Long Travel BS Thread

Damn wish you posted this a few weeks earlier getting the JD inner fenders installed Monday.

 

lol. Sorry.

 

That inner fender JD kit will work on both 2ndgen and 3rdgen.

 

I believe it does, there’s some different brackets or tabs for the change in fender heights if I remember.

 

I too have a set of inners here in Michigan. Fully powder coated. They are taking up space in my loft.

 

I might be interested in the inner fenders and slide rack

 

I'd possibly be interested in the inners, but I'm not headed down towards SoCal for a few months.

 

I’m in NorCal. Lake county.

 

Interested in the slide rack possibly if shipping doesn’t kill the deal

 

I’m willing to bring it down to socal. I have some other business I can do down there too.

 

you have pics of the bumper ?

 

I thought you were down at Knott's Berry Farm, haha. How much?

 

If anyone is interested I have a Demello bumper in great shape. Comes with 2 bd lights. $800

 

Maiden voyage

 

Thoughts on this?

Possible short? I would think the terminal itself would melt before one of the cells if this was the case.

Road debris? The batter is mounted on the side of the frame underneath the bed. The cell that melted is the forward most exposed cell. That would be the point of impact if the front tires kicked up some debris while driving. It does look like this happened while driving based off the way the plastic melted.

I am going to trace the wires and see if I find any damage but not sure what other tests that would help isolate any issues.

 

My optima has a crack on the posts base and that is concerning

 

That's a good one! Don't have any real answers for you. Maybe whatever it was pierced through the case and came into contact with the spiral plates and caused the short. I think I'll start carrying two fire extinguishers after seeing this

 

Sounds like your mounting location has some drawbacks

 

Antigravity battery or bust
