Long Travel BS Thread

True that



And Shawn that's what I'm saying, I'm not doing that again til I feel a little safer

 

Haha yes

 

What did u almost flip on the pavement? Shoulda hung around for when me a jake went down I got into a 4 wheel drift haha

 

Any of you guys with the DMZ kit notch your frame for uptravel? Tim said to get the full 17" that is what I would have to do, so I assume that is why I won't need 18's because it will be closer to 16" of travel.

 

What is everyone thoughts on the Reboot Buggy? Met this guy and was able to check it out at a buddies shop.

That's pretty cool. Reminds me of that Nigel guy from Australia who built that drift Hilux.

hey man at least you have airbags haha !
but yeah... its hard not to go fast when it feels smooth and buttery. i didn't really have any close calls but it really doesn't take a lot... def time for a cab cage.

 

That's because you have a short bed which uses a shorter shackle than the long beds that pull 17".

Would anyone know why my E-Brake light would stay on? At glamis it just turned on but it still works and its not caught up anywhere.

 

Its also a low brake fluid indicator. Check fluid level and the plug connection at the resi on the master cylinder.

 

top off your brake fluid.

 

mines been on for like a month too

 

I had this happen, it goes on when your brake pads need to be replaced, swapped mine and it was off in 1/4 mile.

 

^ Check this first

Could be because your pads were low which causes the piston to be pushed farther out of the caliper therefore using more fluid and lowering the level in the master cyl reservoir. When you replaced the pads you pushed the pistons back into the calipers which caused the fluid level to return and the light to go off.

 

which spanners work on kings?

 

I thought the same but fluid was perfect and when I compressed the pistons fluid was overflowing from the reservoir, I'm not sure how it reads pad level but it was def that, everything else was perfect

 

The fluid is still topped off, I'll do the brakes tomorrow. They've felt a little soft and it's been a while anyways. thanks guys
Edit: Jason I didn't forget about those shackle pics ill pm you today

 

I have this one and use it on virtually everything since I have 2.5" & 3" King, radflo and sway a way in my driveway...
