Long Travel BS Thread

I should probably just call King and / or Solo and see what's up - I scored a good deal on them so I just have to get rid of the 45* that's on them now, but they have a solution somehow since they look to be that way on Solo's website pics.

 

This is what I have....would likely work for you

 

what kind of paint did you used on your uca

 

Not my picture unfortunately


Not cool enough for lt this time

 

thats powdercoated

 

ya i know that haha

 

FIFY

I might be able to make something like that work - I guess it will come down to how the uca cycles - they have it pointing straight up around 1 o'clock and between that and a long hose there could be an easy way to make it work.

 

Rustoleum Hammertones looks a lot like clear coated powdercoat from a distance- I painted my valve covers and transmission with that stuff. Durable paint!

 

That's mine, I was just looking for the same pic to post It is "silver vein " powdercoat

edit - it is silver vein powder coat with clear powder too

 

I had a feeling that was yours lol! Idk anyone else with that powdercoat.

 

where did you find that photo ? It looks like someone took it while I was parked somewhere ?

The fittings and hoses all from Crown Performance BTW, I have the adjustable resi's so I had to use a 90 at the resi. Jeff and I had to cut up my King resi mounts and mod them to fit around the Solo double shear gussets. I've had a few people question that bit too...

haha...looks like I am my own stalker lol. I know I've posted a shot like that a few times whenever someone mentions the older King hose rub problem, I rubbed through my hoses down to the inner braid after my very first trip and stole that fitting set up idea from FOX...went to Crown and they set me up with those new hose and fittings while I waited.

 

Pretty much exactly how my oe Kings are

My buddy ordered 2.5x8 kings and it came with this same fitting setup vvv

 

about time they changed that, everyone rubbed through the hoses on the old set up

 

Needed a horn so I bought a siren. Gangsta rap made me do it. Welds aren't great but I've gotta learn somehow. Better than when I first got this little 110.

 

I need a horn again. I cut mine off with the race wheel. Want to get something loud and use a momentary button off the dash.

 

Train horn

 

How do you guys with fuel cells deal with fuel monitoring? the right way I mean?

I want to actually understand the setup other than just acknowledging it works

Stock tank is 21gal 18gal usable
So if I go to a 32 gal it's obviously a completely different setup

I want to know how you are still able to safely monitor your fuel level and know when to fill up or what level your tank is at

Cause #sciencebitch

 

I have a digital fuel sender from centroid in my 32 gallon fuel cell. It hooks right up to my stock gauge and is accurate. Make sure you measure the depth of your tank and have your fuel sender not be cut too short. If you talk with centroid they will make you a sender that fits the ohms of your stock gauge (110 ohms empty and 3 ohms full i think).

Ive seen some people utilize their stock set up on a fuel cell and they have been really happy with it (especially when it comes time to pass emissions). It all depends on what you're looking to do!
