Long Travel BS Thread

Tacoma with an LS swap, but it's still rocking a full hydraulic steering set up.

 

@northwesttaco

I was wondering why no one has done this yet

 

And LS???

this needs a build thread NOW!

 

Is that street legal (the hydraulic steering setup)?

 

probably not.

 

Dirt designs right?

 

thought that truck had a chevy V6?

 

Ya for a little bit longer. Gonna do front bypasses and take the truck to solo for their rack before desert season

 

Cost would be my main guess. Also, I believe you get a lot less feedback through the steering wheel since there's no mechanical link between the two.

I mean, technically any suspension modification we do isn't street legal...

 

full hydro is super sketchy. Have it on our crawlers, aired down 42s you can turn it with your pinky just sitting there, literally feels like your driving a boat.

 

nice for when you have a crawler with 42s aired down..

going 50-70mph down a desert road...probably not so cool .haha

 

exactly haha i couldn't imagine going faster than 40 with full hydro just on a street haha

 

Anybody in the SD area have a stripped down first gen rear end? I want to set up my rear axle spring perches and pinion angle without taking apart my daily

 

I have a complete rear end out of a first gen I will sell you. I think it already has a spring under perches.

 

No different than the U4 guys doing 100 in the dirt on full hydro.

 

different when you have control vs when you are just counter steering and guessing what itll do next

 

The lack of steering feedback is a problem, but an even bigger problem is if you lose a belt, or your truck is turned off, you have ZERO steering.

 

Im converting to t100 rear end. you have my axle shafts Thanks

 

@dirt addiction trimmed his for 37's

 

I cut mine a lot for 35s(1st gen)

To secure the bottom, i drilled a hole in the pinch weld under the cab. Then a hole in the fender. I put a zip tie through the fender as a loop then another ziptie through the pinch weld hole and into the ziptie loop on the fender. works great.
