Long Travel BS Thread

YES - exactly what I'm trying to do! Do you have a link to those?

 

Lol, small world. Crazy how it just gave out on the sand like that (despite the fact it was on his 10th or 15th jump that day....)

 

Hey y'all. Quick question! Just finishing up my frame plating. Will .095 wall HREW be suitable for the X brace crossmember?

 

.95 or .095? .95 wall would be way more than overkill. Most of the stuff on my truck is .120" wall with some .25"

 

I'm using .120.
But look at what you took out it's like sheet metal. I'm sure your good.

 

Sorry .095

Yeah that's my thoughts exactly. All it is to prevent twisting

 

Better off goin overkill than flimsy just sayin

 

Says the guy that - oh nevermind, overkill it is lol

 

0.95 it is!!!!! Hahahaha

 

This is true.
Also I'm using Dom if that means
Anything

 

I went with Simpson Offroad ones for the allen head route. These are cut and bent, not like the stamped rod louvers.

 

Those are super nice - if I had a nicer hood I'd go for something like that. Probably going for the cheapest I can find so I can put more money into what's going under the hood

It's good to see that more people are going with vents like this. I figured it would be a good idea since the first thing the guys on Roadkill do when their junk is overheating is take the hood off. Just gotta find time to do all this stuff - work is keeping me busy - good thing I like it lol.

 

@Dalandser Right on man. The rod louvers are a bang for the buck. Surely you have a giant list of to-do's and just gotta check them off one at a time. I got off overtime at work and started working this for like 6 hours to get the edges all smooth and painted. I was running on empty at mid day, but all worth it! Keep at it.

 

sorry no link. its a ebay seller that makes a bunch of these in different lengths/sizes. Comes with all stainless bolts/nuts

 

I think I found my approach to this mod:

Just gotta take some more measurements and look at what size I want to go for.

 

anyone have scotts email at camburg?

 

Same, last time he posted here I sent him a PM right after to order some parts but never heard back. I've e-mailed them at their sales e-mail with no response either. Not a big purchase that I need to make, just some heim spacers but I do need to eventually order one of their housings since I already got a set of their hubs already sitting at home.

 

Why don't you just call them? 714-848-8880

Email is the second worst way to get something done, Instagram being the first.

Nobody I know that calls, has had trouble getting shit done with Camburg.

 

Email sucks. If you need something call lol. Camburg always answered the first time I call
