Long Travel BS Thread

Just put my cv back together! No big deal. TC, AP, Toyota, and ttora didn't even know how to put one together after it's completely apart. Fuck yes!

 

Nice^^^

Gotta rebuild my driver side whenever the new CV comes in!

 

I'll pm my number and give you the secret to put it back together if you need help

 

Yeah for sure, would like to not damage another one!

 

thanks,

yes its tied in at 6 points on the frame. heres a pic from a month or so ago that shows the rear a little better. ill take more pics when i finish off the diagonal door bars and fill in the last set of holes in the floor in a week or two.

 

you only need a 12" shackle if you plan to ditch the stock frame mount points and run it over the frame. otherwise you'll want something similar to stock

i'm sure solo, DMZ, or defined will sell just the shackles for SUA

 

Don't know if that applies to 2nd Gens though since we have dove-tail frames! I'm pretty sure Logan (username) did run them (shackles) over the frame haven't seen pics but that's what I've heard.

Edit: DMZ, Giant use new Inverted shackle mounts (stock style) Defined uses the stock shackle location obviously, never seen a Solo SUA on a 2nd Gen though

 

to me it looks like the second berm is what messed him up and it broke in the roll...

 

my bad... i meant giant, DMZ and defined. not solo

logan does have shackles over the frame, but with new front hangers as well...

 

Do you guys think I can run camburg 4.0 spindles with the engage kit? I asked engage but they wernt sure

 

SICK!!!!!

No..the mounting of the lca is different..

 

Well don't you need new front hangers with any SUA setup?! So are springs angled with the frame (on a 2nd Gen) like this \ / ?

Interested to see how it turns out, or see some pictures of Logan's setup!

 

yes you need new front hangers. logan did it all himself... cant remember exactly what he did.

 

Okay, interested to see how it turns out for sure

This being what DMZ (Giants are similar) shackle mounts:



I can't find a close up of the Engage setup for their rear shackles, don't know it the run under or over the frame or have an offset mount for the shackle.

 

engage doesn't use the inverted shackle... they use a 13" shackle (i think), offset from the frame

you can see pics of aarons truck here...page 8

If I remember right, engage runs the shackle under the frame like on the first gen.

Okay, well the mount for that would be simple to mimic, and then use any generic/custom 13" Shackle for those who don't want to run Engage!

 

I hate the look of I beams they look so sloppy but they do handle woops like a champ
