Long Travel BS Thread

Cut the rears if you really want, but I'd just wait. Mine were already cut, so when I went LT in the rear I just cut more. ( after the tires crushed the fender )

This is how mines looks:

 

Does anyone have any advice on solid mounting lowers? Yes I have heimed uppers. Since the truck is down because of motor mounts, I figured that I may as well get another replacement rack from jotozone and solid mount my lowers

 

why hold off on off roading, when you can just take them off?
i may be a little different than most, where i need desert therapy at least once a week.

ill do 4 hours of work just to go out for a few hours, knowing that i will have to do hours more of work because of that.

because he wants to go offroading.....

because he doesn't want to destroy them...

and yes, it could ruin your fenders and start to gouge your tires if you mash hard.

At least you are working on building credit.

I have always had a well paying job as a young kid, so I was always able to pay everything in cash. Now when i actually want to buy a house, I can't because i never financed anything. so now i have 2 credit cards and have to have credit lines for at least a year before i can even start to do anything.

i agree with others that maybe financing a gaming system wasnt the best, but who gives a shit. like you said, it's your money that you worked hard for. spend it how you wish.

i would take off the fenders and go wheeling, if you are rubbing.
haters gonna hate.

 

Doh lol
I saw the TRD off road sticker on the truck and thought that was you're current truck.
My bad

 

Guess you missed the slow speed sign?

 

Dude just take the flares off and a simple trace tool with a sharpie. Go get everyones favorite tool the sawzall or cutoff wheel and cut the fuckers. You're gonna replace them anyways so who cares if you hack them up. It'll look fine that way and WAY better and also LEGAL with them just trimmed.

 

Oh shit son.....last piece of the front end puzzle came in. Fully fabbed 4x4 spindles (Solo). They are heavy as f.....



Going to build my front first......soon......!

 

Damn..i want those..

 

also interested in this as far as bolt size and location for the lcas. also whats misalignments are you guys running on the heimed uppers?

 

put the lca's in the center...use weld washers and bolt size im not sure....9/16" ?

 

Also, while you have that sawzall out cut that stinger off the front bumper. I'm sure it wont be getting any use on a 2wd truck.

 

yea i guess id have to make a crush sleeve for the bushing lcas so size might vary

 

Oh come on this guy didn't do anything to deserve all this bullshit ...that was just a completely unwarranted hateful thing to say to him.

 

Seems like a lot of pointless shit talking going on in this thread right now

 

yes, DONT run without a crush sleeve, bushings will be destroyed quick. LSK makes a a great kit that i used to run, comes with everything you need for a second gen and new bushings.

 

2wd trucks are ghey





kidding....






4wd ftw...

 

This is what I'm doing with tc cam gussets. Pics in my build

 

Just go with delrin bushings. I've been running them for several years without issue. You do get a lot more road feel out of them, and TC doesn't advise them for a street truck. I also have heimed uppers.

Edit: Do you mean gusseting the alignment cams? If so I just tack weld mine. Pro tip: You can't just center them even with heimed uppers. Push your LCA as far forward as possible (max caster). Rakes it out like a dirtbike so when you hit the face of a whoop you don't deflect as much, you sort of pitch front to rear like a boat. It also gives you more room for big tires at full stuff.

 

i ran my rear all the way in and the front all the way out (bent frame)
