Long Travel BS Thread

seriously wtf

 

Too much up travel?

 

Anybody know whats going on at DSM? tried emailing them twice the past 2 days and no response yet?

 

Don't limit straps limit down travel? How would that help him if he is rubbing the cab?

 

You cant limit strap up travel on the driveshaft

People will limit strap under their driveshaft in most cases. Have you not seen this before?
(thats what i think Mr.Hudson is talking about)

EDIT:

Like so

 

A driveshaft loop?

Edit: driveshaft loop has nothing to do with travel. It's just a safety measure.

What Landon said below

 

It's called a drive shaft loop, have to have it to race. It's just so if you have a failure at the front of the shaft or tranny the drive shaft doesn't pole-vault your truck

 

yeah i figured it was cause i have rubber bumps ....maybe the bumps arent even striking the mounts LOL ....time for fox air bumps.

 

Are the mounts too small?

 

its the stock mounts...on the frame...i know they hit though because i can see it

 

Thanks. I was just about to ask what good that does. I would think using a strap like that to limit down travel (rather than using straps to limit the axle housing itself) would just damage the driveshaft or third member...

 

i have red rubber bumps that i was going to mount off the top of the frame....but i have no upper sprinch perch...and idk if its okay to strike off the axle/u bolt?

 

striking it directly off the axle would probably cause it to roll off the axle and start to tear. i would think.

 

Started going through the land cruiser. Realized that the seats had seat covers on them, pulled them off brand new seats underneath! Man this thing is clean, it will be a shame when I cut it up. Had an oil leak... The dipstick was missing! Easy fix, now it doesn't leak a drop from anywhere. Also changed the oil, damn thing holds 9 quarts.

Check out how clean this is

 

Perfect spot for some shocks..

 

you have no idea how excited when my mom sells her cruiser. ill be sure to swoop on a deal of a life time. land cruiser FTMFW

 

Nice my friends mom has a land cruiser like that and its never been into 4wd as long as she has had it.
I want to buy it since they will be selling it soon
