Long Travel BS Thread

@MadTaco461 @Anthony250 what size circuit breaker did you use for the battery relocation ?

 

150 amp

 

I use em for my stuff and I beat the shit out of em! Last about a year

 

I have 200A for 1/0

 

Does it matter if I use 150 or 200? Battery is still under the hood but on the passenger side

 

I took mine to where if the wire hits the frame my battery won't blow up.

 

something like that

 

I had a nice little Saturday.....



Solo 2nd Gen Taco 4wd XLT Kit



2.5" Fox coilovers and 3.0" Triple bypasses....


Now I just need someone to buy my Tundra so I can get my links:




Price is lowered to $20k.... Happy to provide a finders fee if you bring me a buyer

 

saw that tundra on CL if i didnt have my truck id buy that in a heart beat

 

that solo kit and suspension is exactly what I want to do. PM inbound

 

Not a bad way to spend 10k

 

Yes. I was able to make a conversion for the stock steering arm/lbj mount that runs a 3/4 bolt through the uniball.

And no, there's no reason to keep that zerk in there. 2, 3/16ths weld washers. 1 welded to the bottom and one welded to the inside of the steering arm keeps the bolt centered and square.

 

What do you do to the Lower Control arm? got any pics of that?

 

I don't think I have any pictures of it, but I just cut off the lower ball joint mount, welded in the new uniball cup and then plated it to the lower control arm.

 

Bring me your truck and I'll do the same for you. I make you very good deal buddy buddy.

 

damn that sounds bad ass! i literally just replaced my lower ball joints but i want to do that in the near future. a kid with a LT single cab was talking to me about it i think he has your old truck with a 4.5+ over not sure though

 

You guys know a typical quote for rear long travel setup? 2nd gen dclb with DMZ sua and fox bumps and triples. I can obviously look up the DMZ kit and all the shocks, but I really need a quote on rear frame plating and a low profile bed cage to be done plus install of everything (obviously). Trying to gauge how much to save up

 

10-15k? Just depends on where you go and the time and materials they invest

 

Well, the last few that I built were in the 5-6k range. Then again I don't have a big shop with lots of overhead and lots of employees to pay. I figure you can add 50% to that which would get you close to most reputable shops. The question is, being in North Carolina are you able to find a shop that's familiar with the type of work that you're looking for? I'm sure you could find a shop to build you a big donkey mud buggy just a stone's throw in any direction, butt I would do my research on whatever shop you look into first to see if they are capable and knowledgeable in getting done what you need.
