Long Travel BS Thread

me and my junk uniballs had some fun this weekend.



everything did great and i was able to tackle a lot rougher terrain than before. mucho happy

 

Gettin farther! Spindles pretty much done, few inside corners to weld up. J arms started, and got some of the upper frame mount pivots jigged up and welded as well.... hopefully be taking the truck apart by the end of the week I hope

 

Love the elt sticker on the helmet! I need one to put on the dumpster at Stockton. Coworker was called out on Super Bowl Sunday a couple yrs ago and located it in the dumpster.

 

Long travel chair mod...

 

Looks fast sitting still.

 

Awesome work amigo ! you should get that all powder coated so it stays nice n purdy

 

Pismo fence line runs. I would guess i need to lessen the compression/rebound on the bypasses. They came 12/15 they did great but i think a little too much rebound even with tubes adjusted. Front end felt amazing, i scrubbed the wheel tubs at full compression a touch but i dont think i want to space it down any and lose some travel in the process.



thoughts?

 

Front looks good to me. If I were to do anything I would say the rear needs a little more compression, but there are people with far better eyes than me on here. And I'm sure I will be posting a similar video asking for similar suggestions as soon as my bypasses come in.

 

i have the compression tube fully out, i could have dialed it in a touch

 

shit, didnt realize i had a better video as well.

 

Nice man you going LT finally?

 

I decided to call up King in regards to getting some bypasses built. Looking about 6 weeks just for them to get made if I ordered today. I wont be able to pull the trigger until 4 weeks from now at the earliest. Im thinking it will be around 8-10 weeks by the time I get my order in.

I am at the end of my week #6 of my 4-6 week original estimate and still can't get any sort of confirmation or updated status on my order. I think my fronts took exactly 6 weeks and I fear my rears will still be another 4-6. None of the shock companies give accurate time estimates from what I have heard

 

you get it when you get it, and youll like it.

 

Exactly. I'm debating trying to call king directly for any information but just don't want the disappointment.

 

I talked to one of the tech guys there...they told me just a rough estimate of what the line up is like currently before even getting bypasses in so if I ordered today it would be 6+4 weeks or so. I expect it will take 3 months by the time I order next month. He did say that December the demand drops off so worst case it rolls in at Christmas which is fine as I wont need them for a few months anyway.

 

For any of you az guys I found these on FB:

still available. Gotta join the off-road dezert deals group.

 

What length bump you use 2" or 4"? For some reason in my head a 4" might slide across the arm too much as it is being compressed.

Agree with the above statement. Some more compression in the rear. You really don't want to be tapping your bumps over whoops. Just use them for the larger hits.

 

I might make a little ramped deal for the strike pad.... but I'm only using a short 2.5x2.5 airbump
