Long Travel BS Thread

the shocks you got dont fit?

 

the new set up not going so well eh? saw your thread on TTORA

 

Matt I took some pictures but most of the stuff was in the other storage area I'll take more tomorrow

 

whats the best way to mount the hf/craftsmen style jacks in the bed??? i dont have the skidplate for it yet...so just lookin fo advice.. marnes has that sweet dimple died tim's special.. but dunno Thanks in advance/special k for the photo op

 

thanks man, i saw them. the glass fenders look like they turned out really nice

 

Yeah they look factory. Sooo clean.

 

good question...

trifenix (member here) either sells or fabs some nice HF jack mounts. i'm very happy with the one i bought from him... just a thought, you said you hadn't bought the skid yet

 

what springs they using for the SUA set up? custom deavers?

 

Some type of deavers. I'll ask serena tomorrow more about it. The one with the glass is the same truck that they are doing the SUA to. They had ryan's in there but the LT kit wasn't on it. It might have been on the raptor frame they have doing some more tweeks to. They had another white one that a hadicap guy drives but they were just fixing a diff that he smashed on a rock. the handicap guy drives the piss out of that thing.

for after work

 

i figure if anyone has issues like this, it's probably you guys. just posted this in my build thread, and hopeing yall could give me some pointers.

 

smart for wearing proper helmets...

when i hit the rocks with the MonkeyCrawler i always put on a helmet on the sketchy stuff..

 

i think i've seen your truck around Monrovia a lot... I just wanted to say that you have one of the better looking toyotas around

 

thats where i live..but i don't know, my truck is getting a little banged up lately and starting to look ugly

 

Fastest way: Heat up with a torch and bend back straightish.

Best way: Cut off the LCA mount and have a new one made from some 3/16 plate. LCAs are 3 sided so it won't be hard. That hardest part it cutting the oval for the alignment bolts. You can use the stock ones as a template. use a drill press or a mill and all should be fine

 

verry good, thank you!

i'll probably bend it back temporarily and reinforce it, and then when i get back to florida in a few weeks and have access to a milling machine, i'll start making the new mounts.

funny how the best way to find the weak points is to break them

 

Yup.

If you bend it it should be fine. Just make sure the LCA has full movement and to take it off when you heat it up. If not you will melt the bushing. I made the mistake once and melted the edge of a Poly bushing on my truck by welding on one side.
