The Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Area Tacos Thread Thing

well.........my 80 wont have much left of that era lol, the motor and trans that are going in are out of a 1st gen tacoma lol

 

Boooooooooooo

 

hey man lol, EFI, 150HP over this 20Rs 90HP haha, AND if I want to in the future, I can turbo that bad boy

 

I got a turbo

 

12" and 14" means inches. That's what the little symbol is after the number. That's how fox's website reads them. Not factory travel or ext. travel.

 

Yeah I got that, what I meant was none of the coilovers for our trucks are 12 or 14 inch travel. The coilovers built specifically for long travel kits are 8" travel. The standard and extended travel are less than that. I think in the 6-7" range. That picture you linked looks like it is of a dual rate coilover that takes 2 springs. That would be for custom application.

 

Knew I'd seen the numbers somewhere, just found this in another thread.
I think these are for the extended travel coilovers.

King: 21.687 ext and 16.75 com. 4.937" of travel.
Fox: 22.48 ext and 17.59 com. 4.89" of travel.
Icon:22.574 ext and 17.42 com. 5.154" of travel
ADS: 22.250 ext and 17.75 com. 4.5" of travel

 

So I'm part of the Pensacola Cars and Coffee FB page and these guys posted up. They try and make one run a month over to Eglin and said we're more than welcome to come next time they head out. Anyone interested? I'm still waiting to hear on a date. It'd be in about a month or so.

 

I know where that tower is at!!!!! Down in timber lake rec area, right at that first intersection, all the way down until you hit the red sign, make a right then that dirt road pops you out into some sand and that tower is not too far on the left when you make the right out of the sand.

But totally! I should have the 80 up and running by then. I just need to put the transmission back together and get the rear driveshaft shortened and I "should" be good to go lol

 

Hell yeah! Well, you've got a month to get it all set up

 

if not, I can always bring the tacoma lol


this was back in october of last year, but yeah....there's that tower haha

Just keep us posted on a date. Once you get that I am game!

 

Sounds good guys! He said it'll be next month, so that'll give us time to plan (and me time to install my CB)

 

We talkin as in JUNE or May? (I know we just hit May that's why I ask)

 

I'm assuming May, but I can't say for sure. He just said "next month". If we don't want to wait that long, I'm down to go sometime this month with just us TW guys.

 

Hell, if May itll be hard. I have 2 mud runs this month. 14/21, then massive motorcycle ride on 28th in ATL.

 

We'll just stick to next month then. I want to get as many of you guys out there as possible since nothing has happened locally that I know of (since I've been here)

 

looks like i have to buy a damn impact gun......my 27" breaker bar I bought from harbor freight and the vice I bought cant get the stupid nut off on the counter shaft on the trans. It just chipping the gears on the counter shaft instead....really pissin me off lol. sucks, I gotta get ready for work here too lol

 

Damn. You going air or electric?
