Long Travel BS Thread

Thats what I am going to do. No chance am I relocating that thing. I did that a while back on a tucked engine bay car. Never again.

Battery yes. Fuse box leave it.

 

Yeah i've helped my buddy do a relocated relay box in a z32 (never actually finished it) and i did about 50% of one in my 240sx before i had to store the car elsewhere because of moving.

 

hey @Airdog are you doing anything for a parking brake on your new axle? waiting on some caliper brackets from sendcutsend to add wilwood electronic parking brakes to my camburg 9". If your interested in going that route i can send you the cut file for them if you want. I feel like we briefly talked about it during the summer on here or at least mentioned it once or twice.

 

I don’t even want to move my switch pros thing. That’s like 1/8 the wires.

 

yeah i just bought another one thats in my bedside pocket with my compressor in the back so now i don't have to run wires from the front to the back.

 

That’s what I am doing. Moving my battery, switch pros, and compressor to the bed. Then bye bye wheel wells.

 

Haven’t done anything yet. But it’s still on the list of things to do. Not sure if the cut files will work for me though. I’d be willing to bet you axle tube is larger than mine. Mine is 3 inch OD. I think camburg uses a larger size.

 

Keep me in the loop on this i’m getting an axle from @81Trekker and I def want a park brake. Seems like an easier solution than the Hilux drive shaft / t-case park brake

 

Yeah definitely a lot of work the box just doesn’t fit in with my plans for inner splash guard and it’s just ugly lol. Got the battery relocated under the passenger rear seat nice and tidy in there

 

yeah mines a 3.5” but it wouldn’t be too much work to modify the file to adjust for it.

 

Its A LOT of work, we have done a few of them but be prepared for weeks of work. This is a Silverado we have here currently, we 3D printed a new fuse box surround that bolts the OEM fuse panel to the inside of the bed.There is a steel lid used for access inside the bed and aluminum panels that bolt to the outside of the bed and protect the wiring

 

Any chance I can get in on this? I have a camburg axle on order, and have been eyeing the wilwood electric parking brakes as well.

 

So rad!! Amazing as always!

 

sure, I’m still waiting on fedex for the final version I hope from sendcutsend, as long as everything’s good with them I can email you.

 

Do you guys sell sway bar arms or was that one off?

 

Awesome thanks!

 

Anybody ever paint their fiberglass fenders and regret it after going to a larger tire and having to trim them? Im on 285/75/15. May go 35s some day. Seems like if it ever needed trimming could just hit it with a little touch up. Might be overthinking. They are 2” mcneil

 

Tape the shit out of them before you cut. And even with that expect some edge chipping from cutting.

 

Ok thanks. I was going to get them properly painted so didn’t want to be throwing $ away but just hit the edge with some touch up should be good to go

 

Two words. Bushwhacker fender trim. Covers any chipping or crooked cuts.
