Long Travel BS Thread

I agree with Anthony that side looks fine to me. The other pic you posted where it's more noticeable on my old 2nd gen tacomas lower arm bushings kinda looked like that then while doing maintenance I switched to derlin bushings and they didn't do that anymore.

 

Hmm aren't derlins pretty loud though?

 

My question is did the truck get beat much before you installed the kit?

 

Not to me didn't make any extra noise and it felt the same I know chaos sells them but they are like 200ish my buddy while making some for his own kit ended up making me a set

 

Is that towards me?

Meh, I mean it spends a lot of time off road... But I don't see how I could bend the LCA mounts further apart...

Hmm I'm not opposed to that it it will help. I just don't see how I'm going to get the LCA back in with a stiffer bushing

 

delrin self lubricates, Poly doesn't

 

Yea basically, but mostly in general. Just don't understand how people can build a truck and then worry about a little extra noise lol. Every LT truck I've ever seen is noisy as fuck. Squeaks, creaks, clinks, every racist sounds there is, they make lol. Don't take it personal, just a general facepalm at noise complaints on a built truck.

 

It depends on the alignment cam position too, can make the lower sit in there kinda funny

 

and man when poly gets cold and wet it squeeeeeeekkkkkkssssss, snow wheelin aftermath lol

 

Seen it many times. Hell I've seen the entire crossmember bent from "light offroading"

 

Delrin is no louder, and it's not self lubricating. It's just a way denser material

 

UHMW is self lubricating. Used as skid plate liners.

 

UHMW and Delrin are not the same thing. Delrin has a very low drag coefficient but is not self lubricating. This has been gone over countless times.

 

I know. i was just stating that in case that is what he was thinking of.

 

Ahh righto chap

 

agree alittle noise does not bother me at all. Yea it might be alittle harder to get them back in if you put derlin bushings in but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 

Where are you headed with those paddles?

here are my new ones

 

lookin good man! got mine for a smokin deal and hoping to make it out to glamis for thanksgiving. Just trying to figure out my camping plan since I'll most likely be alone this trip.

 

I just got back from glamis, and managed to get buried with the paddles
