Long Travel BS Thread

If anyone knows anyone selling 2.5x8"kings let me know thanks guys.

 

Can you guys post how you are playing the cab to the cage and what material you're using?

 

X2, but SoCal gets first dibs obviously but I'm not brand specific just prefer kings

 

Yeah I know to plate the cab to cage and will be once I connect the bpillar to the engine cage, but I'm hesitant to just plate it to the b pillar and 2 points on the engine cage because I'd imagine the cab will flex between that, and most likely crack. Guess ill just tough it out till I finish the cage, or just make some solid mounts out of some kind of hard plastic or bar stock. Another question... What's the best way to seal a plexi rear window and the spots around the cage? PO used some kind of rubber type sealant, but it doesn't seem flexible enough to tolerate cab flex.

 

So got a harbor freight 2ton aluminum race jack...u guys know of anyone making skids and mounting plates for them? Or is it kinda a custom dealio?

i think dmz makes one....but i didnt do that i just made a mount for it






just some pics from the pismo meet.

 

For solid mounts, I welded my stock mounts into one piece.
Rubber is flammable BTW

 

Oh snap, guess I shoulda searched a bit lol. Thanks!

 

Yup it looks like dmz is only one that makes one for the 2ton, the others are for. 1.5ton.....lil price but looks good!

 

anyone got any ideas on extending ABS lines? Is it just cut and splice or more?

 

BUY NEW LINES. If talking brake lines.

 

where would i buy extended ABS lines? Didn't know that they made them. Toyota?

Just trying to decide if i want to run my mantric spindles with my total chaos kit i put on today. Stock spindles on right now.

 

Brake lines or the speed speed sensor cables?

If speed cables you dont need longer ones... They work just fine.

 

just the abs lines, haha the sensor that bolts into the spindle, those lines.

 

Thinking i may just keep the stock spindles. (sorry about the neck pain, always does that from my phone)

 

You will be fine

Im running Maxtracs and just fine.

 

hmmm, seemed super tight when i mocked it up, i'll take a look at it tomorrow then and see what it looks like. thanks man!

 

My speed sensor wires were NOT long enough after the spindles....I left them off

 

hmmmmm. decisions decisions haha. another question for you guys, i need to get taller bumpstops for the front. don't want to do hydro's yet, rather save for bypasses. The kit comes with extensions, but i don't have those. i can either order those, or find taller ones. id rather get taller ones... any suggestions?
