Long Travel BS Thread

Ah so this is what he's been busy doing. I hit @Yotamac up last month because everyone said he had a lead on installing gears. Looks like he does good work too.

 

Those questioning 3.0 vs 2.5, y'all don't need the 3.0's, you just need winter.


Winter: Keeping shocks cool from October to May

 

Looks good man! He used my truck to prototype the Standard bed bedcage a year ago. Guess he never finalized things yet to put it in production. Looking back, wish I shoulda bought a daily and the rest of tools to build a cage myself, just for the experience.

Easy over bumps, felt like the springs would want to rip the carrier bearing out sometimes. haha

 

Got me some Big boy shocks race 3.0s 4tubes , now its time for a revalve and some shock tab adjustments.

on another note
My 16” 2.5s tris are gonna be Up for sale soon they’re valved for a tacoma with dmz fab sua or any setup that uses a 16” bypass. Last rebuild had all new seals oil etc and new shafts. I’ll post them up in the for sale section once it get em off.

 

Where’d you pick those up at?

 

454 motorsports on instagram, he was selling the ones off his sons truck.

Looked familiar lol

 

Need 8” tripples. Keep looking please. And on the cheap

 

Whatcha thinking on price? Kings too?

 

No doubt man, I love my rear set up with it. Perfect fit with a 3.5 front.

 

Did something similar on my tundra for a TC pump. Built an adapter plate to bolt to the factory mount. Just watch out, I know of a few people who have blown up the factory rack seals running a TC pump.

 

@Basikbiker and @Supermoto what did you guys have to do with the stock pressure switch if there was one? I accidentally broke the connector (and plastic part of the switch) on my 1st gen and while I'm going to replace it, I'm trying to figure out what it does.

 

I ripped off my entire stock steering and built swing steering with a Saginaw box.

 

What did you do with the connector - I'm wondering what it really does since even the stock pump is belt driven?

Mine didn’t have a pressure switch

 

I'm wondering whether sas dudes with the trail gear or other pumps even use it. I'll figure out what it does - one of the 1st gen electrical gurus will know haha.

Edit: @SanClemTaco got that figured out

 

Google search would help

I appreciate it man.

 

It is a switch for the idle up, like when u turn it wheels and the pump is bogged it'll bump the idle a smidge to keep it workin....I think
