Long Travel BS Thread

Fuck this shit. I’m about to give up on my Tacoma. Fucking pile.

 

Mini Canoe 3 Link for the wife's 4Runner?

 

Black hats 4th Gen by dirt design boogies hard

 

Steve was almost ready to make another run of those kits. Don't think he got enough interest though.

 

That was a question I had that I don't recall being discussed. What are you planning on doing to your rear if you go LT up front? You won't net any benefit of a 4" kit over a 2.25-2.5" if you don't address the rear.

If you want to keep the SOA, 14" smoothies, & archive hangers just got with the smaller kit. It'll outrun the rear as is.

 

That is a pretty sweet kit. I’ve also seen some people do shock tower/hoops that move the upper shock mount up a little bit. Gain like 2” of available up travel. Which for her is all it would really need with the stock width front. Just don’t think she’s quite ready for me to start chopping stuff off the frame on her rig lol. Someday maybe.

 

Verify that all that in there isn't matrial from a deterating Catalytic Converter..can sometimes be confusing and miss Diagnosed as bearing material.

 

I guess she wouldn't be down w some 14" bypasses? This is GX build on IH8MUD. I need to do this, but I'm a puss.

 

that truck will have next to no clearance from the tire to the co or shock ?

 

No Sir, I ain't seeing it either lol. I don't know what he did about that GX. Most guys have gone with a wider axle, Black Hat's DD kit has a Sequoia to match his front LT. But Steve at DD told me a 2" spacer helps a lot on a stock width for the rear. Personal choice to run spacers I guess.
CaliFab fits a 12" bypass in there w his 3 Link.

 

If she needs to go that fast she knows where the keys to the Tacoma are.

 

How would that wind up in my oil?

 

Also I’m catless lol

 

Exhaust pulse can suck the catalytic converter substrate material into the combustion chamber(s) causing oil contamination, piston ring wear and wrecking havoc on cylinder wall cross hatch

 

How much camber are you guys running? I feel like -2.9° is a lot. This is after alignment btw

 

I am happy between -.5 and -1

 

…transplant rejection your Toyota is crying

For the 5th time, lol

 

Camber I'd agree, try to stay under 1 degree. Unless it's a trip only offroad truck, then you could go lower.
Caster looks good. I like the higher the better.
Toe could be a tad better but its not worrisome.
