Long Travel BS Thread

Depends, in the sand I leave it on all the time. If it's rocky or there is a lot of turns in the trail and good traction I turn it off. If it's really loose I use 4WD intermittently. I have a manual shift lever on my left side so I can shift the T-Case in and out of 4wd on the fly. Just play with it and you'll get it figured out, just don't shift it while you are on the throttle and turning and you'll be ok.

 

My King coil overs are valved 20 comp 12 rebound with 600lbs 18" springs.

I think the adjustments I have are too soft so I will start with the bypasses and go from there before I worry about valving.

I was getting really into that video and then it just ended. I want to see more of that build.

 

I got a 50T pack that I might be selling need money for the new project

Well I forgot to mention but when I went to meet the tow truck driver I noticed my front end felt a like shaky when I hit the brakes so I parked to find my upper control are nut had rattled loose and the bolt was a bout half way out and one of my bushing halves was barely holding on. So i pulled out my handy dandy hammer and beat the bushing back in then the bolt and duct taped that bitch and drove 4 hours in the rain home lol



Needless to say my new one is covered in loc-tight

 

Duck tape FTW!!! lol

 

is your fox resi held on with black tape? lol

 

You should see what holds the rest of my truck together lol

Ehhh I need to stop being lazy and mount the resi's properly

 

x2

Resi mounts and hose clamps are like $10 dude lol

 

Ay I didn't get to take a pi but I saw a Titan on campus fully Long traveled and I believe the kit up front was the Brenthal kit... But I noticed the shock towers and how the fox trip bypasses where mounted... They were standing straight up... I remeber u guys saying that isn't a good idea due to the how the suspension cycles and it will bottom out to much can u elaborate a little more on why it needs to be angled..?? Now does it vary on truck???

 

Looks like the new 3" Tacoma lift spindles are $1200 on sale from the normal $1500 price. Looks like Christmas came early for you 1st Gen guys.

i was just looking at that over on TTORA. i want these so bad and i'm going to get them, it's just a question of when. December is a bad month to try to buy stuff for the truck, all my money goes to gifts...

anbody looking to buy a kidney?

 

I'm right there with you. There are some Raceline 6x5.5 15" beadlocks on RDC here in phx for $150 each and he has 6 of them. I can't blow all of my cash on them.

 

How are you going to run 15" wheels? Wont they hit your brakes?

 

1st gens can run 15s no problem. THats what my enduros are. I like them because Tires are way cheaper for 15s and easier to find sizes that I want/run

 

15's and 17's are great for cheap tires

 

You suck for being able to run 15's. Go pick up those Racelines.

Yup. Thats why I went to 17s. However you cant get Kevlar BFGs in 17's until you go up to 37" tires.

 

I have have (4) 285/75/16 BFG a/t for sale lol
(2) have 50% left
(2) have about 25-30% left

$200 takes them all. Make great spares. no plugs or patches or side wall damage

also (1) 16" Mojave Teflon $75 takes it

 

i'll see what I can do. If I can book another garage floor I'll buy them because then my savings won't be almost empty like it would if I got them today lol

 

Paddle tires anyone?
