Long Travel BS Thread

Can you send pictures of how and where you mounted those mid flaps

 

I did this. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...berglass-bedsides-glassworks-write-up.448370/

 

yeah. I will when I get home from work.

 

I mounted them to the sliders quick and easy. I can get more photos once I get home if you need them.

 

I wish I had sliders... Thanks!

Do those help a lot from mud and shit hitting the stanchions of the shock or is it mainly for looks?

 

The main reason I got them was to prevent me from sandblasting my shock shaft and axle housing more than I already had. From the limited seat time with them on they seem to do a fairly good job. It might not be the best way to install them but it was the easiest.

 

As long as everything is reconnected and airtight the evap system doesn’t know the difference.

 

I did the 4Runner hose too like @Airdog. $30 and it looks nice and factory.

 

I couldn't find a 4runner hose for the life of me. I bought it from 2 different websites and each time I got an email saying it's discontinued

 

hmm weird, I bought mine in like 201 I think.. a few years ago for sure

 

Driveshaft had a nasty trifecta of issues that were all being masked by the OEM carrier bearing. Shafts were out of phase with each other, balance was way off, and center U-joint was toast. Everything re-balanced and put back together with the Mitchmade bearing and the driveline feels smoother than with the OEM bearing. At least the truck will let me know if the shaft ever has another problem.

 

Super cheap easy peace of mind for the scary short OEM studs. These are a must

 

Or you could drill out your hubs for longer 5/8 studs.

 

you’ve actually not been using ET lug nuts until now

 

Do I need to change my wheels for this?

 

Depends
Some wheels have room to drill
Some don’t
My racelines I just drilled out

 

You can thank discount tire lmao. It’s been in the back of my mind this entire time.

was laying in bed and was like hmm I should order those

 

what he said.
Though my trail readys came drilled for 5/8 and 45 degree lug nuts.

 

Worst problem I had was the shelf of the studs was just a hair larger than the stud itself so I had to drill mine twice

 

IS300 studs from arp fit without modification and are about twice as long
Pair it with some titanium lugs and you've got little to no gain in rotating mass, more corrosion resistance, no drilling, and an opportunity to flex on the haters

that's how mine is set up. Just gotta make sure you use some kinda grease or antisieze on the lugs and go slow threading them on/off cause titanium likes to gall easily and basically friction weld itself to stuff
