Long Travel BS Thread

I see 5mph on the speedo haha jk jk

 

Haha I actually forgot about that. I was going to replace it with ABS style when it fell out but its still there lol

 

valence material... where is the best spot to find it? I remember someone had kits available at one point

 

Are you looking for just the plastic or the plastic, tabs, and hardware?

 

Any of you guys need 4 point lap belts?

 

I know where to find everything except the actual plastic, but a kit that includes everything would be handy for sure

 

Try paragon plastics, their in santa ana so might be a little far, but im all but certain they do ship

 

I'm in Santa Clarita, I have at least one spare strip of valance material, maybe two. If you need more than that I can pick you up some when I restock

 

Does anyone know for sure if the Camburg 1st gen Tacoma LT kits will fit on the Tundra too? It all looks very similar and I know parts interchange but Camburgs website shows different part numbers for each kit

 

they will not. the lca frame side mounts are larger on the tundra

 

Just snapped a front CV axle. Was doing something relatively outside the normal bounds of offroading, and was locked front and rear at the time.

Planning ordering the axle itself from All Pro. Any recommendations on where to order the end pieces / joints from?

I guess I could re-use what I have, but those have 160,000 miles on them. Might as well replace.

 

Cvj axles. They will even build it with the extended shaft if you send it to them

 

CVJ is the way to go!!

 

I installed my +2 kit with 8" coilovers. The springrate on the coils is 600lbs and since my truck is a 4 banger reg cab PreRunner it's light enough to get 3-3.5" of lift without any preload on the coils. I started noticing an intermittent ticking sound when stopping and starting. It doesn't happen every time but frequently. After some googling it seems like it could be the drive shaft.

I plan on doing some work on the rear in a month or so - my question is would adding a slip yoke fix drive shaft angle issues or should I order some shims to correct the drive shaft angle instead?

 

You would need to measure your driveshaft angles to determine if they need adjustment. If they are out you will usually feel it more so than hear it

 

Looks like I'm out of the lt crew now lol

 

Thank you. I'm looking into it and the only part I'm not sure of is measuring at the axle. I figure I can use this for the transmission angle:

And the driveshaft itself for the drive shaft angle. The last measurement is the one I'm not sure of. I have a one piece ds.

Also I checked the ds for slop and it appears to be fine for now. I have a 40 mile drive home and I'd have to go get axle shims and longer centering pins tomorrow. Can I drive without messing up my ds? Oh yeah and I'm in Yorba Linda if anyone has some shims lying around lol

 

You use the face of the u joint mounting flange on the diff

 

What's next for you?

 

They say it's like a boat... the best two days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
