Long Travel BS Thread

Anyone know whos truck on dezert Rangers forms that was a green first gen ect cab with a Camburg race kit and 4 linked rear? Had finned bypasses in the front and white fiberglass, an grabbers. Trying to find his build thread

 

Getch?

 

This one ? I have his build bookmaked somewhere cuz I was trying to buy his truck before he upped the price to over 20k lol

 

Yupp! Thanks

 

Before I give up and spray the rear glass with bed liner wanted to know if there is anything to do to stop the jel coat from spider cracking. The glass is reinforced and doesn't bounce or flex but I keep getting spider cracks.
Another reason I was considering bed liner is the paint gets worked by rocks every time I take it out. I sprayed the front of the glass with bed liner and that helped the rock/sand blasting but It still gets hit. Also sprayed the inside after fixing the first few cracks.
Truck is far from a show truck but thought I'd check here first. I'm assuming it won't help if I decide to sell it but spider cracks probably won't either.

 

Most of my spider cracks come from rocks hitting the back side of the fender. I did not put any kind of coating on the backside but some say that it really helps with the spider cracks

I like that truck too but that price is ridiculous.

 

Spider cracks are from rocks hitting the inside. Line-x is a lot thicker than diy Bedliners, get the insides done and a splash guard. I had Mcneil raptor line the insides when they painted it and line-x did the splash guard. their is a huge difference in quality when comparing the two and I shoulda just had line-x do everything

 

I sprayed a BUNCH of that rubberized undercoating on the inside of mine, and they been holdin up good

 

Tacoma number 2 is his build thread title.

 

Just browsing around last night and found these, same size as the bolts that connect the LBJ to spindle on 1st gens. I couldnt find any specifics on chromoly bolts but wonder if these would be a better option than OEM bolts on the spindle adapter

Cam tabs welded in. Had to extend the cam oval outward on all 4 in order to get it to align and welded them shifted over some. Happy with the results.



Do most of the LT guys tires squeel more than stock? Since i put my kit on seems when I turn hard the tires are squeeling easier.

 

Meh, I can live with some squeel long as my tires dont wear crazily. Thx man.

 

Nope, I would check your alignment

 

I've brought this up here before but never got an answer, anyone have any issues not running inner fenders in the rain/mud/snow? I wanna bump off my uppers and go to a 10" c/o

 

Yeah, it will suck with mud/snow/slush unless you build new inner fenders.

 

Do sum aluminum panels like jeeps do

 

Think I can still bump off upper?
