Long Travel BS Thread

what did you think of the paddles?

 

Did you call Tim about it?

 

I did not. I am by NO means bashing any work, especially since I do not have good welding experience. I have no idea when this work was done to the truck (I called DMZ before I bought it and emailed them pics and they don't remember doing any work on the truck even though it has their logo on it since it was done so long ago) and it has been properly used in Pismo and Baja. Shit breaks. I cannot blame the fabrication for this...unless you guys want to fix it for free? hahaha

 

Yep, that is right where I passed by and saw you taking photos

 

I am by now means talking for Tim but I would give him a call and let him know what has happened.

 

i have a 1st gen coming in in a couple days and i could make you something similar if interested.

 

they worked good just need to make my bedsides easier/faster to remove since they won't clear I never got stuck with them either

 

DONT BACK UP !!! thats the catch lol. you back up 6" and youre fucked. ill be looking for a set this summer for my truck once i get the power situation figured out.

 

just picked up a set of 35" 6 Scoops for my truck off our most recent restock

 

ill have to do some figuring out after i get the power plant figured out what size ill be able to run. id like to run a 35" paddle, but thats a big fuckin tire lol. i should have some 37's soon to mock up since thats what i want to move up to. i have a buddy with a healthy small block that id like to finish building and toss in the tacoma. shooting for 400 to the wheels. i just want to do wheelies.

 

I'm a little concerned about the 4.0 pushing these things around but we'll see. Dropping in a couple oil coolers to keep the trans temp down since that was my biggest concern last time out in the sand and swapping from the E Rated 35" Toyos to a D Rated 37" Toyo after the Parker Pre-Run. I already know the trucks going to be slow haha

 

Gave him a buzz and sent photos. Cool guy.

 

clips goin on



and just wrapped up making these guys over the weekend

 

Does anyone have a e brake with a t100 axle?

 

i do. does it work? no lol

 

I don't see how it could...the t100 has the cable above the housing..unlike the tundra which has the cable along the back....being a manual I miss my e brake lol

 

You just leave it in gear when you park?

 

My stock housing has the cable up above...i don't see the problem..

 

The problem would be at full bump since its sua the cable will hit the frame

I leave it in reverse always

 

Should be easy to make work I'd think.
