Long Travel BS Thread

Ok not gear related... What fire extinguishers and mount are u guys using? Preference on extinguishers them selves? So many choices.

 

x2 need one for my crawler

And any metal handled 2.5lb extinguisher. No plastic crap

 

well..same size really..

but the pinion bearings are bigger and carrier bearings and has the bear caps truss. Makes a difference.

well..go buy a shitty lil honda or corolla..done haha

do it. Seriously. it is awesome.

 

never in a million years lol that would not sit well with my family lol

 

That was my initial logic for buying my Tacoma in the first place, bought it to cage my Silverado. Then I bought a 240sx because I started building the Tacoma (side lining the Silverado) and realized that was a dangerous path to take so sold it and went with an IS300 and it too was dangerous right away because the 2JZ. Now I find myself in a ZL1 Camero... go figure, at least I managed to avoid the whole building process but not the money pit.

 

And that's how the circle goes round, haha. I used to own a 240sx till I blew it up twice. Think the only car I've owned that I didnt mod much was my 350z (it got a v2 bumper and zspeed flat belly). Then came the truck and just purchased an integra to build an autox/roadcourse car.

 

No kidding! I took up an offer this weekend to go up to New Mexico and have some fun in Gila Forest with the 350Z guys, now I want to go to a roadcourse event in two weeks. Already been looking for grippier tires and brake pads for the Camaro when I should be focused on installing bypasses and geared diffs on the Tacoma.

 

Few inches short of full droop. All this talk about drive line adapters, I just had mine done. Retubed, 1350 yoke and put a seal on the slip yoke instead of a boot for $250 bucks. Done

 

Hey i have a question for you guys how do you re. move your coilover shock with the total chaos shock buckets i can barly reach the rear bolt. Im trying to get all 3 off

 

Floppy head ratchet wrench should do the trick.

 

I haven't done a roadcourse in car (motorcycle I have though), only autox. I just bought new rpf1s and some s-drives for street sticky.

I should probably regear as well but the 3.73s and 315s haven't bothered me yet, ha

 

Used a normal wrench it took for ever but it came off whooo

 

yea the ratchet end ones are life savers for stuff like that. I love them.

 

I couldn't use that end lol I barley had room to put my finger over the bolt lol but i got them off. Im taking them for a rebuild tomorrow . They've been on the truck since 08 according to TC

 

@Blackdawg I hit up Zuk with a few questions about the 8.4. He says that a 5.29 is just as strong as the 4.88 and not to be worried at all. He then said it real comes down to who installs them. I dig he has good cryo guy lined up for decent price. I'm really considering shipping him a 3rd to get done. He told me about s new elocker that is from Australia for the 8.4 Yota
https://yotalockers.com/collections/differential-kits/products/harrop-elocker-a9334

He said it's awesome and I quote "best traction aid out there for the 8.4. They only run $1300-1400... Yeah so there's that

I am not gonna drop $2k in a Yota 3rd lol! Considering the Kazuma LSD. If a stronger version of the Yota stock LSD and only around $300. Reason behind my thinking is longevity and durability

 

That new Harrop is bad ass. Im thinking of getting them in my other truck. Pricey no doubt. But some pretty sweet features and instant on off. I like them. Just yea...pricey.

Zuk is a great dude, and yes, 100% depends on who sets the gears. Toyota diffs are very touchy...

Not a fan of LSDs personally..at this point, you may as well go all out or decided to swap to a 9''..you're going all out on other stuff. Don't cut a corner on the diff! Get what you want the first time id say.



oh and you better be going with 5.29s now trust me. well worth it.

 

I know all to well that it's all about who sets up the gears. Had my elocker redone by Yotamasters less than a year after it was regeared by a local shop and whined bad right away.

I went all out... of money lol. I got a tundra axle and relentless truss for it. Gonna do the 5.29s (I guess ) with some sort of traction aid. I figure should be decent espicially having them cyro'ed and set up by someone like him or even yotamasters. I also have an extra 3rd from the taco axle. As rad as a 9" would be that's down the road after some more powa!!!! To do the 9" like I want it would be pretty expensive!

 

well sounds like a plan. Can link it at that point too

 

Yup link, fuel cell, LS an 9".... It's just a fucking rabitt hole, how far down do want to go
