Rondog's Long Travel Build

i think its time for him to get some nice sliders

 

I havent gave those much thought since I took my 6" off but now that you guys mention it they look a little goofy

 

Nice looking truck! Just looked through all 11 pages! Agreed with the n-fabs, if necessary making some sliders to slap on there would look good. But I don't guess they would be that necessary on an LT?

 

you'd be surprised

 

^^^ holy tits!

 

literally!

 

If you want get rid of them let me know I would love to take them off your hands...

 

Nice truck Ron... Sept-Nov. will be a good time for an Oco meet.... Havent been in like a year..

 

x2. I'm there

 

Took em off today and it looks a lot better. Brand new they're about $300. You can have em for $150..with some soap and water, they look brand new

you too man, I love your truck... and I agree let set one up soon so people have plenty of notice

 

when I turn right or left and slow speeds (also not every time), I hear sort of a popping noise and can sort of feel it in the pedal and steering wheel. Any ideas? I tried to record the sound on my phone but its kinda hard to hear..the popping noise occurs at 0:13/14

I am pretty sure its coming from the driver side. I got down there and cant see anything wrong

sounds like these guys had similar issues but nobody posted what it was exactly

need better video.

could be a number of things... or it could be nothing too. race truck parts make race truck noises

 

it has a littler over 50k..I think i just hit 50 a couple weeks ago. The long travel setup is new though

I had an awesome video setup this morning. I put my phone in a sandwhich baggie and zip tied it under my truck..naturally it didn't make the noise. The footage was pretty cool to see

I'm gonna jack it up and have a friend turn the wheel and see if I can see anything.

 

I haven't had that happen. I think i'm going to take it to a this guy I know and see if he has any idea what it is. I understand that race truck parts make race truck noises, but this just started and I've had my front on for a little while now. I'm sure whatever it is, I can fix it..just a matter of cost at that point and if it's necessary

 

now that you metion that, i remember a dude on TTORA that was having this same issue and it was his wheel bearing...

 

sound anything like this?

this is from a year or so ago, it ended up being his outer tie rod ball joint... another route to explore along with the wheel bearings

 

That sounds pretty accurate. I looked up bad wheel bearings and found this and it doesn't sound anything like this

I guess I'll take a look at the tie rods then. I remember when we were installing them one of my friends popped the little rubber seal on the end and a little bit of grease came out

 

the TC kit still uses the stock tie rods, but with an extension to connect them to the spindle...unless ron bought the heim steering upgrade

 

correct, I am just using the extension with the stock tie rods

 

yeah, check out the tie rod ends... inner and outer

hopefully it's one of those that's bad, that way you have a good excuse to upgrade to heim steering
