Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

When he calls just answer "Papa John's Pizza, can I take your order please?"

 

Im going to be honest. Didn’t even know you ordered a kit.

 

Yup...I’ve put the lca pivot kit and slide rack on. Ordered shocks and the plus 4 kit a week ago.... in for the long wait now.

 

Started on my steering kit, I think I got the wrong tie rod adapter @81Trekker. I should have the one for a 2.25” kit.


thank you for whoever posted the link for the 5/8 reamer. It took about half a second, money well spent.

 

"Thank you for calling the pedophilia hotline. An FBI agent has been notified and will be contacting you soon. Goodbye."

 

You’re one piece extensions will be getting mailed out Friday. We are supposed to pick them up from the machine shop this afternoon. I sent you the standard ones so you could get your truck together in the meantime

 

Awesome! You want these back after?

 

Just picked these up... we now have steering extensions for our double shear kits in 3 sizes.

stock length
2.25”
4”

The 2.25 will work with any 2.5” LT kit and the 4” will work with a 3.5” LT kit.

so basically no matter what kit you have you can run the double shear kit to your factory inner tie rods

 

The ability to make parts that'll cross work with other companies and not be proprietary is above the competition

 

Do you have a build thread for the rebuilding of your 81 , awesome work on all this Toyota stuff , what a wealth of knowledge and true craftsmanship. I only have one question at the moment and I’m sure it’s common knowledge but on the the axle kits you sell is there not an issue with the outer stock cv as it’s being reused , they don’t fail or have an issue and they generally hold up to the punishment ?

 

There is a build https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/81-tube-frame-trekker-now-adding-ttb’s-and-400hp.626283/

I post a bunch of pics on IG too- @toyota_dreams

the outer cvs generally break because the inner binds up first putting a lot of stress on the axle which in turn breaks the outer CV. The 934 relaxes the axle at full droop and helps keep the outer alive

 

Thank you , I hope to be buying some of your products in the future I just have to do my research and get the best bang for my buck and for my application. Awesome work .

 

Just a heads up to anybody running +2.25 kit and wanting to put on 4.75" back space wheels, full compression and full crank can have some issues:



Some how I never noticed that when doing the install and cycling everything. I don't think it happens often at all, but just so you know to check.

 

Holy crap. Did it cut your wheel lip apart?

 

It only happened on the passenger side. Driver side wore through the strap, but didn't contact the bolt.

The bolt head wore a groove into the rim right on the very edge of the inside face of the wheel a few millimeters deep and wide. Not super awesome, but I think the wheel will be okay.

Not JD's fault in any way at all, just want to give a heads up for anybody considering a similar setup. These are 4.75" BS 17" wheels. 16's would likely hit the tire bead rather than the rim. I know the Harry recommends 4.5" back space, and this is another reason to listen to what he says! I was stoked when they cleared the spindle gusset without issues, but didn't foresee this problem!

 

Yikes. Did you hear it when it happened or notice it after the fact?

 

Just noticed a few days later after rallying the truck a bit on the weekend. Only happened fully cranked with the wheel in a certain compressed position. I don't think I could even make it happen in the shop. I think extra flex of being off road just pushes everything that little bit further which is why I never noticed before.

 

Sounds like it’s time to order some trail ready wheels

 

At least you got some good pics...

 

Jeez! At least one of us is out there using the kits! I can’t wait to use mine.

I would imagine it applies to the +4 kit too. I’m on a 3.5BS 16in wheel but I will be going 17. Wasn’t sure if I was going to do 4 or 4.5 backspace.
