Long Travel BS Thread

Thanks man, that's what I told the alignment guy. Wasn't 100%

 

Lol ^^^^ good one

 

I don't know shit but seems like I might need shorter tie rod extensions to fix my toe. Bottomed out on inner threads

 

Jealous of your caster numbers.

What kit do you have again?

 

Been there. I had to get shorter extensions (or machine down the length of the barrel part) because I was running running out of threads on the inner tie rods. What is bottoming out?

 

camburg kit

From the quick look I got before headed home, the inner tie rod ran out of threads so the extension is jammed up against the jam nut and end of inner tie threads.(hope I make sense).

 

what size you get captain??

 

Check this out - I'll give you more info when I get home. 1/2" was all it took to make enough room for adjustment. I had a +2 kit and got the half inch removed from the barrel. That may or may not be your problem. I'll send you some drawings that helped me diagnose the problem when I get home.

@glorifiedwelder has dealt with this on a few occasions.

 

You da man!

 

You already got your glass and had it painted?!
Wow that was quick!

 

Although it may seem that way. Camburg took for fucking ever to get me my kit and get it right. I literally have had everything to fully build the truck, shocks and all many weeks before. Except the ass glass I got in the group buy.

 

Shitty pic but...

 

Single piece skid plate covers the diff and engine? Might consider doing something similar for mine. Haven't done the lower half of my bumper.

 

1/4" aluminum, 4-bolts to the front, floor jack under to start bending into place with 4 more bolts underneath. The upper plate is 3/16" and is cosmetic holding the license plate.

 

I used a sheet of hdpe from grainger ($40 sheet) . It's the same material as cutting boards. Easy to shape with a torch/heat gun and is pretty durable (says it won't shatter). It's got a few good scratches in it but nothing too deep.

 

I guess I drive my truck a little harder. I went thru four 3/16" skid plates before going 1/4". It will need to be replaced at the end of next season.

 

IDK why but my skids wear out faster than my friends ?

 

Just go steel

 

hell no, steel. 5-0's steel skid plate on his FJ weighted a frickin ton.

 

Yes there heavy but coast over weight.
I guess if your racing that would matter.
Definitely takes a floor jack to put the steel on.
