Long Travel BS Thread

same issue solid axles have to worry about.

good loard!
is it broken? looks like they're pushing it.


also, do you have any imput on the bent lower control arm mount issue. i feel like you've probably bent quite a few of those

 

I really don't think its a big deal just grab a sledge hammer and a piece of pipe. Put one end on the tab and beat the crap out of the other. Then go to an alinement shop and get it straitened out. I doubt you bent the arm its self

 

oh yeah, i'm sure the arm isn't bent, and bending the mount back should be no problem. i'm just thinking about how best to reinforce it afterwards.

nice. i would normally use this as an oppertunity to get the kit from total chaos, but i have another wheeling trip this weekend, and would rather have it fixed before then. i don't have any 3/16, but i have a ton of 1/8. i figure that will be enough since my truck hits the rocks a little slower than yours

i'm also thinking about something along these lines for a little extra. beneficial, or is a gusset a waste of time in that location?


i would love to make a removable skid/cover for the alignment bolts themselves, but i haven't figured out a design for that yet.

 

i've got the wide enough bumper. i'm actually going to be taking it off and reinforcing the entire thing shortly, but you're right about the skids. it's a ton cheaper for me to adapt and strengthen the current skid than get a bud, but once this one is toast i'll be getting the rest of the buds. got a bud built gas tank skid coming my way next week, but that doesn't help the current situation

 

WTF?!?! lol...

 

you get shorter length shocks? or relocate the 12's?

 

i thought the shocks you were selling are the 14's..?

so you're going to keep using the 12's? were you able to fit them outside the frame rails?

 

got it. did you change the shackle mount location too?

that was looking pretty verticle at ride height

 

Fuel cells fucking BLOW!!!! Spent 3 hours fighting with the one for the bug. What a pain in the ass

 

THats a fuel tank. lol

This is what we use brand and style just the wrong shape

Its a pain because there is a clamp in there that holds the top plate to the bladder and its two parts and you have to hold it just right to get the two parts to bolt together. Oh and we still had a shit ton of race gas in the thing lol I finally got the smell out of my nose

 

Stand still. No funds.

 

i hurd dat!

 

Yup, Thats what we said when we were leaving. My hand is small enough were I can get it through the fill hole on the cell so we will do the method next time instead of un-bolting the nut ring

 

lol i googles whopper hands to give you shit. then i scrolled down and went to the next page. dildos started showing up?! haha

 

Not sure if anyone on here could use this...but...anyways found this...seemed like a decent deal.
