Long Travel BS Thread

I'm running a depo 2" kit and 255/85/17 35's. I did not tub. I beat the pinch weld out and set the bumps to prevent the tires from hitting top of inner fender.

 

Yeah I cant find anything about it online either

 

1” LCA Uniballs. Are those COM16T ? Or AIN-16T ?

 

I’ve got the first set of JD inner fenders done outside their shop…..been beating the shit out of them since September 2021. No problems

 

Been running 35s for bout 12 years now. Started with them in mid travel. Clearances for them on that and when I put on the total chaos 3.5 kit, I have clearance for days. To fir 35s on stock length arms, most of my front cab mounts are gone, and I Went. To. Town. With a sledge hammer on the inner fenders mostly on the firewall side, but a little bit just rear of the fuse box/abs module areas.

 

It’s not the inners alone that makes it an issue, but the addition of a solid core support. That stress has to go somewhere, and that somewhere is where the inners mount.

 

Off topic, but anyone who is in the NorCal/Reno area and wants to go do a day trip in the desert let me know.

 

It's race season...racing Hawthorne this weekend.

 

You race your truck?

 

I race Class 9 with my kids. This weekends course has open prerunning Weds and Thurs this week. First time in USA in a long time we've had open prerunning.

 

That's rad. When is the next race?

 

Saturday. Hawthorne NV.

 

So it turns out that just pulling out the ABS actuator kills the speedometer. Oops. Guess I'll figure out what wires need jumping to fix that now.

 

4X4? Need to put a drive gear in the transfer case and wire to the speedo.

 

Yep, 2007 4x4.

There's definitely an easier way than cracking the transfer case. If it's not as simple as a wire jump, I'll disassemble the abs actuator, pull the circuit board out and plug it all back in, minus the big chunk of aluminum/valves. That way the truck thinks it has ABS (and a speedometer), but without ABS.

 

Quoting myself. I have done this time my truck.

 

Don't need to crack open the TC.

My abs actuator is torn apart on my bench if you want it I'll ship it to ya before you break yours open. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. I forgot all about the speedo not working when you unplug that actuator. My speedo has been to the TC for a few years. When I went to take out the abs actuator I thought about the plug and what it might need to do, turns out, my actuator has been unplugged for a while as the plug was laying on the fender well.

 

I have 5.29 nitro gears for your front diff if you have one
And a 5.29 (9”) diff if you go big boy axle

Also got 2.5x2.5 bumps if you keep slamming your frame into ditches haha

 

Sorry I meant after this Saturday. I've always wanted to see how teams pre run. Would love to be apart of that

 

Copy that. Open prerunning is new again to state side racing so we'll see. We're on break until September. Hopefully we'll go out towards the end of June or July sometime and do a desert run.
