Long Travel BS Thread

Yeah mine are all 3/16 steel and takes the floor jack to put on my rear skid. Front I can manage to hold up with my knees and feet

 

Cut 3/8" off the barrel(female end of the extension, or trim the outer tie rod down if you can

 

*Bliss*

 

Make sure to gusset your frame where the bumper mounts. I used to have a plate bumper / winch and jumped too. Got lucky the bumper didn't completely break off; one broke cleanly and the other bent when I caught it. Pulled the bumper off, welded the mount back together, and cut out a 1/4" template of the mount, which I then welded to the mount to beef it up.

 

What grade aluminum are you using?

 

I'm 12 hrs into long travel and already need more gussets! Beef!
Gusset to the banana or the resevoir part? Or both?

 

I would not attach the bananna to the resi, the resi gets super hot and it will spoil the banana. I would suggest keeping the bananna in one of your door panels or center console.

 

For a full setup, front to back, the weight diff from AL to steel was about 60lbs. Most people probably have more than that in their cage and gussetts.

 

Hes just getting old lol,@Y2kbaja Plus he comes from a racing background. shave weight here ever you can.

 

Just because I have 60lbs of beverage in the ice chest doesn't mean I need 60 lbs of under carriage protection

 

I would frame plate behind the resi. that area is a crumple zone

 

Um, when you’re done figuring out your gussets, can I have the banana?

Asking for a friend.

 

Sure hope "your friend" likes flambe banana.

 

Who doesn’t!

 

Anyone know what size and type of fitting is on the brake line screwed in the caliper? Is it 10mm inverted flare? I'm so close to deleting all the automotive shitty flare stuff in my brake system.... rest is all an3

 

10mm inverted

 

I've got 1st gen taco brakes on my truck so assuming they use the same inverted line size, this is what you need. If not Kartek has tons of other thread pitches. They work great for me, all my brake and fuel lines are converted to AN.
