Long Travel Taco

sub'd

 

Same here, only got cell phone pics so far, wanted some good ones so I could see the details, won't see the truck in person for a while still.. But here's a couple from @dirt designs of the rear swing out he did. can mount rotopax or other accessories to it if I remove the tailgate.

Also you can see the panels they built to seal the shock area. Bed was Rhino Lined as well.

 

you guys gotta hurry back so i can see the updates on the truck lol. all i see are snaps of the guys messing around. seems like all play and no work over there haha

 

haha nobody wants to snap the BS, its depressing lol

 

you've got a good point haha

 

I love that rack/cage. Thing looks awsome.

 

@sytfu510 what does your bump stop setup look like up front? I think you mentioned having super bumps, but was wondering how many spacers you were running if any. I will be cycling my DD kit this weekend but just realized now that I have everything all nice and painted up front that I had to weld in the Total Chaos Spacers to work with their stock length arms. My gut is that I will be cutting those off the bump stop mount with the DD lt kit though.

 

Zach, you prob already know this but it warrants repeating just in case... when you cycle your kit do it with the coil over mounted and your axles in. Pull the springs off and you will be able to cycle it with a jack under the LCA. The reason for this is that a lot of kits will cycle a few more inches than the CO or axles will. My guess is that with the vertical uniballs on your kit it is very likely that your axles will be the limiting factor that you need to ensure your bumps and straps are properly protecting. My Solo kit for example will cycle 2” more than my axles are capable of.

Edit - please post some pics when you get it done, I've got the itch to upgrade my +2 Solo kit and that kit looks like a super good value with the fab'd spindles...I'm just hesitant about the steering radius so very curious to hear your feedback.

 

Yeah, I know my axles will be the limit on down travel for sure. Up travel I think I will end up setting bumps to limit how much my tires eat into the inner fenders but I will see. I will post pics and info on my build thread over the weekend. Took apart my stock axles last night which went surprisingly well, so all I have to do is reassemble with the new axles tonight and I will be ready for re-installation of all the parts.

 

Originally I had no spacers in, my limiting factor was the fenderwell itself. However DD did add a spacer in to keep the wheel from jamming against the fenderwell. However I haven't seen it as I'm still deployed. So not much help unfortunately. However I'd like to see how yours turn out. I still think in the future I'll cut out the fenderwells and go with airbumps and utilize more of the travel.

 

Sounds about right. I would love to come up with something like this that fits the tacoma.

Build it so a cage was incorporated that you could tie a air bump into.

 

But does that help with the firewall?

 

Not sure, with my setup I am not as worried about the firewall. Maybe going up to 37s but the lt kit pushes the wheel forward a little so the only spot it’s looking like I need more clearance is the top of the wheel well

 

Which kit you looking at?

 

Already have the dirt designs kit that the OP has. It moves the wheel forward 1”

 

One updated pic!

Next up:
New sliders from @JLee DOM w/kickout and filler plates
Then off to Audiomobile for the rear sub update.

 

Looks great! Bet it rides even nicer.

 

So dope

 

Thanks, I hear that from my buddies that drove it. Be a while before I get home.

Thanks!

 

You let someone else deflower her !?
