Long Travel BS Thread

got it, may be where I am going after this work.

 

To me, it seems as though heavily loaded trucks are simply more suited to a simple link setup. Just so many damn variables with these trucks when it comes to weight etc. Reality is. A simple link setup probably wouldn’t cost a whole lot more than a full SUA with bypasses.

Not saying you won’t get it right. I’m sure Deaver will get it figured out. But then you have the issue of replacing a custom pack when the original claps out like they all do.

 

I saw that robby gordon/ speed utv filed a patent for a fully independent rear sus that was very similar recently.

 

If you're having JD do their SUA setup with bypasses, you'll have a cross bar running against the bed wall between the two wheel wells which will eat up that space. Just a heads up.

 

I have a bedcage

 

Did you also see all the drama? cause he’s being sued on quite a few fronts I believe

 

2019 Raptor BuyBack getting scrapped, estimates are more than any potential profit to make sellable.

 

Changed the plugs and wires on my dads V8 a few weeks ago, god what a nightmare those are to work on.

 

Which is why I prefer to remove the Cab whenever possible.

Im currently working on a motor swap on this one. 2.7L missing Piston #4, all I saw was the top of the connecting rod when looking through the spark plug hole with a bore scope camera

 

finished in time for the new high clearance rear bumper to arrive to cut some more

 

Just had the truck weighed 3000# front 3520# rear 6500#gross with me in the cab (185#) This daily driven weight no camping gear or food and water. Both fuel tanks full.

She is a pretty Pig!!

 

Jeez wtf how does one lose a piston inside a motor?. Or was it never there

 

Ford has been having terrible luck with their piston oil squirters. The check balls get all gunked up and stop squirting. This either locks up the rings with carbon deposits or just destroys everything.

 

Ah I misread that then, its in there somewhere, just in a few bits an pieces

 

What are the dimensions of the aux fuel tank? Or more, what are the dimensions of the box it fits in.

Last picture has the design.

Ed: now that I look at it it has no dimensions, huh!?

 

i thought i was going crazy lol. No dimensions. Probably, 33x33ish I'd think, just trying to see how deep it is.

 

I don't know if they still offer two sizes but one extended below the frame by 6" (25 Gal) and one was 8" (31 gal) if I remember correctly. Instead of running the plastic tank you can also go to someone like Harmon (who JD recommends) for a custom. One of many reasons I appreciate JD is the amount of info provided in their descriptions. Most other companies don't provide any. They just say hear it is, and it is what it is.

 

Got me beat, geezus, hope you have a supercharger.....

 

tank they have linked on the aux system page shows 28x28x11
