Long Travel BS Thread

Saturday or Sunday?

I may try and swing by if I can fit it in but I have a few things planned this weekend that take priority.

 

ah oh... gettin greedy!

 

Mostly all day on Saturday. Ill be picking up fenders from FiberWerx on Friday mid afternoon and then head straight to their shop from FiberWerx and start the teardown Friday evening

 

Not even close, my old AllPro kit had just about the same numbers as we were getting from the +4 Kit, im embarrassed to admit that.. Physically impossible to get advertised numbers if you ask me

 

Still have a looong way to go, but she's off the jackstands for the first time in a few months.

 

oh I know was joking with you, I had a few items machined down to give me 1 more inch upfront and made changes to give almost 2 more in back....So ya, I am definitely greedy...

 

Lets talk about the race truck? What kind of Mpgs that thing pull? top speed? 2wd or 4wd ?

 

On or off road?
4wd.

 

Yes.

Wait ?

Are we both talking about the Hijet?

 

Got all the parts for the relocation.

 

I was thinking the Hijet.
Obviously a whoop killer with that roof light rack

 

Haha, nope!

Hijet gets better mileage around town than on the highway. 5spd manual, 2wd. Whopping 23" tall Toyo open countrys on 12" wheels.
Does about 40mpg around town, and 30 on the highway. Top speed on flat ground is 72 mph, but I cruise between 55 and 60.

 

When the whoops are proportionally sized, yes....it'll eat up 4.5" deep rollers all day

The front suspension arm pivot points are only a few inches apart #centermount.

 

Allpro is a 2” kit I believe. Could i ask what you are cycling?

 

Pretty much at an even 12" with the C/O only, slightly less if the Bypass's are installed. Not even at a full 13" cycling without C/O"s, Bypasses and Bumps in place. This weekend we'll be changing out some stuff on the C/O's to allow more droop, and relocating the Upper Bypass mounts higher which will allow more up travel. I've been DD around the last few weeks without Bumps, Limit Straps and Bypass's.

 

how much more room on the uniballs do you think you have?

 

Wild. I got shredded for saying this not long ago. You will get MAYBE 11” safe.

All of their advertised numbers are a bloody mile off. If you’re 4wd, the CV’s begin to bind right at full extension on the 7.5” spec’d coilovers. Outer steering heim also becomes a problem as well depending on steering setup.

 

The C/O's that I purchased directly from JD are under 7". Figured that there would be an internal spacer that we'll remove when we opened them up to revalve for the bypasses.... there wasn't.

 

My buddy who has their portals on his 3rd gen was told by Quinn this October.

 

So in other words, custom shaft and they took even more travel out. If it makes you feel better, I’m at 11.625 tapped out. CV bind is my limiting factor for down, upper pivot is my limit for up. And the only reason I got more is because of some changes made during my steering project.
