Long Travel BS Thread

Sweet video Matt. I will be chasing for a trophy truck soon in barstow

 

^^^ why are there no empty beer cans laying around?

 

Uh oh, no empty beer can??? Something is gonna be screwed up

 

question about camburg 1.25 uniball UCA's here.

is the Camburg UCA seen here: http://www.camburg.com/toyota/05-11-tacoma/toyota-performance-uniball-upper-arms/

the same that comes in the Camburg 4x4 Long travel kit seen here: http://www.camburg.com/toyota/05-11-tacoma/toyota-long-travel-coilover-suspension-kit/

 

Nope the lt ones are longer than stock

 

Doh!!

thanks

 

Hey Matt, I saw a thread over on fjcruiserforums talking about how they are having trouble finding the extended front axles for the LT kits. I will have to try and find it again. Unless I read it wrong haha.

 

From what I can read, the CV's are limiting the downtravel on the FJ with the Camburg kit. Not sure if this is with Camburg only or what. This guy is doing a ton of work. He had the TC 2" kit on for about 2 weeks and then swapped it out for the Camburg kit. Here is his build thread if you wanna check it out. I left it at the page where it starts talking about the CV troubles.

Its the same on the tacomas. The camburg kit advertises 14 inches of travel but what i have heard is the cv joints will bind if they pull more than 13 inches.

 

Travel numbers dont mean anything. It all comes down to tuning the shock/coilover

 

cool build...

yeah, camburg says 14" but people have to limit it to 12-13" otherwise things will bind

i'll always buy TC over camburg anyways...

 

damn, that sucks ass lol

 

Finally got my battery trays welded in. They have a piece of Chromoly running off tire carrier under them and once I get the boxing plates welded on going to run another piece from frame rail to frame rail also under them. Right now they are solid but I like to over-do certain things especially.



Also bought some Beards. Pic is in the guys truck, still need to do brackets and stuff for my truck.

 

nice, i saw those for sale on DR

 

Yeah I figured for 400.00 Id grab them. they arnt exactly what i wanted but are much better than stock so they will do for a few years.

 

sweet man, they look like they are still in really good condition

 

pretty good, one small cigarette burn on one seat but thats it.

trying to decide if its worth the money saved to try and track down somebody to fab mounts or if I pay the stupid high price and just buy mounts that will bolt right on...

Anybody in SD want to make some cash?

 

Theres a little oil on the oring on my coilover shaft. Does that mean it is leaking?

 

nope, a little bit of oil is normal
