Long Travel BS Thread

Who's got the best of each?

 

you pick for COs: King, Icon, Fox, SAW.
you pick for UCAs: Total Chaos, Camburg, Built right.
You pick for rear shocks: King, Fox, Icon, Saw, Billistine.
And probably Deaver leafs.


Everything has no order.

 

hit up hass and let him know. he's good about fixing shit on his kits

 

mr king sir.


Hmm I remember seeing some red on your bypasses

 

lol when it comes to bypasses its all about how you build them. I picked up my 2.5x16 SAWs for $700, had them rebuilt to my specs and new shafts for another $200, so pretty much brand new triples for half the cost

 

After i strip off all the paint and see if there are anymore ill hit up Hassim. Hopefully he can fix it cause it is a used kit.

 

really depends on your budget. how much money you looking to spend? from there we can point you in the right direction for the best quality parts in that price range

 

6g on tires and ALLPRO stage II lift kit or go LT?

my only problem is i know nothing about LT kits and what to get. hoping someone could point me in the right direction. i have a 2011 DC trd OffRoad 4x4.

 

what kind of wheeling do you do in west palm beach?

 

nothing much to do in west palm other than the occasional sugar sand pit and what not but i'm going to start heading up to central FL or other states for some trails. i'm hoping of eventually moving out of FL but in the mean time i'll just travel around for spots.

my main reason for looking at LT is because i want to do some desert runs eventually. i've been told (by FL local shops) that a lift kit are more usefull in FL but LT just look sooo damn nice. then again those guy were idiots.

 

Does anyone know if the heim steering from Total Chaos would work with Camburg LT? It doesnt look like there would be any reason it wouldnt work

 

I dont think a "lift" kit would ever be more useful. Definetely more economical and you might be able to find more useful things for your money. But the lift itself would not be more useable in any condition in my opinion

 

if anything i always thought a LT kit would be better because of the added articulation and wider stance.

dammit now i need to do some research and see what i can get for the same or around that same amount as lift kit and tires+rims.

what could i get LT wise with 6G, count tires and rims?

 

the All Pro LT with Foxes and extended CVs runs total $4685 on AP's website. You dont really need new rims just get some nice tires which runs a lil under $1000, then the install cost of everything you're looking at around $6000

 

i have the off road 17's rims my only worry is that the new tire i put on it will be too narrow or am i wrong? because if i am then i am going the LT way for sure!!!!!

 

you are afraid the new tire is gonna be too narrow or the stock 17" rim will be too narrow?

The only thing you have to worry about with stock rims is their backspacing which is a little over 5" so if you slap on wide ass tires, they may rub on the up control arms. I dont know how far out the AP upper control arms are, you might wanna ask mxpatriot or monkey proof, but you can also get wheels spacers which are a LOT cheaper than new rims.

 

yea spacers would be my back up plan and if all else fails then get new rims. plus i really like the look of the off road rims, i could just get them refinished in black (kinda like those FJ rims that are black with red TRD on the center cap.)

 

But also rims can be cheap if you shop around. You can find decent non beadlocks for under $100 each (mine were like $84 each). I wouldnt wanna put wheel spacers on the front of a long travel but I dont know much

 

i ran spacers up front mine for a year with no problems. Im running spacers in the rear right now to clear my bypass tubes. As long as they are hub centric, or you get them machined to fit your hub, you should be good.

I have a set of gunmetal gray TRD Off Road rims for sale but they are in Cali if you are interested.
