Long Travel BS Thread

Yeah, not too bad, works great other than needing to restart the truck to get ABS working again. That said, I did just ditch all of the ABS wiring in front and will have full time non-ABS.

there is a link to the non off road instructions as well

 

thats a clever idea

 

I cut one leg of the abs wire to the left front wheel. Extended either side of the cut wire to a toggle on the dash. The toggle on the dash opens or closes the circuit. Make sure you cut the wheel side of the harness and not the vehicle side of the harness like I did. The harness to the wheel can be replaced easily if needed.

 

I tried this method a while back, with some thin AWG wire and couldn't get the system to be happy. It was always off on my 2012 TRD Sport.
I ended up doing the one posted above in the offraod thread, posted by Benson X. Worked perfectly for about 5 years now in my 2wd TRD Sport truck.

yeah the abs system can get very finicky when you add resistance to the circuit with long wires, hence why a relay in place works better.

 

Definitely. Either way there are a few options. A relay or the way I did is nice because I can flip on and off on the fly instantly. Comes in handy when in dunes when I want traction control when in slower areas and getting up to speed, but flip ABS off when in whoops and once it starts to float. Nice to have when I don't have the power of an LS or the traction of 4wd lol

 

Man fuck bushings. Any tip to get these things out?

 

burn them out with a torch

 

After burning off my finger, I got it thank you

 

sorry i should have been more specific…torch the bushing

 

Yeah I’ll be doing a relay so I’m able to turn it off with my switch pros.

 

Its looking like it is time for rear fiberglass. I have heard in the past that ADV is the place to go. But am asking if that is still the case or if another maker(s) is/are better?
Front glass is McNeil currently.

 

ADV, best communication and shipping.

 

Idk I had zero issues with fiberwerx but have heard horror stories about all of them. Pick one and roll with it

 

My ADV bedsides were great. +1 one for them in my books.
Forget the kids name but nice guy every time I've picked up.

 

@81Trekker same but different

 

I prefer McNeil myself
Or
If I have time
McQueen

 

That is like saying the US and Russia are the same but different.

 

Time as in fitment difficulty?
