Long Travel BS Thread

Ok...it's only 11"

 

Sounds like some fuzzy math right there

 

He's just using a CA tape measure, every suspension manufacturer uses one to measure wheel travel numbers. 12" equals 23.5" of Gnar travel!

 

That sure is a shiny wheel well area. Why isn't it dirty?!

 

Haha i was gonna say 'sounds like some kibbetech measuring right there'

 

Wait what? What's he measuring that measures 12"?

 

a foot away?
the axle goes inbetween the coilover and bypass amigo..


I dont know nothing about which rod end to use, but in the picture your using for reference, the CV axle is somewhat close to the bypass.

 

has to be....

 

DONT DRINK THE KOOLAID

 

Oh so that is what 12" look like. I need to let the wife know.

 

Mmmmm purple drank

 

Ah man I miss TacomaWorld sometimes.

 

Had a long crazy week in Vegas and got Murphy's Law'ed all week it seemed but had an awesome time racing Vegas to Reno. Wrote up a little something you can find on Race Dezert or via our TPF Racing Facebook page if you want to check it out but long story short...I rolled the truck down a 15 embankment becuase I'm a dope and I suck. We got it righted and kept going and had a rear end issue around Race Mile 30. Almost timed out at Pit 1 which would have ended our day about 510 miles short of our goal but our kick ass crew and our gutty little truck kept fighting and we ended up getting to the finish in Dayton in just under 21 hours with a second in Class 7100.

A lot of challenges and some highs and lows but am super proud of our guys and thankful for all their help and the amazing truck Khris built that withstood a desert season's worth of abuse in a single 24 hour period. Was great to see the SDHQ crew and am really thankful for the support of General Tire and Camburg not just for their products but for their support of racing in general.

Already tearing down the truck and am psyched to finish out the 3 race "mini series" at the Blue Water Desert Challenge in October.

 

Dang!!
Sucks you rolled the truck, but congrats on second place!
Are you going to keep the cab or swap it?
When is the race in october? I keep my boat and trailer in parker, Maybe ill make it out to the races...

 

Picked up some flat top bedsides from roadrunner glass a few days ago, gonna see if I can mount them when I get the time or have someone do it for me, glass looks pretty good so far, I'll keep you guys updated since no one seems to have reviews on them. I will say that they have been really good with staying in contact. They told me the bedsides would be ready in 5 days (which seems crazy compared to reviews from other companies), I was out of town so I told them I would pick it up 7-8 days later. We planned for me to drive to pick them up last tuesday and sure enough they were ready and I picked them up on tuesday just like planned. No hiccups in the process

 

So are 4 or 5 tube bypasses overkill for sua? I understand leafs can only do so much but figured an extra tube or 2 would be worth the extra tuning

 

Like to see a pic of them installed.

If you can tune it power to you man. It only took me 4 years to figure out tuning my smoothies before understanding where I could use a dual bypass to make me faster.
