Long Travel BS Thread

Yes?
Both the caliper and frame side 90° block thing were m10x1.00 male swivel fittings.



HEL had the option for different bends in the line ends, I put 90° on the frame side and 20° on the caliper side.
Lines were 37” long, but I’d probably go an inch or two shorter next time.
This is with 3.5” LT and 4” lift spindles.

 

Perfect, thanks!

 

Make a trip out to King of the Hammers. Plenty of desert stuff to do out there

Getting closer to wrapping up the cage

 

What's your "backseat" going to be? Being an access cab I assume you are sticking with 2 seats but I wasn't sure if you were putting anything else in that space. Tools or something

 

Just gonna make a flat shelf at the bottom for storage....at least somehting I can strap my tool boxes down to. Im going to leave a tube out at the bottom of the cage to give me a little better access into that area since its pretty tight now. Its just a 45 tube like the one that is at window height on the suicide doors.

 

Winter lists starting to get wrapped up. Still looks like it'll be down to the wire for KOH though.

Started with building a 9.5inch Land Cruiser housing. Full Float, with adapters for 4th Gen 4runner rear disc. Matching width to the Solo +3.5 LT I did last year (I built the rear 1 inch narrower than front).



Then it was on to the Chevy 63s



Rear winch



Traction bar



Outboard 14 inch Fox




Upgraded the Tundra brakes to GX470 brakes.



Tubbed the fire wall and cut the bedsides and fenders to clear 37s




That amout of tubbing was in addition to this... that I did last year.



Had ECGS install a Harrop locker and re-gear to 5.29



Truck is back on all 4 wheels. Needs some exhaust work (to route around the traction bar and replacing the Catalytic converters... Cal smog sucks). Also need to do some adjusting to the parking brake and other odds and ends. But it's just about done... again... for now.

 

What did you paint those leafs with?

 

Just some rustoleum I had laying around. Really light coats. Not that thick at all finished product.

Just a coating so they didn't just end up totally rust colored

 

Make sure you leave room for my tools too

 

I think I can make room for that one big ass wrench you have.

 

Internet mechanics I call upon your help. Race support Elantra stopped moving yesterday on my way home. Cruising at 65 and went straight to red line. No loud noises or anything. Pulled over, engine sounds fine, but when in gear and let the clutch out, can feel the trans rotating but the car wouldn’t move.

Fast forward to today. Pulled the trans and clutch. Something had been spinning around inside the clutch and caused it to fail it seems. Found these little springs loose floating around the clutch assembly and you can see where they caused some damage. I have no clue where they came from, can’t see anything on the flywheel side or trans side that would be missing something like this. The only part inside this are other than the clutch is the starter up by the flywheel but that appears fine as well.

Anyone know where these springs could be from? Ordered a clutch kit that will be here Friday but would hate to put it back together without knowing the source.

 

They’re part of the clutch.



Just make sure the flywheel surface is smooth and not glazed. You could get it resurfaced at a machine shop if necessary.

 

looks like the internal springs that would make up the pressure plate/clutch assembly.

This

 

I think we have found the mystery springs.

 

nice!

Is this a common problem with the Elantra's or just WRC driving style?

 

No clue and I try to drive like a normal person most of the time.

 

No
That’s just a clutch failure thing

rangers and mustangs are bad about it

 

Welp someone stole the spare tire out of my truck. Anyone got any ideas on how to lock them down? I was just running a strap. Really bummed because I can’t afford to even replace it right now.
