Long Travel BS Thread

Question for you 2nd Gen LT's...

Did any of you notice more play in the steering wheel once you installed your kit?!

Mine is almost an 1" each way, used to be super tight & responsive, now it's kinda sloppy.

 

are your heims tight? Like the ball in the center should be pretty hard to move with you fingers

 

They were when I put them on the truck (2 weeks ago).

 

cause I own a frontier.

steering rack could be shot.

 

GTFO...

or tits

hah jk, your dd or something?

 

not anymore, its a toy now.

I'll show my tits, im not afraid, but they are rock hard.

 

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, trying to think how bad it used to be pre-LT.

Do you think it would be shot at 25,00miles?!

 

lady friend tits only

 

WTF? issues with the BLM?

 

i'm not affraid either...but mine are kinda hairy

 

It just says 400 mile race, and its scheduled around the same time, so im going to assume thats its still a race its just not called the Mint 400 anymore? im just guessing

 

Sounds like rack, thats wut my old truck did when it needed one. I'm gonna need one soon.

 

When the tires are straight is where the play is (well the most obvious play) In turns it feels like I'm turning the wheel way more than I should have to, I don't know might just be me on that one.

 

Yes, but not that bad. You have All Pro tie rods as well, right? Check the tightness of the bolt/nut on the end of the tie rod at the spindle end. It's an angled bolt with a misalignment cam, the bolt should be angled forward.

Try bleeding your power steering system as well. Lift the front wheels off the ground and turn from lock to lock several times with the motor turned off. Make sure your power steering fluid is at the correct level before starting this.

 

Also check for wear in the heim joints. They dont last for shit. Mine are shot after only 9 months on the truck.

 

snore kinda screwed up the last mint 400 and everybodys paying for it.

plus the rights to the mint 400 name was sold to mad media and i believe hdra is going to try to ressurect the mint for 2012 . at least thats what the internet BS suggests.

 

okay so how do i set up a fuel cell? i dont know crap about it.

i need an external fuel pump correct? what else?

 

not correct. im using my stock toyota fuel pick-up and pump in my 32 gallon cell.

all just in how you plumb it. i like the idea of keeping my stock gauges and as many stock components as i can... that way when it breaks, i know exactly where to get one and it isnt gunna cost me 300 bucks for just some external pump.

 

oh so i just take my stock fuel pump out of my stock tank and put it in my fuel cell?

whats a pick-up? for the gauge?

 

sortta... pm me and i can explain better as im sure no one in here gives a rats ass. if people are interested in how i am plumbing my cell let me know and i can do a mini write up in the general fab topic we have going.
