Long Travel BS Thread

tell me about it:


I think ima get it removable along with my tail lights so i can jus leave them at camp from now on.

 

haha I was talking to the other Mike (Broken Housing one) lol

But i'll keep an eye out for something for you also. around what size are you looking for?

 

Dude who mounted that glass? Maybe I need to reinforce mine? Did you hit anything or was it tire related?

 

I mounted the glass ima get some more brackets fabbed for them, i dont think its tire related cuz the other side is fine.

Going down soggy dry lake in Lucerne, hit some big whoops on the race track, and they flew off....no damage to the glass at all besides some scrapes, but the tail light is busted

 

Haha. Thats what shakedown runs are for. However during this last batch of work we cycled the suspension to make sure nothing hit at full bump. It might be worth doing to really see whats going on. If Engage has a fork lift you can flex it out and see full droop/stuff to check that as well.

 

Yea, i literally drove my truck out of Engage's shop and straight to the dezert. Everything cycled fine except my tires didnt really clear the bypass tubes in the rear, so they had to put spacers on, which might have made my tires not clear the rear glass.

 

That sounds like a good trip to me straight out of the shop.

 

thats the situation i'm in. my tires weren't clearing my air bumps cans so i had to put my spidertrax on but now my tires are gonna slam into my glass so i have to trim my bedsides...

 

so it looks like i'm gonna be buying me some new seats

i took first place in my fantasy football league last night and now i got some free spending money

 

^^What kind are you gonna buy? Also I was wondering about your ICONS. Where did you get them? I cant find anywhere that has dimensions of them. I'm about to buy a Camburg kit and apparently King doesn't make a shock that collapses to 14 3/8". According to Total Chaos website it doesn't look like their kit requires the "special" shock

 

Being that you are in AZ Also SDHQ can order you Icons since they are a dealer for them. And you can see what the omega by-passes look like in person since they have a set on display. THey also sell King and Fox.

 

Woot! I know what ima be fixing this weekend

 

you guys made it out there. I left at about 4ish

 

Thanks for the axle ideas guys.

Are you going to have a tab welded in to hold the leaves straight or did everything just loosen up from the initial breaking in?

 

its just them breaking in. Engage warned me about it before i took it out because the arch in the leafs shallow out as the rear settles, so i need to torque the bolts down to match the change in shape.

 

i think i'm gonna go w/ corbeau A4 seats. corbeau makes brakets that fit in the stock seat mount locations so they just bolt right in

as for the icons, i called up icon and ordered directly through them. alex has a good point about hitting up SDHQ. if i lived in AZ thats prob the only place i would go. they kick ass over there. i've ordered from them before

 

those are nice too, but way more money than i'm looking to spend on seats
