Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

Keeping stock fenders. Ive already cut mine for 35's just had the flares off but im going to put those back on so it dont look too ridiculous lol. Im going with DK coil bucket gussets.

 

I was pretty deadset on the Camburg trail kit until guy messaged me about this and the deal he had lol.

 

LT kit showed up. Everything seems to be well made. All grade 8 hardware. All uniballs are fk. Bushings were changed out to dirtking ones. Even came with the ground down steering stop adapter for the spindle. Guy included that. LCA are heavy and internally welded.

 

Got a lot done this weekend to the driver side still got to do the passenger but should go quicker than the driver since I have a handle o how to install everything now.

Anyways got the spindles painted and cleaned up. New wheel bearings and axle seals. Extended the tie rods. Welded a 3/16 plate to the frame and then welded the strap mount to it, so it won’t tear. Also painted the frame back and I stalled upper control arm. Having an issue with my lower control arm because of the MC gussets. About a 16th of an issue bent in. On the inboard side and can’t get a grinder in there to grind down. Already tried to pry back with a long prybar those gussets make it extremely difficult. My stock arms were super hard to remove because the were welded around the arms.

 

One side down until coils and cv come in which is Wednesday. Should be done with other side tomorrow.

 

Niceeee

 

We getting close!

 

Beeeef!!!

 

Thanks bud!

 

Well fininshed up some odds and ends today. Got an alignment and drive straight as an arrow. Bled the brakes so those are good to go. Lubed the Uni balls. Drives great! Very happy. Flexed out a tiny bit on a tree root in my neighborhood. Only thing near by I could find. But can’t wait to get it out and test it. And of course some pics!!!

 

LT really starting to grow on me! Very happy with the kit! Getting it on the trail Sunday!

 

Pretty happy with the flex. I’m gonna take about .25 off bumps to get that last little bit before arm binds. Overall I’m satisfied with it. Drove smoother Offroad at a higher tire pressure than my mid travel setup! Pics never show the reality lol
Cv could handle a little more droop but guess I would have to space my coil down for that cause it’s strapped about .4 inches from bottoming out to account for strap stretch

 

Looking killer man.

 

Thanks Bud!!

 

Moved my weboost to roof rack. Going to paint bracket black. Swivels nicely with a little force!

 

So use that antenna to let me know when we are meeting up...

 

Wind rock in OCT???

 

You said that for August....

 

Went with @Gilmorec61 to Irongap RD today. Man we had a blast but it was sloppy as all get out. I’m extremely pleased with my LT suspension it performed better than I had hoped and took a bunch of big hits today and no dents just paint chips. Ride is so smooth it’s insane. Enjoy the pics and vids. And of course I had some carnage lol. Driveshaft is pretty bad dented skid is toast sorry Hayden not my intention. Lost my bump stop somehow

well found some more damage lol. Bent the MC frame brace a little but looks like it actually protected the LCA mount.

think I did it on this hit lol.
