Long Travel BS Thread

could be th bumper moving too. the 3 i have on my bumper (one is the one i bought from you) vibrate, but the ones on my roof don't budge.

 

is it possible to make a new mount like the hellas? since they have double bolts and those dont budge!

btw how do you like it?

 

The driver was KO-ed. I saw that somewhere else and it had the full story attached to it. Blacked out after it rolled and the driver slammed the gas down.

 

What do your tabs look like? I had the same problem on my hellas, Then a shop told me to use a bigger tab like the hella 4000 tabs.

The vibrations went away.

 

lemme go take a pic of one, stand by...

 

Question:
Are any of you 2wd second gen guys, either LT or mid travel running a slip joint in the rear piece of the driveshaft? My center support bearing is pretty much toast. I took it to a shop today and he said that the rear end is trying to pull the first piece of the shaft. Said the slip joint would help. If you have had this done how much did it cost. I have the new carrier bearing. He quoted me $350 to swap the bearings and add the slip. I don't think that had u joints included. Should I get all 3 new anyway? If yes, then greasable splicers?

I'm hoping this will fix the issue. This is also what I would need to do anyway for a rear spring under setup right?

 

I have almost 70k miles. And a midtravel setup with spindles. Thanks.

 

You pretty much have to run a slip joint if you're going to run a rear LT Setup as the driveshaft needs someway of shortening up with all the uptravel.

As for the carrier bearing I'd check this out:

 

wish i could tell you. welded on my center tab, mounted it, and wired it up. unfortunately i didn't have any time to aim it before heading out for wheeling last weekend, so when i got there it was aimed straight down seemed bright though lol. just got around to reaiming it a couple hours ago so we'll see next time


looks good at least.

 

looks good haha thats alot of light!

 

garantees you always get the leader spot on the night runs

 

hey pho, heres a pic from the side

 

My old tabs looked like those, once I put the other tabs on the vibrations went away. What kind of lights are you running?

It was Mckenzies who told me to use a tab with some vertical supports.

 

like nelson said, cheap ass china HIDs

 

Yea I had read that. So as long as I get that slip added I can mount that bearing on? I'll have the driveline shop do it so I don't want to take it to them and tell me it won't work.

 

I think its a combination of the lights being plastic and those takes are just flat. My tabs are formed to the bar so its reinforced.

 

I would try the Tabs, I was reading somewhere about people saying those lights have some vibrations to them because of the design for vertical adjustments.

Tabs Im running.

 

yeah i figured the plastic mounts played a role in this

 

ill do that, thanks man

 

I made my own, they work just fine!
