Long Travel BS Thread

Damn why’d you guys get me thinking haha. Now I’ve got an itch to chop the truck up

 

The only time I don't have an urge to chop the truck up is when it's on jackstands being chopped up. Then: fuck that noise, let's go wheeling.

 

More so in the relation of stroke than diameter.

 

Yeah apparently I’m the same way. A few weeks ago I was just standing near the front of the truck and the wife asked if I was thinking about making a new front bumper. Which I wasn’t until she mentioned it.

Current needs are to fix my shackle hangers and fix/ redo some skid plates. Then build the wife a front bumper for her 4Runner before I do more “wants” to the truck.

 

Ha, my wife was asking a few weeks ago when I'd have mine back on the road: 20 hours or so if I do it quickly, August if I do it right.

Then I got cleared hot to buy the parts and do it right, but keep the option to do it quickly if The 'Rona gets bad.

So now I'm waiting on new Dirt King spec Kings and designing new spindles.

 

Completely agree. I use my truck as a 'truck' all the time. Dump runs, camping gear, wood for home projects, bed space is invaluable. One of the main reasons I haven't switched to 35's is because I don't want to have a swing out or store it in the bed. When I had my SUA install done, I had Solo Motorsports move the factory spare tire winch contraption moved so my 33" spare wouldn't touch the rear pumpkin.

I drag the rear tire on some steep ascents and drop-offs but for the most part it is a non issue.

 

Does anyone know for certain if the TC extended axles shafts for the +3.5 kit work with the Camburg +3.5 kit? I know they are both 3.5, but I have a feeling they are a different length.

 

Yes they work

 

That is true. But with a custom layout I can do specific dd tubes to make it a little easier compared to party mode.

 

I'm filling the bed around the tire, then just pulling everything out when at camp, and sleeping air mattress / softopper.

 

Want to just sell the flip pac.......

Buy it so I don’t

 

I’d have to sell my current shell

 

Looking forward to this project.

 

That’s for a much later date. But this weekend I did manage to hopefully finish beefing up my rear shackle hangers for the last time.



Used some leftover 1/4” wall from my sliders.

 

You’re ditching your 4wd, so I wouldn’t worry about beefing up the bamf hangers. They’re definitely going to be good enough for you. My issues were from dropping the truck on rocks while crawling.

 

Shackles and Hangers are available here also:

He has them in stock right now. He is a Vendor on here also.
@CaptainReverso is running them on his truck.

 

Gotcha. Yes the factory ones are crap. Most aftermarket are good for the majority of people. I’m just not the majority of people lol

 

Well. Thought I was gonna get my bypass mounts welded on.







guess I’ll be buying the Total Chaos secondary shock mounts since they allow for some more tolerances.

 

The coil bucket gussets were not made with heims in mind. I just cut down the outer spacers to get the gussets to fit properly.
