Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone running semit triangulated 4 link?

 

I was just there Friday, but not before trying Mckenzies and Specialty-Fastners first. Its what I get for not calling first. Passenger side upper uniball had about an 1/8" of movement..

 

What uniball tool is that?

 

$57 FK Bearings WSSX16T Spherical Bearing with Teflon, 1" (1-3/8 Wide), 1 Pack

ProAm, barely fits on the 1-1/4" Allpro UCAs. Its really meant for our 6100 truck and 10 car which uses 1-3/4" and 1-1/2" uniballs..

 

I’m seriously considering just buying this first gen instead of trying to build my current truck. It would save me a bunch of money and this seems like a good deal. Wondering what ur guys thoughts on this are. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMlkxbYhd9h/?igshid=1if8wl2ydxl8c

 

Thank you sir!

 

Idk what y’all talk about in here but recently dropped off my truck to start installing the dirtking spring under to pair with my LSK in the front

 

Should work really well once done! I'm a fan of the DK kit from what I've seen. Is your truck painted or wrapped?

 

It’s painted satin black

 

Nobody

 

That a matching Santa Cruz?

 

Looks more like a giant frame to me

 

I wish it was a Santa Cruz but yeah it’s just a Giant stance. I went to the shop and the dude asked why I didn’t wanna get the SC and I was like well it’s too expensive, then another guy who worked there went outside to smoke and came back in and jokingly said “hey this guy can afford it but his priorities are in his truck” haha but one day when I lose more weight I’ll get a dope Santa Cruz to match

 

Yeah my plan is to get one for my next bike but I’m pretty happy with my giant reign advanced right now.

 

I picked up a SC Nomad after my other bike got stolen from a shop. I definitely would have never spent that much on a new MTB but its pretty sweet!

 

So definitely thinking about doing the procharger for the taco any nay sayers or reason to go magnuson instead ?

 

over 110k miles of my driving on the first gen trd and no issues. not sure how the newer ones compare but im impressed. not sure when it was originally installed either, 258k on the clock

 

well it’s a positive displacement roots style (magnuson) vs centrifugal (procharger). There’s a lot of articles around that can explain it better but the positive displacement has a fixed curve for flow, where as a centrifugal is not. so while a procharger is smaller and fits easier in some applications and peak power may be around the same for the same amount of boost. it seems lower power range will be better with a magnuson.

 

Yeah I was thinking magnuson for good low end power but also since I live in the state that regulates everything under the sun procharger isn’t even carb compliant as of yet so who knows how long I’ll be waiting for that also ! Hmmm I’ll look around on other forums to see but just doing quick research for what I’m using the truck for I think I should go magnuson
