Long Travel BS Thread

None so far. E-load I guess?
I don't do any rock crawling, only trails/roads and stuff in like ocotillo, johnson valley, barstow etc... pretty hard pack with no bog rocks

 

Im not sure if this is considered a lot but I have about an inch of preload on the coil overs. I also measured the up travel and with the add a leaf it’s about 6.5” until the axle hits the bump. So I think my original guess was off and I bet without that leaf I’ve got 4” up unloaded which seems a bit small.

 

Where are you getting your preload measurement from? What stroke bump stops do you have on the rear?

 

The bumps are 2” and the preload I just measured the exposed thread above the coil.

 

So roughly 8.5" of up travel in the rear which sounds about right. What length springs in the front?

 

Oh no that uptravel humber was assuming the bump was collapsed. Not until the pad touches the stop.

Front are just standard length coils that come on a long travel kit. I want to say 8”?

 

I'm running 650

So I just pulled another set of CVs apart to assemble some 934's, and I'll admit that I was wrong. The clips are different.

That said, I've been running the inner clips in mine for a while and a clip is a clip.

 

God I hope they last... just threw on the front wheels am about to drive her home after a month on the lift...

 

They hold the axle in the CV on the inner end, so don't see why they would hold it on the outer.

Basically I ran it without any clips for around a year of hard wheeling, but I ended up breaking one axle in a crazy spot where I was locked front and rear with the front right completely dropped out and cranked all the way to the right and it broke. The clip just needs to hold the axle in an extra centimeter, which is easy with the plunge of the 934. I'm not worried about it in the least bit anymore.

 

Makes sense, I agreed with the logic and did use the inner clips. Here she is completed for now

whas up

 

Anyone in here successfully mount and plumb transmission cooler with a fan to their bed on a 2nd gen ?

 

@81Trekker has done quite a few, he can chime in and share pics when he sees this tag

 

Those look like they’ll do the job keeping your Tranny cool.

Did you get them plumbed in yet? That’s my biggest ? before jumping into this…

 

Yes they are plumed, you can buy fittings that go from the Toyota tranny to -6... it’s super easy

 

X2 have a single cooler mounted and plumbed in the same spot, also added a temp sensor to the hotline using a T fitting... super easy

 

A bit off topic but for those that tow your truck to go wheeling, what width trailer do you use? I’m in the market and wondering if I can get away with an 82” wide since it’s so common, but my truck is a few inches wider than that with the LT. Idk where on the trailer they measure the width so idk how much wiggle room there is. Any input is appreciated.

 

You will need drive over fenders with your wheel offset. At 0mm you just barely make 82”
