Long Travel BS Thread

Maybe they charged you for the shirt

 

Ha yes they did and it came to $14 with the shirt. Then I get it two days later and just looked at invoice out of curiousity and it said $14.something plus $18 shipping.... Just thought that was kinda lame. I shoulda just went with DSM like I usually do.

 

Oh shit haha i thought 18 was the total thats rediculous!

 

Sounds like you have a cooked ground. Have you checked the ground that comes out of the dash fuse panel ? Have you tested the power that feeds into it?

 

This is a dumb question but, when you turn the key forward, nothing happens right? No radio, no headlights, no ding ding ding noise?

 

I'm going to test tht after class ^^ nope turn the key and nothing at all happens

 

Test your leads going to your ignition for power. A surge can do really funny things to a vehicle.

 

You guys have any tips installing TC axle shafts? Or know if they even fit Napa CV's? I'm about at the end of my patience.

 

For a second gen? No, spline count is different from OEM.

 

Everything is all cut up and disassembled. Couldn't even get to a point where I'd need the snap ring.

Good lord...$400 per CV or go cry myself to sleep

 

OEM CV's are a lot stronger over aftermarket anyways. And usually aftermarket does not have the degree of motion at the outers when compared to OEM. I don't know how the Napa version compares against stock. But the ones from Autozone and other similar parts stores all suck.

 

I have 2 extra oem cv's that I pulled from an auto wrecker. $35 each. One is my spare. The other I can sell, but shipping is going to suck.

 

The Napa remans are supposed to be made from OEM components. So I am told, always have a couple in the toolbox but have not ran them yet.

 

I tried using aftermarket with my currie shafts, the aftermarkets were completely different sized.. :/ Had to hit a wrecking yard for a spare...

 

The hard part for me was getting the shaft out of the joints. It was cake from there. Tried Monkeyproofs method of sliding a pipe over the axle and giving it a couple whacks on the ground. Popped off the joint in two tries.

 

And the battery is good? You have a loose / no connection from your ground or hot to the ignition.

 

Did the pipe trick to. 2 hits and the axle came out. Not sure shy people cut, rebuilt 8 shafts so far for friends and every single one popped out with the pipe trick.

 

to add to this, are you still getting 12v when your turn the key at the battery?

 

Ok, am I missing anything?

Camburg LT
Camburg Secondary Shock Mount
King 2.5 8" coilovers with R/R
King 2.5 8" bypasses with R/R
TC coil bucket gussets
TC cam tab gussets

Just gonna stick with bushing uppers for now, if my alignment just keeps getting fucked I'll look harder into heimed uppers

Secondary question- can I use maxtrac spindles with this kit? If not I'll just order the camburg spindle, but would like to save a grand lol

Let's keep it civil please

 

Also have super bumps...any recommendations on a different bump? Or am I good?
