Long Travel BS Thread

Last I spoke with Anthony they were compression testing it, cylinder 2 - 4 were low, found leak in intake and possible throttle body but that's last I hear waiting for an update text.... Tomorrow I guess lol.

I understand the moisture is a by product of combustion, it was very humid an had rained and all..... But fuck man Anthony saw it first an stopped me then showed me and my jaw dropped and felt like a kick in the dick. Lol


Hope for best and plan for worst I guess.

 

Ive had a U joint go bad before no a previous truck and felt pretty similar, thats probably what it is.

 

Fun go fast things!

LCE dual comp clutch and 30lb billet steel flywheel.



Its amazing the amount of performance parts LCE offers for Toyotas. They even sell built/turboed ready to go 4 cylinders with 1000hp.

 

Curious, does replacing the full clutch assembly make shifting any faster? Or just a stronger clutch? Im still on the fence about manual or automatic and my hang up is everyone saying the manual in second gens are clunky and obviously not a sport car.

 

The heavier flywheel gives you more torque from takeoff and on shifts due to the heavier rotational mass. Especially useful with larger tires in the 33 to 35 range for us. The clutch will grip much better and hold safely and consistenly when more power is added. With a stock engine, not so much to worry about. My clutch would have been fine for much longer but I started power shifting while in boost and now it slips when I get into high psi's. It's still holding cause I can peel the tires in 2nd gear sometimes, especially if going up a hill. Not sure how it will shift but I'm going to find out.

 

Interesting, im throwing on

TRD SC
URD 2.85 Stealth pulley
URD Y Pipe
URD Mark 3 3" exhaust
DTST headers
AFE CAI

So im thinking a manual will be alot of fun with all of that AND LT next year...

 

Get a manual

 

Deal.

 

For anyone wondering about running a junkyard 9" housing I just talked to currie and there axle kit comes with the tone rings and everything you need to make the speedo work and uses fj disk brakes

 

This is what both the Trac built trucks are running and is the only way around it for a 2wd truck. If you're 4wd you can run any 9" you want and relocate the speedo to your T-case which opens up your brake options

 

Does sdhq sell u bolts and spring plates that can fit a 3.5" tube?

 

Yea, Just checked. I have Camburg 3.5" Perches, Synergy plates for 3.25-4" OD Tube. U bolts I would recommend finding a shop locally that can make them to fit. We use a trailer supply shop for all our custom projects.

 

I've never seen a linked truck need u bolts before......ahem......

 

Good to know, so it's a matter of drilling and tapping the tcase? What exactly do I have to do?

 

There's a plug that you pull and replace with and OEM sensor from the FJ tcase and rewire it all.

 

RST sells a kit

 

Excellent. I'll probably be calling you soon.

Dude right? I think I'm gonna end up keeping leaves for a little bit then redoing the front before I change the rear suspension. But I change my mind way too much.

 

They also want 4k minimum for an axle unless I'm missing something........

 

sounds about right, cost to floss

 

$700
