Long Travel BS Thread

ahh i love crap storms

 

nope.....i haz a tc kit

 

What I mean is...the welds held on didn't they?, did their job

 

Too much shit talking about Engage here.
Lets just drop it and move on. Every kit has it flaws but also comes
down to the owner to maintain their kits.

 

and I has an Engage kit

it's all good, maybe we can wheel together one day, im not hatin.

I chose Engage to support a local fab shop and they havent let me down

 

Oh shit that reminds me I gotta go check my hold the bushing sleeve together bolts, damn maintenance. In all seriousness this is the first time I've said anything "really" negative about engage even though Hass was a bit of a dick every time spoke with him on the phone and in person, Kit's a good dude though. If I ever sold a suspension I would like to have the piece of mind that the kit will out live the truck.

 

well said....so did you go check your bushing sleve lol

 

I've long realized most people have already made their minds on what they think of Engage.

I just like to invite people to wheel with me or other Engage folks so they can see what it's like in person.

I was one of the few that put faith in them to get one of their first 2nd gen kits. I felt like I was supporting a local fab shop that was trying to do big things. Now if people feel like bashing, then that's their short coming.

I just know that I took the risk of going down a path less traveled, and I try my best to take all necessary precautions.

So you can either bash, or come to this meet Im holding:

it'll be fun!

 

ITs DOM man! that why when it breaks you can see the seam

 

That run looks sick, Hope my my rear LT is done so i can goooooo. Still waiting on the camburg front

 

^this

 

Still waiting on an answer to what wall tubing they use, its not .250 wall thats for sure

 

I would really use the lower picture as a comparison, that is a uniball so the cup is way thinker than a bushing sleeve will be. on the other hand unwrapped .095 wall was just asking for it

 

isnt a forum supposed to be somewhere where people can voice their opinions. not everyone agrees on everything ...i honor your opinion although i dont agree

 

my kit and both burg kits i installed recently were 250 wall at the bushing sleve

 

Adam, how long would it take you to "box the frame and plate the section where it curves up for the axle"

 

Just something I noticed is that the Giant & DMZ kit both have a portion that wraps up around the side of the frame as well (like the stock hanger):

Giant:


DMZ:

 

I agree fully. I just dont know which of my opinions you are not agreeing with?

 

Way to be positive Arron! Like I said its the first thing I've said about engage I just hope they have no more issues. Just tell Hass to try to be a little nicer when he speaks with possible customers. I was gonna buy a engage kit when they first dropped. No joke but he shined me at the offroad swapmeet a few years ago and that's when I looked else where. I think I may have taken some risk as well don't you think?

DOM has a seam you just can't see it that's what my local metal supply tells me.

 

The weld wasnt the problem on that it is the stupid two layer frame on the tacomas. you have to wrap up the frame when attaching anything
