Long Travel BS Thread

Whatever you do, build a slider for that rack if you plan on keeping rear steer r&p. It'll strengthen it up a lot and Ann years to the life of them.

 

New Trac Performance Kit is on and ran flawlessly

 

Wanna elaborate on this?

 

I need to build one of those slider deals. Just need more info on them as well

So what is the lower tube made out of? Are the ITE adapter parts custom??

Lower tube is probably .250 wall tubing. 1.75 maybe. Bushing on either side with set screws, solid rod inside that has been drilled and threaded to bold on the slider blocks. It's just to pick up some of the flex off the rack.

 

So really just a tube with a bar in it that's connected to the ITE?

 

More or less. Tight tolerances inside the bushing ends. Delrin or poly would work fine.

 

Went to Oco with the new truck, lots of fun, like a big couch. Needs a couple minor things, and could use some more up travel in the rear. All in all I'm stoked!






Pup liked the new truck too..... and french fries

 

My pup is loving the tundy too. Bring it up to pismo soon! We'll all go rip around

 

You're going to have to do some clearancing on that bushing tube. that is too tight and way too much where for the short time you've had that on

 

It's probably totaled

 

What about Delrin?

 

I like this idea, and I would like to make it pismo during the day and partying in SLO at night. and Firestone. Yes lets make that trip happen!

 

that same thing happened to me first trip out...switched to delrin and it never happened again

 

theres a trip the 23rd of this month! come out..should be a nice turn out

 

Me too. I've had the TC "Nylatron" bushings for 30,000 miles or so, no problems or severe wear at all. Those LCA mounts bend easily, make sure they aren't too warped and don't overtighten the alignment cam bolts.
