Long Travel BS Thread

Kartek hasn’t broken on me yet. And they have a nice blue.

 

I’ve only been working on my truck outside, and it’s been consistently over 105* here. My garage has been over 120. It’s been hell.

 

I choose to work on my truck in the winter and park it for summer since it’s too hot to go to the Dez.
Nothing breaks when you don’t drive it.
The perfect plan!

 

Summer night runs in the desert are the best!

 

Does anyone have a spare ball joint adaptors for an

I modified mine to install my LT kit but it was a bad idea.

Looking to buy a pair.

 

I do, but I'm about to fly out for work. How soon do you need them?

 

Not yesterday. Next week or so would be ideal. This is going to be a little bit of a project. Just trying to collect parts at this point

 

I've got 2

 

How much you want for them?

 

Just cover the shipping. Dm me your info and I can get a quote tomorrow

 

Sounds good! Thanks

 

Also,

Anyone interested in some rear Fox external bypass for their build? Have a few options available. Shoot me a DM.

 

I've had poly performance limit straps for last decade. I like them because they limit.

Shower thoughts this morning- they say 1/12 stretch for limit straps under load, but how much stretch over time? Anyone noticed or measured after a couple years?

 

I was thinking about that too as I browsed the last couple days. Just have to keep an eye on them I guess?

Had a bubble bath thought as well....if they are staying the stretch ratio is at the WLL, most of us in our little Toyotas will not ever see that max. So is the stretch linear? If so, we could pretty easily determine a more realistic stretch ratio, and gain an inch or more of safe, usable travel.

 

you should fill out an online review “ i like them because they limit “

 

Maybe we need to use chains as limit straps like some older shitboxes. No guessing as to where those tap out

 

I've installed and used tmr straps forever. They also limit

 

Angle of the photo isn’t great but, mine stretched quite a bit from approximately 2 years use. I can take a tap measure to them once I’m local again.

 

You might be into something.

But the new school version.... Traditional limit straps, and then right next to them, some 50,000 lb no stretch dyneema lengthed right before the shock limit.
