Long Travel BS Thread

Saw this in Pasadena today

 

I have a Free gen 2 steering rack if anyone wants it came out of the truck working no leaks that i know of. Upgraded to the tundra rack so I don’t need it

 

I'd take it if I were going that way anytime soon.

 

I’ll take it if @desertjunkie760 can’t make it. Im out towards UCLA everyday, I can come by one of these days this week.

 

It’s yours my friend. I’m not heading that way anytime in the near future.

 

yea you can have it just let me know what day works, you can pm me

 

Such a cool guy! @Tbasch

Wait me? I wasn’t there lol

 

Dang so there's another grey double cab with regular rear shackles! Lol I wasn't sure but was too lazy to look for the pic you posted lol

Never mind, found it:

 

Make that 3 if I pull my wrap off now lol.



So @Tbasch you have any axle wrap? Mine is crazy bad and gonna build an anti wrap bar

 

I don’t have rear shackles like that lol Im running a DMZ sua, heres a picture but its a bad one lol cant find a good one rn

 

My bad I had you mixed up with @Y2kbaja

I believe those pics are the same truck.

@Tbasch - new meaties?

 

Haha all good and Yes sirr went to up to 37s

 

Gotcha, yeah I chopped my DMZ kit out and built my new setup. Nothing wrong with how the dmz kit worked, just trying to make things more ideal for my usage.

So @Y2kbaja you have any axle wrap with your setup? How long are your shackles?

 

12" shackles and yes, probably have axle wrap. But I cruise a little slower now and just pull the fun lever (4wd) whenever the road is inclined.

 

Would probably be easier and better clearance to try a panhard bar behind the axle before attempting some kinda ladder bars

 

panhard bars are for controlling lateral axle movement.

 

What he said. I need to keep the axle from trying to rotate about itself. Going to run the ruff stuff anti wrap bar inbetween the exhaust and driveshaft.

I threw a cross bar in directly below the carrier bearing between the frame rails and will have the front pivot point facing rear wards off that. Then so I don’t lose any clearance I’ll run the shackle on the top side of the pivot opposite of the pic. Lower tube will be parallel to the driveshaft so no loss of clearance there and it will potentially protect it from rocks and what not

 

You’re basically one or two links away from from a three link at this point. Might as well make the jump
