Long Travel BS Thread

Gotcha. Yeah seems anything over 37 is gonna be wider.

 

I wanted to try some of the 37” X-comp AT’s but they only come in 13.5 width:/

 

Yep. If I remember super swamper makes them (no thanks) and Nitto but they are something like 650-700 a tire. Too rich for my blood.

 

Yeah I miss the price of my last Patagonias at like $220 per tire. That’s almost unbeatable without sponsorships lol

 

Dang that’s cheap. Haha.

When I quoted 37’s a month or so ago they were 369 each.

 

Yeah that was 3 years ago before the pats got all the hype and attention. Now there like $350 like you said

 

what kits are yall using for a banjo bolt and line on the caliper?

 

mock up what you need with a pice of string or wire to figure out the length and call Crown Performance they will make exactly what you need in any color you want

 

Sweet i already have the crown extended lines but just wanting to get rid of the oem hard line at caliper.

 

Is it really a bad idea to upgrade the tie rods to a solid piece with heims?

 

Nope. But it may make your steering rack the sacrificial part in the equation of what breaks first. There are ways to mitigate it. But be prepared to spend money. I went with the JDFab slide rack and spindle double shear setup. Others went Tundra rack.

 

Eventually I will do something about the rack but for now I was going to do tie rods

 

yeah they work great just don’t be surprised when your rack breaks. I’ve got a tundra rack and I love it…other than you do loose a little turning radius with it.

 

Who's bumper is that?

 

Finally gonna paint the tubes today.

 

Anyone know of a place to get custom pieces of this valance stuff? I picked up a kit but it’s like six inches tall and looks stupid. It’s borderline impossible to cut as well.

 

Mcmaster

 

I tried there but couldn’t find the width and length.

I actually got it cut finally. Other than being one of the most crooked cuts I’ve ever seen the trick was to just cut half way through and snap it the rest of the way.

 

Looks like one of @DTFtacoma bumper options

 

If it is just ABS you are looking for just google plastics suppliers in your area. ABS is actually very easy to cut but the trick to a clean cut is to go so slow that the blade does not heat up and melt the plastic. A new coarse wood cutting blade in a variable speed jigsaw cuts like butter , feather the trigger to keep the blade cool and you’ll be amazed how clean it cuts. You should have cool dry chunks coming off no melting at all. You can also block sand your edges and then scrape them with a razor blade and then hit them lightly with a heat gun. If you are real OCD you can even wet sand and buff the edges to a mirror smooth shine.


You can also have the plastics supplier cut it for you, it comes in 4’ x 8’ sheets.
