Long Travel BS Thread

As in buying used kits? If so that's exactly what I'd be doing honestly. If I ever found a used front kit I would pick it up in a heartbeat. Have done it with a ton of parts on here, and saves a lot of money...just need to check Day and night for the unicorn lol

 

haha i don't need two..well..i could use them. But i have other plans for one of the tacomas.

Though once i get more settled i very much want a single cab taco and to put mid travel in it all around for a commuter since half my commute is dirt anyways...so maybe later haha

 

Well let me know haha! Hopefully it will sell quick. What's the plans !! For frank or Igor ??

 

Frank i'd like to 4 link. But depending on how things go i might use the TC kit but use my T100 axle with them and stay SOA as i use the truck not mainly as a prerunner and as it sits gos fast enough for me on the single lane rocky mountain roads. But my original intent was on Igor. We will see. Might still use it on Igor and do custom hoops on Frank. No idea really haha

 

Yeah you can some babied ones for 1/2-2/3 the price of new if you find the right deal.

 

Nice man! It's pretty badass seeing you transform the trucks all yourself. I'm slowly learning myself as I go.

. Yea for sure! Especially with 2nd gens! It's hard to find nicer kits with 1st gens usually it seems they're beat to shit

 

yeah always a process. Fun too. takes time money and dedication. Pays off though.

 

Defiently... if your truck is your passion, what's spending a lot of money?

 

I've seen a few - also asking guys selling partially built trucks if they want to part out their front kit can work.

 

Damn that sounds rough. Any idea if it got toasted at all? Not that I'm interested, but kind of messed up if he is selling a busted up ride in the hopes some guy scoops it up not knowing what he is really getting.

 

Ill be having my front 3.5 camburg kit up for sale real soon you can pm me if interested

 

4wd?

 

pmd!

 

Used 3.5" 4wd kits...buy mine, it will give me an excuse to put solos kit on my truck

 

Exactly what I'm doing. Kits almost done. Waiting on shocks and the axles to come in. But first gen

Still available open to reasonable offers. No trades

 

Yes 4wd

 

When setting angles, can you just install everything then install leaf and or CB shims? I was hoping to get it all put together then worry about the driveline angles after. Is that what you did? Or am I missing something, like there's more to it?
Thanks

 

Just take the time to do it right the first time, it's far easier to build it correctly than to spend a ton of time trouble shooting and taking things back apart to add shims etc.

 

That would be a terrible way to do it. No offense but maybe you should have a Shop do it ?
