Long Travel BS Thread

@tubbsisland bad ass old truck was a wishbone 3 link.

 

I wasnt the first j arm taco... but I was the first j arm 4wd taco I think?

 

Nah, DD did that crazy bad ass linked taco with a Chevy motor swap and a center front mount and it was a J arm.

 

Second gen? Gotta get a glimpse of these warlocks lol

 

Not anything as badass as the garage / yard fab of biker and silver, but got to stop by and pick up some coil bucket adapters for some used 8" co's I just got so I can get my kit installed while I learn better fab skills for the shock / co mounts for the 10" ers. TC and even Solo wanted $150 + for them - Camburgs were $65





I guess finned oil coolers are the new black:



The fabled first gen manual hub lt - I asked the guy that was helping me how they source the axles and confused the guy. It's OK I know most people they deal with aren't throwing money at 20 year old trucks lol.



He was nice though and let me check out the shop with some nice stuff going on like these 6100 trucks:



I learned that 6100 series are very similar to Trophy Trucks (most of you probably already knew this, but you know...) with few a mandated limitations like a wussy 600hp motor...



Soon, soon I will have more to post

 

Yeah. I'll find the thread tomorrow. Was a bad ass build.

 

Are you referring to the yellow tacoma?

 

The black one with the currie center right and LS?

 

Isn't that one a first gen?

 

Ahh you're right, I think it had a second gen conversion

 

Yeah I found that build earlier looking for the yellow second gen. Still a bad ass build. I think he yellow one is only 2wd. I found one pic but the link is no longer working.

 

I remember that one. It was a Corvette and a Tacoma merged together. Had the engine and transaxle from the Vette keeping the IRS.

 

Interesting. I've never found anything on it other than a few pics. Never noticed the IRS

Wrong

 

I went On a mojave trail run with that truck back in Oct 2013. Blew Rear CV about half way thru. Towed him to Goff where he called a tow truck to take it to his house in Parker. Got a video of it here at around 28 seconds.

All depends on where you live and what you wheel. We get snow here and I enjoy rock crawling as well as go fast stuff. So 4x4 is the only logical option

 

Im not running them in the front just rear i talk to, customwheeloffset,SD truck shop,Bora they all said no lock tight because the lock tight will eat the zinc off the wheel stud and make it rust and when you put your tire on every time you take them off its not like your applying lock tight every time ....idk i just hate spacers time to save some money and get a wider rear end

Don't loctite your wheel to the spacers, just loctite your spacers to the hub. You shouldn't be pulling them off all that often.

 

So...buy a DD LT rig?

 

i was talking just in general about if you had no spacers at all you don't us lock tight to keep you wheel and tires on that all.
