Long Travel BS Thread

Boxed and braced

 

Is it on facebook / CL / offerup? I remember reading about one that has a crack in it. Do you have contact info? Interested in @anthony250f's - just waiting to hear if it'll work out for my needs & wants

 

Yeah I have not tried 3 tube bypasses yet, still pretty new, but I now have 3-tube Fox 2.5x14 in hand. I did test fit one real quick, and I do think tubes forward should work without interference.
Back in January I didn’t have that info, if tubes are outboard towards tire you will need a fat spacer and negative offset wheels, most people are already running spacers, and if you are +2" up front, it probably balances out

 

Thanks for the info. I'm currently running TRD Pro rims. They are a 4" BS and 7" wide, which is 0 offset. I was figuring I'd need spacers in the rear to clear the shock relocate and even out the track width, so it will just be a matter of figuring out how thick.

 

TRD Pro wheels are probably closer to 5" bs.

 

Just remeasured the one downstairs that's going to be my spare when I need new tires.

4.25" BS. I think the FN f(x) pro rims that look like the TRD Pro rims but are 17x8 have a deeper BS. I should be able to measure one this weekend.

 

hey, those look familiar

 

Here's a pic of a tundra rack for anyone interested. Was gonna try to do this myself, but supposedly some machining is involved and not sure how to adapt the steering shaft. Probably just gonna bite the bullet and pay to get it done. Hopefully I won't blow seals every other trip with this

 

Is Solo Motorsports doing the work? I know they have been putting Tundra racks in their customers Gen 2 Tacomas for awhile.

 

Yeah. The pic is the blue linked 2 gen they did

 

Where do you guys get replacement spindles from?
My spindles are gusseted with the "bajakits" gussets and I have a feeling they are too bulky now and since I'm now under total chaos's banner I'd prefer to be running their spindle gusset set up so that the mall crawler look of the kit is all uniform to total chaos specs

 

You've got 3 options.
Find a used set on TW $200
Get a used set from a dismantler $450
Get a new set from the dealer $650

You may want to try to swap your gusseted set for a stock set in the b/s/t

 

I've got a set with the non-sway bar gussets from TC. I have a stock set I need to swap on since I went back to stock and want my sway bar back on - not as fun without it with the stock coilovers compared to having the Kings on there from my kit. PM me if you're interested.

 

They are too bulky?

Just leave them....they are gussets.

 

I think they remind him of something... lol

 

major PTSD

 

We have looked into this in the past. the uniball cup does not get ovalized, the play that uniball has is very very slight. the shim that fixes the issue is .01

 

we are talking .01 thick shims

 

the shim placed in the cup is .01 thick. cutting the uniball cup out would be a little excessive.

 

You can get them from Toyota McDonough parts department online for around 260 a piece + shipping
