Long Travel BS Thread

I use PVC to find all my notches. Takes me longer but once I have the notcher set up I just transfer it over to the tube.

 

hindsight is always 20/20. I should have, or really just completely back-halfed the whole thing behind the cab. But at the time we were building it this was still going to be my daily driver and frame modification like a C-notch would, in the case of being rear ended result in an immediate total and change in the title to salvaged due to "frame damage" according to the adjuster. I spoke with quite a few people about it, the decision was made to keep it intact, stupid really, but it works fine without. I might have gained a couple inches of up travel but my truck sits pretty tall anyway to try and get some front ground clearance so I'm pretty much right at the 50/50 split between up and down travel right now.

 

Anyone have the corbeau Baja rs seats?

 

I did. So if anyone can use them I can get them a killer deal!

 

I do. They are very wide. Wasnt able to keep the center console. They are comfortable but I am a bigger guy. I like them better than the mastercraft Baja RS. The mastercraft are shorter.

 

Any of you guys running a gate shifter? I was told that even with the Tacoma specific A340 shifter, the TH400 is still the model to get.

 

Is it possible to convert a TC long travel LCA into a uni-ball as opposed to a ball joint? Pics of it being done?

 

@anthony250f posted a while back. its alot of work to do. im planning on doing the solo spindle and their conversion

 

Not that simple.

You need to convert the spindle mounting too.

 

yea i want to do it. someones was talking to me about ball joints failing and it made me scared. i drive 80mph on the freeway all the time

 

Ball joints last longer then a uniball will.

Just change them every 80-90k with OEM ball joints and you'll be fine.

I've blow two but was my own fault.

 

what happens when they go out? doesnt your LCA fall down off the spindle

 

x2... ive blown mine out also after i installed my LT around 90k miles i should have done them since i was doing everything else but i got moog ones and havent had a problem since

 

damn im lucky then cause i got my LT used and never replaced them im gonna buy some hahah

 

doesnt hurt to have an extra set also

 

$45 for one does that sound about right?

 

Uniballs don't fail catastrophically. You can still drive away.

 

my driver ball joint failed when i was coming back home from Colorado. completely fucked my alignment and made my tires bad cause i had positive toe in.

 

Exactly wh I want the ball joint gone

 

A lot..

How so?
