is gonna stop letting me buy truck parts after this. Lol

 

That video was cage loud. It's fairly mellow without a cage. Just get a louder muffler.

 

I've got the s/c and intake too so there's plenty of other loud noises going on. Just turn up the radio. But glad to know that's cage loud and not non cage loud. Though I'll inevidably end up with one of those down the road at this rate.

 

Depending on your intake, but the s/c is plenty of loud on mine and the exhaust too. Long tubes, stock y, and a magnaflow cat back. I usually don't hear the bypasses unless windows are down and radio is also down.

 

URD tcai so it made a noticeable difference in sound. I'm just the trd car back that I chopped before the axle so my shackles wouldn't hit it. The truck makes noises and I was aware of bypass clicking so I'll just figure it out when I get them.

 

thats what i used to realize and get over my bypass noises. The noise traveled up the frame and sounded like a clunk in the cab, but clicks outside.

 

Yep, wait til your uniballs aren't fresh anymore and you get a little dirt in them and your leafs start squeaking if you breathe to loudly in their general vicinity. The Wife calls my truck the "Hoopty-mobile" now because of how it sounds, but then you hit the dirt and it's beautiful.

 

Got glass back from paint

 

Ok, so what is everyone doing with their intakes?

I had to trim fenders which involved removing the fender liner, which leaves the factory intake sticking out in the wheel well unprotected...

So what have you done? pull the intake into the engine bay and block off hole? Run a second filter?
