Long Travel BS Thread

damn i didnt think of that. i dont have lower uniballs though they are ball joint and fairly new.

 

I had a stripped cam bolt making that sound. Is it strong enough to make a jolt on the control arm on one side or the other? I'd usually get it at a similar place in the steering wheel sweep going each direction when making figure 8's.

 

no it doesnt affect how it steers in my opinion you just hear cracking sounds

 

When it happened I could hear and feel it in the steering. I narrowed it down to the passenger LCA with video of that area where the sound was coming from while doing some figure 8's. After awhile I couldn't really feel the pop - just hear it. I think the threads were getting flatter and didn't give as much resistance. Can you pinpoint where the sound is coming from with a go pro or a cheap knock off?

Trying to figure out the rear link on this truck. I don't see a pan hard bar. You think the upper link is holding the axle in place?

 

Thanks should of did a screenshot instead.

 

look a bit closer, its a triangulated 3 link. it just looks weird because it curves around the stock tank

 

So, thoughts on potential wrap colors?

I am leaning towards 1, 2, 5, and 7

 

You think it crosses over the driveshaft to the other side of the frame? I was always curious if someone tried doing the top link like that. It almost like a J arm. Not that this kit is pulling out 20” plus travel.

 

What is the size of the lower uniball used in kings?

I learned that it pays to shop for uniballs while I was rebuilding TC uppers and lowers Total chaos was around 400$ for four 1'' uniballs and I found 4 PTFE lined 1'' uniballs for under 140 here : http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/R1888.html and they have been great.

 

Look up BMW or Audi "Nardo grey"... Painted a BMW motorcycle that color and it was awesome in all different light, think it would look great on a taco.

 

yeah I like that color and it's like right between my 1 and 7 options

 

Its a sweet color, looks pretty light in direct sunlight but in most situations its a bit darker than alot of the pics... heres a pic I just dug up of the bike.

 

Not to the other side of the frame but likely closer to the driver side than center. As for travel, no idea. I would guess about 20

 

i can try im pretty sure it the rack though

 

Does it make the sound when the front is in the air?

 

looks similar to a wishbone 3 link just a modified top link.

 

I'd wager a guess they built a new crossmember that has one mount on the frame and the other is close to the driveline/center of the truck. Probably a tight fit.

You get what you pay for. Those won't last nearly as long. You got all dressed up in a tuxedo to go eat off the dollar menu at McDonald's.

 

About a month ago I finally installed my Switch Pros 8100 I bought through Camburg back in May of 2016. It was wired correctly, but I couldn't program the switches via the switch panel, or get the app to sync to the device. After several emails back and forth with Switch Pros customer service I got a phone call from them. They offered a full replacement and upgrade to the 9100 unit since there was no other trouble shooting I would be able to do myself. Pretty stand up group of people at this company. Got the new device and installed it several days later. Now it works like it should and I have more respect for a company still offering a 100% made in USA product.
