Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone up for ocotillo or lucerne next weekend?

 

I may be down for ocotillo.... Night or day?

 

I'm down for night runs

 

Either..both.. camping.. Dont care.. hahaha

 

quick question: looking at shocks and what not. Fox's 8" are 17.5ish collapsed and kings are 16 collapsed. would running the kings with a 2" ext rod making them 18" collapsed work better or worse than keep the std length and being 16"?

TIA

 

If talking about era wrapping the tubes to the back or rear cross member to protect diff, just remember u gotta be able to ge the diff out if need be. That's the hard part making it removable or enough room to wiggle the diff out...at least on 1st gens it would really take away from clearance.

Here's wut we did on mine






Would like to tie it into the the front crossmember at some point, gonna need heimed uppers to do it like I want. Also rig something up from front to rear crossmember that's stout yet able o take diff out. Right now I'm just running 1/4" aluminum the didn't have the normal grade got up graded to their highest grade (forgot #lol) for free

 

Looking good Chase! When u gonna make it back out his way? Would love o see this beast at pismo with us!

 

Yeah we picked it up at the end of last year. I'm not gonna say what Carmax pad, but I will say that I picked it up for much much much less than I think it's worth

 

Thanks Cory.

Will probably never live in California again, but I'm hoping my next duty station is in Arizona, Texas, or Colorado. From there I would trailer the truck back to socal once or twice a year. Combine visiting family with a TW pismo run would be great.

 

Come to Az!

 

Don't blame ya not living here! Visit and run would cool!

 

good looking FE quick release

Got new shoes for the truck. First step in reversing the neglect that its had in the last year....

Before: 31-1050-15 BFG All Terrains



After: 33-1250-15 Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac's



Next up is finally doing fuel cell and frame boxing that ive had for over a year. Then a new front bumper and a removable rack. Still have interior stripped too so cage will be somewhere in the mix as I recover from money from wedding.

 

anyone have the stock passenger side lca that they dont want/ want to give away? sometime in the next few months.

 

I need a driver side

 

how can you tell if they are bent? lol i think that skinny "arm" part is bent

 

Lucky for you guys I have both of mine coming off here soon. I might just give em away to you too if it helps ya out. I dont imagine they sell really well.

 

Texted you

You got it buddy, Krish can have the driver and you can have the passanger, maybe there will be a gorman meet soon and Ill have them for you guys then.
