Long Travel BS Thread

Just mounted mine in a harbor freight box and installed a switch and a plug that goes directly to the battery in the bed.

 

How are you guys balancing your beadlocks? Tire shop or balance beads? I ask as my local Discount tire wont touch them with a 10 ft pole.

Mom n Pop or llantera. My buddy uses beads though, they work well enough

 

Ive used the beads before in non offroad applications

 

Any Jose’s tire shop will do it.

 

Beads all day long.

 

Never balanced mine… been just fine…lol

 

Ideal but too rich for my blood right now

 

You running a compressor AND CO2 tank??

 

no, it was a thought for someone moving a comp, although I am considering dumping the co2 tank, more room in the bed

 

I threw some of this on my oe king coilovers. I think i just sprayed between the coils honestly.
Didnt think about it this time. But the bodies on my new 8 months old shocks look similar to the old oe ones that were on there for about 5 years. I really think it helps with the salt air in my area on the coast as some sort of barrier

 

This is what I use. Leave it gloss or wipe it and it becomes satin. Smells like cherries too. Used to make my dirtbikes look new.

 

Some toys have been picked up

 

oh man, youre gonna have a crazy amazing des toy...

 

SC1 is for the dirt bikes… But too expensive for the truck lol!

I’ve been using a fine bristle brush and some tire shine on the sharks and control arms for my truck.
You can control the shine by spraying it under the brush first.
Pretty cheap too

 

Ive run beads and it be fine, also run them and its really bad. I've run nothing and same story. I didn't bother balancing the beadlocks on my 4runner with beads or otherwise and they have been fine so far. Kinda luck of the draw. I have a pretty nice balancer if it ever gets shakey

 

i havent driven on my new wheel/tires yet but with dynamic balancing they wanted like 6+ oz per side so i decided to just static balance, which was like 1-1.5oz

fingers crossed it's good enough

 

Clean

Wonder how that case is going to do with the heat from the compressor... might get a little melty

My Schmittybuilt gets toasty after airing up all 4 tires.

 

Have aired up from 15psi to 35 psi on 35's many times with no issues....last time its was 105 out
