Long Travel BS Thread

Dmz sua being ordered this week! Finally getting the rear set up, all I have left is gussetting, bedcage, sua, new coils in the front, revalve coilovers, buy/revalve bypasses, get rear glass. Not much left right!?

It'll all (fingers crossed) be done by the superstition meet though!

 

then why'd you go long travel? haha there's always going to be a weak point to fix.

if you're complaining about front diff clearance and small tires, a lift spindle is exactly what you need, which is why i mentioned it.

based on what you're saying though, i think you just need to pin it

 

Yeah, who in their right mind would start a never ending project like that....

 

Lol. Sigh

 

any truck youre looking at getting will be never ending whether it's upgrading or just maintaining.


but glws.

 

yes that sounds about right.

the only way to make our trucks fast is to keep her wined up nice and high right below that rev limiter. my truck is always bouncing off the rev limiter but if im not, she bogs down and has no power.


my truck is a never ending fucking MONEY PIT.
im tired of it.
im getting a R1 Rhino and am using my truck as strictly crawling now.

 

haha I always see it around, its built by baja fab lol. Did you stayed at the Araiza?

 

So just slap a URD S/C on there, get your shocks dialed in and call it a day man!

There is no such thing as a lift spindle for 4x4... A drop bracket is the 4wd equivalent of a lift spindle and that won't really fix his clearance issue...

Bigger tires or moving your lower bumps to limit your up travel is about all you can do to increase that front diff clearance. I smack my diff skid here and there... My biggest fix for not hitting it in the whoops is to just pin the throttle before I get to the whoops and never let up until I am out of them. I usually redline out 2nd gear going through the ones in my area which is about 50 mph for me, but my rear end will start to buck at that point and I can't go any faster when my back tires aren't making contact with the ground... (I have lots of valving work to do on the rear though, so I should get better results once I get around to it)

 

I'll finish mine, drop in an LS, and sell it to you for 15k. Just sign here. ________.

 

Total Chaos 3.5 kit with kings remote res,still need to order the shocks but am not sure if I should go with the internal bypass or wait awhile and just get triple bypass shocks up front as well as just the plain king remote res.

 

I see a lot of ppl run king over fox. Why is that?

 

Kings FTW!

 

Stay-A-Ways ftw! Need to reseal my bypasses already and I have barely even put 500 miles on the truck since the rear install.

 

Ya I was there for the weekend for my friends wedding in Mexicali. I think my friend's cousin actually lives in the same neighborhood as you. (At least I assume you have a house there judging from some of the photos on your page?haha.) We had an after-party there.

 

If he's running factory valving in a coilovers AND bypass in the front it's going to be hard to get up to speed with that much dampening.

Edit:in a light truck

 

Cage it and call it a day. You have a great truck. It's not going to the fastest but it's light and will fit anywhere you want to take it.

 

LOL, haha that's why I went kings instead of sways

Nice! Talking about San Pedro?

 

FOA shocks ftw!!!!

 

my sway aways are fine. but have heard quite a few bad stories.
