Long Travel BS Thread

Thank you!

 

since were on the topic of racks. My rack clicks going in/out on the driver side only. I pulled the boot back and its the steering rack that seems to either have play or makes noise. I first thought it was a loose inner TRE but those were tight.

Is my rack on life support? No leaks just a click and slight movement. Bolts are tight as well.

 

I'm on my 2nd rack and will be needing a 3rd one soon, hopefully I can hold out for the MarRack..


The "MarRack" in development by MarlinCrawler but looks promising none the less..

you'll have to go back a few pages see how the spindles were modified for this new rack and other tidbits

 

I want to keep my bed

 

cut a series of 3/16ths plates for the inside of the frame to make it a fully boxed, then add several X cross members that go top to bottom, and at least 2 count 3" diameter tubes that go all the way through inner and outer frame walls, so you can see light through the truck.

*The above based on inspection of frames for heavy and super duty trucks, not any knowledge of linked taco frames.

 

Looks familiar

 

How's it holding up?

 

found some old pic thought you guy would like

 

It's so cute and tiny

 

dat 6" fender with stock suspension look yo'

edit - just a JK Dillon I know you have a full LT set up now

 

Lol was just running deliveries at work and saw a 2nd gen trd or, and thinking about this I thought there was something wrong with it. Nope it was just completely stock and looked small.

 

One tab left

 

Damn I wish he would make one for 1st gens

 

Nope and I'm assuming nope. You can always re-drill the driveshaft, but 2nd gen Tundras are way wider than the first gen Tundra axles that people usually use. It's what 2nd gen Tacoma guys with +6" kits use. Stick with first gen (00-06) Tundra axles - they'll most likely be less expensive too!

 

Anyone need a tundra or t100 axle. Got one of each

 

Can someone tell me if my findings are correct or not? Factory wms-wms for a 2nd gen is 60.75" front and back correct???

 

That's first gen rear axle width. 2nd gen is around 66".

 

front wms to wms varies depending on how much lift you have too , as you lift the front end the front end pulls in narrower so if you need a precise measurement you should measure your own truck under load

 

Well I do know that the lift I have gives me an extra 1.5 in overall width im just trying to double check what the straight from the factory width is.
