@BustedKnuckleOffRoad so I am trying to add a pair to my rear 07 Toyota 4runner. I lowered it to the point that only 2 fingers side to side can fit but I have a issue when articulation kicks in. The springs become loose which could slip and which you know what.... I want to ass a pair (without any welding ) to prevent the full extent of the strut. I wanted to know if I could curve the end ears on the strap and mount it on the top end where the strut and the other end on the lower strut bolt up area?
I have a lot of spares but i also do recovery work in my area. I have a completely custom built xj it's nice i really like it i spent a lot of time making it the way it is i stripped it to a bare body on stands then stripped all the factory seam sealer out and stitch welded the chassis then i installed frame stiffeners along with a lot more stiffening plating in all sorts of areas i did a lot more than a full set of stiffeners then i went back with 3m 2 part seam sealer throughout and i did dynamat all over then closed cell foam under the carpet removing the stock style jute cotton insulation so it doesn't hold water and my carpet kit has thicker rubber backing i like my nice comfy interior. I have s lot of stuff in the car though but i took a long time to package it nicely. That along with the cage and crossmembers and all the extras makes it ride totally different it's cool. But then i have a lot of special things i have to carry spares for like my fuel system and brakes and steering hydro boost and assist oil coolers and even some of my coolant system all uses AN lines and fittings so i have spares there and i carry special tools for my rig plus what i may find on others. Im running an atlas 4 speed and dana 60 crate axles from ECGS so things are pretty beefy but spare u joints are always good. I think one of the most important things to think about is what could completely take a rig out of commission within reason. Like oil line fittings or sensors or if your using a special fluid thats hard to find somewhere or service parts for something custom like a fuel pressure regulator or spare fuses especially oddball stuff. Any real special item or item that could take the vehicle out. I have enough tools to pretty much do any job its a little ridiculous and heavy. But i also have multiple kits or bags i have the bag that always stays in the car with stuff for me and simple tools then i have a comprehensive tool kit for me and others and it usually stays in. Then i have a bag with more spares for me that go in on far away trips then i have a few recovery kits From your normal used all the time stuff to another kit with more snatch block rings and some shackles and miscellaneous special items then a bag of extensions a lot of extensions. I pulled someone out of a swamp one time and learned you can never have too many extensions. I like to be prepared. One kit im real proud of is my dirt bike trail riding kit in my backpack i started weighing things in grams for that one. I get really thirsty i drink a lot of water so i have a huge water bladder it's big and i learned that if the whole pack was under i think it was 16 or 17 pounds it didn't bother me at all and it got lighter as i drink water. But i have an extensive tool kit there i got some titanium tools and lightweight survival items i even have a silky saw and lightweight hatchet its a floating hollow hatchet from the 50s it's really cool. I also have weight space to carry 2 msr bottles of spare fuel. I have a ton of stuff in that kit. I ride alone and go really far out so its good to be prepared but i also didn't want to be hindered by weight on my back i was surprised to learn and feel the difference a pound or two makes it made a huge difference for me. I wanted a full tool kit so i pretty much researched every single item for the lightest possible i got a lot of titanium and some aluminum things.
How bout the BKOR TIRE VULCANIZING KIT!! Just ordered one for my buggy to take to trail hero next week because my swampers are getting a little old! 😂😂
The most important thing to bring out on the trails. A friend(or friends)! Either just to hang out with or to tow you out/ give you a ride back to camp.
Colby valves, glue treads, inner tube for tire repairs takes up surprisingly little space. I use fuel line for all my breathers and double ended hose barbs to fix every size of hose on the rig. Tie wire duct tape, engine oil, water for radiator and drinking. Ham radio for communications with repeaters programmed.
I’ve got a 72 Bronco with Duff 5.5” lift, extended radius arms. 35” tires, front disc, rear drums. Im being told that I can’t use hydro boost with rear drums. Is this true?
Another option for joining cast iron with other material is brazing too. Less heat affected zone with the same or better tensile strength. They even have filler rods to TIG with. It's called Silicon Bronze or Aluminum Bronze. Works great on cast. That joint looks hella beefy, nice work!
I just went to the linked store page. Did I miss the $850 system? There only seems to be $899, $949. Also can these be mounted to the fire wall. it looks like there are only bolt holes on top and small slots on front.
