Long Travel BS Thread

can anyone help me out with my front bumpstops? For those of you who aren't running hydraulic bumps, what are you doing up front for bumpstops? Just a spacer and the factory bumps? New bumps?

gotta get some ordered asap, thanks in advance guys

 

exactly why we didnt plate mine

 

wheelers super bumps.

post pics of the post spindle install...

 

put in a few plates that are easy to get to with a plasma, give you some strength and easy to cut out if needed

 

Ok DSM is closed till jan 5th, where/who do u guys order up shims or valve stacks for kings??? Sure there's plenty of places....I just need them sooner them later cuz hitting the superstition meet jan 17th-19th....

What do most of you do to keep bump cans from warping when burning them in ?

 

You can fit a 2" tube inside of it

 

I was going to use a piece of 2" tube but I heard it can be a pain in the ass if the tube gets stuck. I just welded mine without anything in them and they didn't warp at all, tack all 4 corners good first and you should be fine

 

Even though I'm ignored most of the time in this thread I figure I'd share. If some of you guys haven't seen one of these before they are pretty cool. Its called a Trasharoo. It holds a standard shop trash bag and mounts to your tire or in this case my dual spares. Cool product and nice so when you are out and pick up trash you don't have to have it in the cab if you don't have a bed. You can pick them up from Sierra Expeditions. It also works well as a gear bag too.

Pretty cool

 

Finally got an alignment after installing TC heimed uppers I got from Santa. It drives like a new truck! ( caster raked out on purpose) Amaes trasharoos are pretty cool, I need to get a couple of them.

 

They come in a few colors and normally Don't have that FJ Summit Logo on them. Mine has that from when I was up in Telluride for the FJ Summit with my Dad.

 

I saw that. Have you had any issues with yours fading in the sun? I dig the green ones...

 

Not too bad. I have heard that the straps get brittle after AZ sun plus rain hits them every day for a year or two. I take mine off because When i visit friends college kids are dicks and fuck with everything. It's easy to get on and off.

 

Hey username, any thoughts on double shear gussets for the UCA bolt? Or do you have enough elsewhere to make it not really necessary? I thought you'd have them for how far you push your truck.
