Long Travel BS Thread

Good for him. Its not easy slinging truck parts.Now days everyone expects Amazon lighting fast deals and service.

 

Anyone know if someone still makes the 98-00 Taco fiberglas hood with a scoop? Tried looking but cant find them on anyones site

 

I used to have one. It was made by glassworks. I might still have it actually lol

 

Another piece of the puzzle showed up today. Still a few little bits to order as I get to them but roll cage tear down starts next week.

 

What seats are you rolling with? Looks good!

 

I got a set of Toyota tx pro seats free when I bought the truck lol. Gonna rock dual seat belt options. Stock seat belt for day to day drives, and the harness for when I’m on dirt. Harness will tuck into the back seat pocket when not in use

Lemme know if you do and want to part with it

Somehow my google search led me to hanneman but it was the pre taco page, but thank you!

 

you bet! I don't have any personal experience with the company but i recall hearing that they make some quality glass if memory serves. may even be buying a hood myself from them so let me know what you think if you pull the trigger

 

When building an engine cage should I solid mount the radiator to the cage or use some kind of hard rubber mount for it? It's a all aluminum radiator. I don't know if the vibes, stress of bumps or frame flex will transfer to the radiators weak points and cause cracks? Thoughts?

 

Bolt it straight to cage.

 

how long are front lt springs typically? looking at a 700lb set but i want to make sure they are the right length before i mess with it

 

16” I believe is the standard length spring on a 8” coilover.

 

thanks for the quick response. midtravel is 14inch spring right?

 

You seen these? https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fs-king-coil-springs-spr3-16-700.594202/

Yes. Mid travel Kings run 14" springs.

 

I have heard that you should either rubber mount aluminum radiators or clamp them in, from the top and bottom.
Aluminum will get oblong holes if just solid mouthed.
Ex: dirtbike or streetbike radiators always have rubber mounts.
In one of DTF ‘s last 1st gen builds he clamped it in place, as to not use rubber mounts or wear the aluminum radiator mounts.

 

Anyone got any rear 4” TT bedsides for a short bed second gen they wanna sell? Or any brand reccomendations for that matter?

 

Those of you running dual rate 10” coilovers what spring rates and lengths are you running

 

Is locked off-road good for bumps cause they seem really nicely priced, any issues?

 

I've been checking them out. Seem pretty solid but I haven't pulled the trigger on any of their stuff. Really curious who makes their shocks though.
