Long Travel BS Thread

i would solid mount the lowers in a nuetral position so you have adjustment either way while having good camber...but i have no clue what im talking about

honestly i would just run stock cams with tc gussets

 

Narrow in the front, wide in the rear of the UCA. This gives you the most firewall clearance for tires at full stuff, and gives you the most castor possible. Rake it out like a dirtbike, and it will handle the whoops like one.

 

if no one local wants it sure haha..it either has a bad wheel bearing...maybe 2...or a bad pinion bearing

 

Is it spooled or open diffs? I'm semi-local in ventura/camarillo area.

 

It's a open diff...don't know what the deal is with the strange noise but it's probably a easy fix for a mechanicaly inclined person.

 

Its always locked unless no torque is applied.

as in if you are using the skinny pedal, your locked.

 

Mounted mine neutral so I can adjust it easier with the uca

 

Spooled is like welding the spiders together so the axles cannot turn at different speeds what so ever. Lunchbox lockers can rachet around corners letting you turn without chirping the tires like a spool will.

My understanding with lunch box lockers is that they will let the axles spin independently, but they never let one of them spin slower than the pinion.

While selectable lockers and spools lock both tires together so they always spin at the same speed.

FWIW, I would only spool a drag race car or a trailer queen rock crawler.

 

$850 Eaton Detroit Locker Toyota 8.4" Automatic Locker - 187SL199A

Assuming it's this one, No. But I know that Detroit makes some mini-spools, I just don't know if they do for the Tacoma.

 

A detroit works as I said earlier. It's locked when you have the skinny pedal down.

Also Brady, i do not think that's how lunchbox locker work. They don't let either wheel slip if there is torque.

 

Oki, waiting on Bypasses still, but WOW, DSMS shipped my shocks QUICK. Showed up in about a week from when they processed my payment .

So I'm sitting on-

Camburg LT
TC Coil bucket gusset
TC Cam Tab Gussets
Camburg Secondary LT shock mounts
King 8" Coilovers with R/R
King 8" Bypasses (Should be in the mail..if the coilovers just showed)



Going to be ordering soon;
LT Axles
Spindle Gussets (haven't decided which ones...The Built Right ones look pretty beefy, unless someone know a good fabbed 4x4 spindle that's not gonna break the bank, around a grand is fine lol)

Will definitely be getting a crossmember over the engine connecting the bypass mounts.

Rear is still up in the air, 99% leaning towards DMZ, but a small part of me says to link it. meh.

Am I missing anything up front?

 

looks good to me

 

welded spiders

 

LT Axles? You have a prerunner right?

 

ok now im confused....


4x4 swap?

 

Not for long

 

Got out of LT and picked up a high end MT FJ

 

I'll take it off your hands. I'm just going to weld it for a spooled. I just have stock 4.10s pushing 35s and the trans doesn't fully enjoy it.
