Long Travel BS Thread

yea I'm designing around 7/8" ones this time

 

Wait...you installed the bypass mounts without cycling them to make sure everything fits right?

 

Lol.....usually you weld the tabs on during cycling too.

 

I would still cycle it once you get bypasses

 

Cross your fingers, just because it's a kit doesn't mean everything is going to line up perfectly. Manufacturing tolerances or jig-fuck ups can throw things off.

It's unlikely to be off, and if it is, it's unlikely to be a lot, but it's not exactly a quick operation to reposition things that are welded on.

 

Looks cool but that's not the race kit...

 

Looks like the race kit to me?? Uniballs in lower arm

 

Looks like a uniball adaptor to me...

and the angle is wrong, way to flat but what do I know, not like I have a set or anything

 

Haha yes you are correct

 

hopefully they didn't pay for a race kit...that's like a $400 fuck up and a big difference in weight and ground clearance

 

anybodys first gen have a swapped in all aluminum radiator? mine decided to crack everywhere

 

No one I've heard of has done this - especially w/o custom mounts. I've started a thread on first gen radiators and read through another recent one. You're probably going to hear a lot of different opinions. Most say get the cheapest one you can find and expect to replace it as a regular maintenance item. OEM Harrison's are $184 on parts websites. Parts stores carry them for ~$150 unless you can get one on sale.

 

damn that is not the news i wanted haha guess thats all part of long travel

 

You can replace your core support mount bushings and relocate your battery to minimize breakage up there

 

yea might have to try that. any write ups on that?

could this work says fits 3.4 4runner and if the mounts are a little different could just weld some new ones on

 

I'm slowly deleting my core support. Custom mounts to a 3 row aluminum radiator from the3.0 pick up

 

check out champion cooling and tell me wat you think. seems like they could work but i might give them a call tomorrow

 

Yeah don't know anything about a 4 runner but that is sweet if they interchange

 

Anything is possible I suppose. If I had a welder and a plasma cutter / cutting torch I'd be a lot more adventurous to try that kind of stuff. Here's a write up on the cab mount bushings and the core support bushings would be roughly the same procedure. I know I have to do all of mine - they're falling apart
