Long Travel BS Thread

no its called, bought me a mig welder, lets see if this works.

 

What do you guys think of this...obviously it's not supposed to be like that.

 

to me it looks like your U-bolts arent tight. you can see less threads on the inner bolts

 

we did a aal redo on a truck over the weekend with a similar issue. it was the center pin not long enough to get a tight squeeze (the oem one was too short). i suggest tightening that up first.

 

I think its a good thing you have only been hitting fire roads

 

Could this possibly affect the pinion angle of the 3rd and create some growling/grinding noise?

 

some more pre long travel reinforcement

 

Nice. Do you plan on going with LSK's kit? I really like mine.

 

yah ive been sweet talking the wife lately

 

Hahaha. Its worth the hassle.

 

after my march spending spree me and her struck a deal though, every dollar i spend on the truck she gets to spend on herself, + i have to put away an extra 2 dollars to every dollar into the bank acount and .50 cents to the dollar for vacation

so in theory just the kit alone will cost me around 20k.....


but thats what credit cards are for right..... pay for it silently and swear my truck looked that way before

 

Anthony (DTFtacoma) has been doing some work to my truck the last couple of weeks, heres a few teaser shot of the bed cage what yah think?...bolt on too im stoked on it!

 

Hecka steel bro! Get extra!

 

Pinion angle will create a driveshaft vibration.

Another thing to check is the rear wheel.bearings. when they go the make a growling noise that varies with speed.

Also, looks like someone didn't torque the u bolts. Something that gets overlooked alot. U bolts stretch alot and most guys don't use a torque wrench

 

Anyone needing fenders?

What the problem is? When you SAS your rig you end up with this giant pile of scrap parts. Why not re-purpose the UCA's into some bling shock towers?

 

anybody need 37x12.5x17 bfg a/t spares? my buddy decided to go with 39" tires for his truck and has 2 brand new 37's lying around. hes asking 350 ea. he paid 375 each like a month ago.

 

Hahaha. No. I'm going to mount my truck in my yard and turn it into a trophy. Lol jk. Ya I'm down for further testing. I did a little shakedown but I could only beat on it so hard with a MT rear. :/

 

brophy truck to you sir
