Long Travel BS Thread

If all the parts on it are properly installed, it would be a nice candidate for caging and bumper since it seems they hit the parts & maintenance depts.

 

You sure that’s a Kibbe truck? Doesn’t seem to have much gold on it.

 

That dude just got it back, took kibble a year to build it it seemed like.

guess he realized having a $200k Silverado that can’t do what half the $100k trucks can do is dumb?

 

very clean work. I’d be concerned about the sheet metal cracking at the welds but it’ll be Interesting to see how it holds up!

 

I've still gotta add an outside flange for the panels that are gonna go on top to bolt to so should have some good cross strength so i'm not to concerned about it cracking. Yeah i wished i lived down in cali so i could just take out the wheel wells but in Washington theres to much rain, mud and snow for me to be comfortable leaving the engine bay that open and exposed.

 

personally, I wouldn't leave the wheel well exposed myself even in SoCal. Asking for too much trouble.

 

Just depends on what you use your rig for.

 

Interesting use of led pods instead of projectors on the headlights.

I've seen a GX460/70 somewhere with it too

 

High beams are alright but as driving lights I’d feel too bad about blinding everyone

the DD’s look great!
I was set of Baja designs for whenever I get “nice” lights but I think I’ll give DD a try first.

 

Hey anyone offhand know the pressure a stock 2nd gen power steering pump operates at roughly?....is it like 1200psi? ish?.....im playing with some pump options (howe TC pump) and a pressure/flow regulator.

Thanks in advance.

Workin on making my tundra rack swap stuff better

 

Might want to hit up @81Trekker at JD fabrication he's already doing that (the Howe TC pumps) to a couple tacomas in his shop right now. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...el-and-934-cv’s.626274/page-110#post-24113096

Trail Gear upgrade pumps for the 1st gen run 1650 psi and 4.5 gpm.

 

Thanks! Here’s some more pictures from that jump. I’ll see if I can get the video to upload

 

1000ish psi comes to mind. Its been a while since I researched it, but thats why I used a psc tc pump on my hydro because factory wasn't strong enough.

(Psc tc pump is 1200)

 

Anyone using heim outers on a 2nd gen with a factory spindle? Looking for some photo references... the factory outer tie rod uses the bottom of the steering knuckle and I've seen people drill them out and put heims on the top and the bottom side.
