Long Travel BS Thread

Exactly where mine has split twice now, right at the seam for the tank and fins.

 

lol when I was 18 I had nooo idea.
I now work for a motorcycle OEM doing techline, dealing with some warranty claims when it’s slower.
I always try and work with our dealers so they get paid proper with flat rate and our other labor code that can be inputted for diag time or testing etc.

 

Oh yeah, you will get dye dripping from evaporator drain. Some cars make it 400,000 miles and others leak at 50k

 

Lexus' are the worst because they usually have a million modules and sensors. Probably 100 miles of wiring behind those dashes on a fully loaded model

 

You think that Toyota A/C cleaner foam does any real work? I thought about doing that on the 4Runner as there’s no filter and it’s oooold. But also most things in a can seem like snake oil

 

Meh, it's mildew that makes the smell. My wife's equinox had a reprogram done to let blower motor run with key off to dry the evaporator core. She had evaporator core replaced under warranty because the car would smell like stinky socks.

Toyotas are good about drain placement but I've def seen standing water in the cases. Hell my tacoma will drip on your feet when it's hot outside

 

noted, ty

 

New All-Pro LT system looks nice in the limited pics/videos I've seen. 15" of travel. Modular design where you cut off some/most of your factory suspension, weld in their bulkhead (which looks like contains mounts for the LCA's, UCA's, and new coil/bypass mounts). LC200 rack. Rack and diff pushed to make more room. Front tires can go up to 2" forward. No comments on width or pricing.

 

They said it’s 3.5 over

 

lol Marlin crawler:

 

Yep, I think it’s neat too.

 

Stupid question time. For cycling suspension, drain shocks of nitrogen?

 

Definitely makes it easier

 

where did you find pics/videos?

 

Its on their IG page

 

oooh, ya, Marlin Crawler.....

 

Maybe it’s me. But that kit seems pretty meh. I like the modular idea. But to go through all of that trouble just to still have them low hanging diff mounts and what appears to me as a substantial amount of bump steer in a couple of IG videos. Then only yield 15” after cutting the front of your truck off? And is that “cycling” 15 or actual usable?

 

15” of travel might be a bit of a stretch. If I recall from the thread thoroughly testing the Marlin kit, it was more like 10”.

 

To be fair if they moved things around it could likely yield more simply because of vertical uniballs. However, if that stuff isn’t properly placed you just end up with a pile of garbage that you really can’t reverse. One of the videos, the front wheels dropped out and the thing toed in like 3”. Unless I’m seeing shit. But the tie rods do not look proper and look as if they were placed to avoid outer heim bind.

I won’t knock it too much I guess. But after tackling a massive project myself involving much of this geometry, it smells awful fishy.
