    Bilstein 9100 bumpstop rebuild/destroke help

    Yeah it seems like a simple job once they're apart however, unlike the Kings, these look like they need a special fixture to hold or drive the ring back. I was told this is a pretty common bilstein feature and someone with a set of shock rebuild tools could do it. I spoke with bilstein...

    Bilstein 9100 bumpstop rebuild/destroke help

    I'm looking for some help with a pair of 3" stroke 9100 bilstein bumps. I've heard these can be destroked to as little as 1.5" which is what I would prefer to allow for more free travel. I'm curious if someone in the SLC area has experience with this and can recharge them with oil/gas once complete.

    I also discovered that my radiator had developed a pinhole leak in one of the end tanks from insufficient padding and bouncing around

    South-East Utah Dollhouse/Powell/Moab trip, 11-5 - 11-8

    No, it uses rack and pinion steering. From what I can tell the break occurred during uptravel with preload on the rod from an improper toe adjustment. The rod was bottomed out so hard in the outer TRE that several threads came out with the inner TRE when I removed it.

    Yes, and the worst part was discovering the replacement parts are proprietary, cannot be purchased in the US, are made to order, and require 4-6 weeks to manufacture/deliver.

    There's no way I'm getting on the road tonight at a reasonable hour. Would everyone been amenable to meeting at what appears to be the only grocery store in Green River, Melon Vine Food Store, at 10:00am tomorrow?

    With weight in mind, this looks like a great, flexible alternative as well: http://norcalrovers.org/forum/index.php?/topic/2823-my-lr3-lightweight-storage-platform-build/

    I may forego spending the night in Green River tomorrow night depending on how late work keeps me. I have no great desire to travel highway 6, the most dangerous road in the state, past 10pm! I will most likely depart North Salt Lake early Saturday morning and meet you all in GR. I would be...

    are you using straight plywood or MDF? As always, I'd like to keep it as light as possible.
