Long Travel BS Thread

What he said. Another thing that will happen. Where ever you wrap around the glass in the wheel well, in time it will peel up. Not a big deal just a simple trim if it does. I have plain black vinyl and running through the Colorado trails it's held up pretty well. I see some scrapes from branches but no tears.

 

I did mine with just a ratchet and breaker bar, like you said, just requires more time and effort, but not terrible.

 

good idea lol

 

Anyone got some good engine cage pictures.... lookin for ways to skin that cat, want to keep it simple and bump off the spindle because the LCA way is just fuckin retarded

 

you can't do that with stock spindles FYI. Needs to be a fully fabbed spindle.

In case you didn't already know that..if you did then carry on!

 

Ditching your core support or just building around it?

 

Seen it done more than a few times with gusseted spindles.... but yes the plan is to make a new kit with vertical uniballs n stuff

 

Kinda maybe keep it at this point, more to just hang the fenders and tie the cab cage in, secondary shock mounts

 

I love this style of engine cage. You can squeeze 10" shocks in there and keep building on to it in stages.

 

We all know bumping off that uca means chopping up a good chunk of core support.

 

This is the style that I have on my truck, just make sure with any engine cage you have plenty of vertical tubes from the frame up to the shock mount/bump stop area.

 

Feeler...sort of. Probably going to dump our Fiberwerx Tundra conversion clip and change things up. Looking for around $400 as is...currently wrapped, has a bit of damage on one side, holes from mounting, and is cut at the grill to make removal easier. Not perfect and would need a little bit of work to be new looking, hence the asking price. Would come with the clip, mini fenders, and probably some/most mounting hardware.

Can take and send current pictures or show it in person if someone is serious. Not looking to make a killing here, just recoup a little cost to roll in to whatever we do next.

Pic below is from Fiberwerx site, when we first mounted it.

 

What you swapping to? I always loved these Tundra conversions...

 

Not 100% sure yet. Would like to go with the Fiberwerx 2nd Gen conversion clip but may go with the 1st Gen McNeil hood and fenders. Taking it back to a Tacoma look. Class 7100 is a stock motor/production type class so I'd like to get it looking like a Tacoma again for marketing's sake. And it's been on the truck for 5+ years so I'm itching for a change.

 

Ya I wish there was a better 1st Gen looking 1 piece out there. The one Fiberwerx designed with Link Motorsports like 12 years ago is ok and does a good job, but the fender opening is just so high... I know Jason used to have a deal where if you purchased three clips he would design a mold and stuff for you. But it has been a long time since I was doing projects with them, before I joined the Air Force...

 

Yeah not a lot of great 1st Gen options.

 

After 5 years of stalking this thread I finally belong....well at least half way lol

 

Super clean!!!!

 

Someones selling the total chaos boxed spindle that matches up with the 3.5 LT kit for like $800 obo on offroad_classifieds on ig. Not a bad deal.
