Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Fucking done with Radflo.
Who has Kings/Fox ready to go for JD +2k kit?

 

Lol, probably nobody.

 

I know. Every issue that comes up centers around the fact that they couldn’t follow plain instructions. Oh and they have built em before and since for YotaMafia. Several sets too.
Just tired at this point.

 

They were valved wrong? or what?

 

What's the issue you have going on?

 

Wrong Misalignment spacers that took over a week for correct ones to be shipped

1. Wrong misalignment spacers that took over a week for the correct ones to show up. So we could attempt to cycle at least.
2. Wrong resi hose lengths and fittings where they’re supposed to be and clocked for clearance
3. Wrong lower rod end and spring cup causing steering interference and binding

So currently truck is basically is undrivable again because the tie rods hit the spring cups and springs. Of which we don’t have the tools or means to change the rod end. Which upon itself will change the end to end lengths.

 

Yeah, I would probably be pretty wild myself. JD shows stuff in stock but I'm not sure how accurate it is. Maybe @81Trekker could confirm or deny. Hell even the rear free bleeds show in stock.

 

He told me yesterday 9months. If by chance he does have in stock. Um yea I’ll snatch it up.

 

Ouch. The wait definitely blows. I want to start on mine, but that would mean taking a gamble that everything shows up when its supposed to. Been hearing some people got stuff way early and others are beyond the original lead time.

 

I mentioned to Radlfo that it seems my order was rushed. They said oh the original order was Aug 27, 2021. Yea and I didn’t get a call about shipping them until 3 days before Christmas. Which they still didn’t show up until Jan 7 2022

 

I feel your pain. Ordered my shocks from Locked on 8/12/21 with an estimated 12 week lead time. Didn’t receive any updates nor shipping info. Every time I ask I get “it’ll ship at the end of the month” 4 months in a row. I gave up and cancelled.

My JD +4 kit will sit in the box I guess until I can find something that works or until these kings show up.

 

So now the question is King or Fox with DSC?

 

Are you using an APP and bluetooth dongle or Scan Gauge to monitor your temps? If you are not, then there's a good possibilty that you are running hotter than you think you are. I over heated twice in the past, the second time was recent. The stock temp gauge doesn't move until temps go past 230. And when it does actually move, it doesnt really move enough to indicated an over heating condition..in my experiences.

Right now i'm experiencing coolant system issues that suggests a restricted radiator. The worst case is maybe some weird and very slow head gasket leak that is causing an over pressure of the coolant system. This morning I ordered a Mishimoto two row aluminum radiator and some other goodies from them. I'll be installing a mechanical gauge for the coolant and trans temps along with a trans cooler and e-fan on the cooler. I'm also just about done with a spreadsheet of stuffs needed for a PWM electric fan and controller for the radiator making it a closed system. The trans temp gauge will control the relay for the cooler fan.

If anyone here knows off hand what size fittings that are on the transmission side cooler lines, that's where ideally I would like to install a manifold for the temp sensor probe..that would be great!!!

This is the trans cooler and fan that will be installed.. unless someone here can suggest a better option

I have an UltraGuage installed to monitor temps, mainly tranny but I have it setup for engine temp too.

I’m sure the factory setup isn’t ideal to run in mid summer but I don’t recall a time of being concerned about engine temps. A lot of it is application though, and I’m not trying to go anywhere fast so that could be the main difference.

I have, however, experienced and been concerned about high tranny temps and will absolutely be looking into solutions. At the end of the day, if you have the expendable cash to go all aluminum they are sexy. Just seems costly to do for minimal return if it’s not a consistent issue.

You ever test fit those fenders?

 

they fit like a dream... behind my garage. I've been working like mad lately. The front will come apart here soon and then fenders go on.

 

2” mcneil? Or do you have something else going

 

Yep, will run them for now. Thrash and trash, which is where they were headed without me, so game on! Will replace with adv glass later on. The OEMs I'll keep because Harry's handiwork looks sharp and want to recreate that look again. Feel really bad for wrecking them but shit happens and had the front driver get smashed and the passenger side already had some broken tabs.

 

We need pics. Maybe updates on IG too.
