2014 Rock Therapy - Official Thread

I just came from the shackle flip kit thread... haha Confused me I guess.

I think the rear timbrens are supposed to compress to the same height as the OEM bumps, though they are taller so you hit them sooner, but overall I don't think you will lose travel or at least not enough to worry about.

The front timbrens are like an inch taller than the OEM's when fully compressed though. n0rth is running them and they work great for him because they allowed him to stuff his 36's easier since they don't stuff as far. The front super bumps on the other hand are smaller than the OEM bumps. I had my 33's cleared lock to lock on the OEM bumps and after switching to the superbumps I am still cleared when straight but I can't turn the wheel very much at all because it rubs so much.

 

Thanks guys that's what I thought!

What about bushings? Do you just get Toyota ones or are there better one?

 

Go with the poly bushings.. Have them on my new Alcans and they are nice. A couple places sell em. Low Range and Poly Performance I think

 

not sure if there are poly bushings for the dakar packs

 

check out low range, they have factory leaf spring bushings you can use

 

Yeah this is very true. I might not make it there til April as it is looking right now anyway. And what what dodge is getting the axles pulled from it?

 

He got his hands on a junkyard Dodge.

 

Oh nice. That is where he got the 60s he was talking about earlier lol

 

So poly if they exist for Dakar otherwise regular ones are fine.

Thanks guys!

 

Waiting to see this Baha in person

 

I haven't researched but if the eye opening on the Dakars is standard then any Poly Bushing set should fit. Unless the Dakars have a rubber bushing pressed in them already.

 

Good info on the Timbrens. I need to order a set. Thanks!

 

She's not little second gen she was last year.

 

you might actually follow me through everything this year

that was priceless haha "every time I watch you go through something i think, damn there has to be an easier way to do this"

 

Haha good memory! I was so new to wheeling. I had been one time before that and it wasn't anything like Moab. I learned so much in that one week.

I will definitely be following you through the harder stuff this year.

 

Even Rusty Nail??

 

I said harder, not hardest! lol Riff Raff and no left turn look pretty intense.


Last year I was intimidated by the end of hells revenge and top of the world. I have a lot more truck to work with this year, but I still have a 1300 mile trip home.

 

you'll be fine. im bring a welder.

 

Well in that case I guess I have nothing to worry about!

 

You could also disassemble the rear diff and drive home in a stylish front wheel drive Taco! Top Gear Style!!!
