Long Travel BS Thread

How the fuck is he not perma- banned !? He took thousands of $ and ran with it right ?

 

He is friends with tcbob

 

lol

Did you ever get everything squared up through tcBob?

 

You should act as an interested buyer and test drive that pos's truck into a brick wall and then let it roll off of a cliff

 

Are you serious !?

 

Thinking about just selling the TC shock relocation for my rear of my 04 Taco I just bought. And just doing what my true goal is, to spring under the rear. Ended up making more money than I thought with this job. I'm familiar with most of the parts I need. Just unsure about shock selection... bedcage/shock tower setup. Many of the parts I can buy from TC hangers/shackle/ pivots. Just curious on what else I would need or should I go through a local company like solo to help me out? I can do most of the install myself and have some buddies who can weld for me. Maybe wouldn't trust them 100% with geometry of things. I don't know much myself, just familiar with the parts. What shock size would you guys reccomend ? I think the deavers I would go with were the F67 or 87? Something like that don't remember. Could I build towers also or something lowkey while saving bed space ? It's not a race truck. But would like a badass setup in the rear for sure. Anyone with experience spring undering a 1st gen? Thanks guys

 

Hit up @jeffz0rz he's an expert at this sort of thing. Solo guys are experts, but their work costs what they're worth since they have a busy shop and more overhead than a one man operation. Either way you'll be good - congrats on making more money than you expected!

 

Appreciate it man! I'll hit him up!
Edit: yea I've seen solos work... clean, but I can see it being pricey for sure!

 

I actually saw it a while ago for sale. It's a nice little truck and the thought of taking it airborne crossed my mind, just so I can see what all the Baja Bro's on here talk about so much!

 

This is some of his work - he's also helped out @Evenflow and @VolcomTacoma among others I don't know:

My neighbor is a heep guy and he is not "happy" but I wouldn't be happy with his knocking engine with 160k either - Toyotas ftw

 

Just sent him a PM! Thanks for the reference! Love his daily driver links on that 2nd gen wonder what that would cost

 

Is it wrong to do up the rear the way you want. And have front Mid travel for awhile ? I see a lot of guys with front LT and stock rear ends...and say it's just not worth it..

 

That's @Evenflow's truck.

 

It's a clean truck for sure... wonder what kind of damage that thing can do in the dirt

 

It's been for sale ever since he lawndarted it out at the dunes

 

Suspension and armor air tested. Works great!

 

no doing the rear first is a much better way to go.

 

That's what I've heard! Glad I am making the right decision... you plan to still use your TC rear kit? I'll be selling mine if I can get something going with Jeff.. if you want two kits lol

 

@jtanner21
I'm saving for the rear and looking for smoking deals on the front in the meantime incase I can save some money.
