Long Travel BS Thread

ok so i might not be solid axle swapping my truck anymore. at least yet. i found a front diff with the gears i need, and locked , for cheap, so im probably picking that up and just gonna use it as a crawler and not go balls deep in 4LO so i dont break more shit and just keep the mass romping to the rhino. haha. thats only if he sells it to me and not someone else.

 

well that will work out nicely then. I'll keep my fingers crossed if you get that rhino I want to ride in it

 

im definitely getting the rhino! im putting the down deposit on it in 2 hours when i get off work. im just waiting on "gaurenteed" funds to enter my account. banks are slow
i cant wait. it needs quite a bit of work but it already runs and drives

 

Sweet I'm Jealous I saw kalebs girlfriend's dad's sr1 at sycamore and it was crazy fast I cant wait to see what you do next.

 

thats sick i didnt know her dad has one. it seems like everyone is getting those now.

the SR1 lucas class is pretty large. im going to enter a few races, maybe

 

There's a video of it on his Instagram I'll tag you in it

 

ok sweet!

 

Can't wait to put these in

 

Mine clear on my 2.5" bypasses by a hair over 1/2". When I upgrade to 3.0's I'm hoping if they touch its just a kiss. I have to but at fulllllll gnarticulation for the tire to get to that point. That rarely happens for me.

 

Nice

 

You like kissing your shocks? lol

 

so whats the deal with your steering? did they ever finish it?

 

Getting very close. Had to do some reverse engineering on the box and had to rely on a machine shop out of state and that has taken 5 weeks just to get what they said would take a week. Put everything together and had a few leaks to address due to seals that melted when new fittings were welded on the box. Once the new seals come in (next few days) it should be rolling next week and out int he dirt next weekend to test out.

 

damn that sucks the machine shop is out of state for stuff like that. It really can put a delay on thing haha. Well im excited to see how it turns out once they finish everything up.

 

I've seen him kiss a lot of dirty, dirty things, in countries south of us that we won't mention, but not his shocks haha

 

Someone school me on running a tube as a bumpzone when it comes to bypasses. What are you guys running as far as bumps when it comes to bypasses on your rear set up.

 

Blocks of wood and or tennis balls.

 

Valve the piston way stiff on compression, then run your comp tubes mostly open. When the piston travels past the last tube shaft speed slows wayyyy down, acting as a bump. That's what I did up front and I can't bottom it out. I mean, I could, but my balls aren't big enough for that kind of 100' super huck. Out back I'm running 4" stroke Radflo 2.5" bumps.

 

Yeah really tests my patience. Just found out that one of the seals we need is on back order and won't be here to next Wednesday lol. Never ends.
