Long Travel BS Thread

Luckily around tranny alley (RM88) the wind was blowing the complete opposite direction so it was perfect to see all the trucks come flying by.

 

So what's the deal with smogging a truck that has a fuel cell? It's a 2002 ...it doesn't look like it had the stock filler neck...was thinking I could register it in Arizona at my cousins house if it's easier?

 

That would be easier to do. Smog isn't that bad out here. I know a first gen with a fuel cell out here and he passed without any filler neck just directly into the cell

 

If the check engine light works but is not on you pretty much pass in AZ, also need a functioning gas cap too

 

The cel does work...no clue about the gas cap though

 

I don't know how the visual inspection figures into CA smog laws referring to fuel cells, or does it ??

 

Spindle looks beef as fuck, got a price in mind ?

 

Lol I ran tires to pit b around noon and I was so stoked I wasn't there all day, it was fun getting on the throttle on the way out tho haha

 

yeah i had to run power steering fluid over around that time and we were gettin on it for a bit. it was fun for sure though.

 

It is almost up to the smog techs interpretation of the code. IMO you need to be as close to that as possible.
this is how i would or will do mine when that point comes,
Any and all lines going into or coming out of the OEM tank need to be installed onto the new tank and function as OEM

and yes OEM gas cap also, as it gets tested on its own.

And and, I would paint it black so its not flashy racing red looking.

 

it still has all the evap stuff...do they only check the gas cap stuff on older trucks? the smog station i go just checks for a cel and then im on my way....they barely speak English though lol

 

Geting it aligned

 

if they offer pass or retest, just go in there and see if they flag anything, if they catch it have them cancel and get whatever they note and retest

 

I run a full size 35" spare on my bumper so my OE spare is gone and I have a few ideas for that space under the bed so I was wondering if anyone can speak to the actual structural contributions that X brace / spare holder makes ? Figured the LT crowd would know...?

 

You mean the stock crossmember? Our frames flex to much already without taking that out. Leave it in or replace it with something similar if you remove it.

 

This is the best they could get, is it too bad?

 

i dont know much about allignment, but i do know that with any lift or long travel the "in spec" numbers will be different than stock. so since it says its in the red, it doesnt necessairly mean its not in spec for THAT kit. make sence?

 

I'm looking for a Total Chaos 2" LT kit or Total Chaos stock length lower control arms .

Send me a pm if you have any info. Thanks

 

check with trac performance. they make a very nice +2 kid for 2nd gen's.

 

Ouch! I hope that wasn't designed to be that far off, being negative caster is going to make the truck feel very twitchy and not want to drive straight at speed, and the wheel probably does not return to center on its own

My Camburg kit aligns to stock spec
