Long Travel BS Thread

There is a dude on DR selling 51" ONXs for $1200. If that's a better price you might still be able to cancel your order.

Alright LT badasses....Dual spares on the rear, obviously it looks badass but what is the main purpose? I always assumed it was for the weight and the extra insurance of having 1 more spare...is there another underlying reason to have a dual spare carrier with LT rears?

 

Thanks, I don't know if that is the pro series or not. I'll message him to find out.

 

Yeah the weight is pretty nice...but I cut mine off and went to a single...looks cleaner in my opinion

 

Weight. It makes it more stable.

 

Skip ahead to the 40 second mark. That's why I carry two, but it's also for weight distribution and to somewhat absorb the impact of a nerf.

Thanks for the replies guys, that video is crazy tho man haha! I've been trying to decide between a single spare/tire gate and the dual spare mount cutting into the bed and all

 

Even for out wheeling having a second full size spare is comforting, plus if you get a flat you can still have some peace of mind and continue having fun.

 

Thanks, yeah he sent me one of those links too. I would prefer to upgrade to all aluminum and more cooling capacity but this seems almost too easy.

 

What's everyone running for tires? Almost time for some new ones for me. I want to run the toyo mts but in a 35 I'm just worried that they will be too heavy. Any imput?

 

BFG Km2 mudders. Love them

 

I'm running BFG baja's in 37" on double beadlocks. 150 lbs per corner. Valve and regear accordingly and use ARP wheel studs and weight is not much of an issue.

 

How do they do in sand? I've heard mixed reviews about them. Any issues with chuncking?

 

No issues with steering components?

 

Nope, but I don't rock crawl unless I have to. I also strongly believe that alignment has a lot to do with how long your steering rack lasts, specifically caster.

 

Yeah that's pretty much what I've heard. I work at a tire shop so I've seen it all. I'm running the bfg AT's at the moment and I liked them, until they started chunking :/ I do have close to 40k on them though so that's not a bad gig haha

 

Pro Series? An Onx bar that costs more?

:Wallet Blown:

 

At full pressure they dig but not aired down. No chunking at all and I'm hard on them.

But I am running 37" and have a v8 so no promises ha

 

Well we will see. Hopefully it's as good as they say it is

 

The 3.0 radiator works good with the 3.4, I believe it's thicker then the 3.4 radiator, I have that set up on mine with a s/c and it never gets hot
