Long Travel BS Thread

Ah, I see! I'll have to check for the plug on mine since it said later 05 and up models may not have the plug.

 

Break the ABS actautor in half and reinstall the ECU part of it. I talk about it here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ord-9-inch-axle-install.771924/#post-27571591

 

I had a solid core support before I put in the inner fenders. Had to come up with my own way of supporting the front on the JDfab fenders due to not having a stock core support to attach too. Stilll no issues.

 

great, suddenly i have a new void to fill

 

I don goofed. I put 1/2-20 lug nuts both front/rear and have put probably 8-10k miles on the truck since just to realize when I went to rotate tires yesterday, that the front are still m12x1.5 and rear is 1/2-20 (unit bearings).

Correct front lugs are now on but will be swapping front to 1/2-20 ARP studs when I rebuild the outer hubs in the next few weeks.

So now I learned that 1/2-20 will thread onto m12x1.5 but will max out when they seize against the threads rather than actually bottom out to the hub. Luckily they bottomed out and sandwiched the wheel in all those miles without a catastrophe.

 

I have 6 daisy chained zip ties holding my driver headlight back in place lol

 

Post number 100,000. Congrats!

 

Fiberglass Question?

Just installed McNeil +2 fiberglass fenders and bedsides.

Is it better to paint or vinyl wrap these?

With movement in the fiberglass, I’ve seen paint crack in some photos on here. I don’t know anything about vinyl wrapping.

 

I’d spray a good coat of bedliner on the underside & then paint if you want it long term.
It’ll probably still crack a little still…
Clear wrap over the paint could be a good idea too

 

Im more looking into an approach like this. I have my cmc done, and a bunch of hammers here. Just beat the shit out of it till I dont hit anymore

 

Anyone? I want to order some replacements without having to disassemble them to see what they are.

 

WSSX16 are the best option for longevity. I personally do F1’s.

 

Gotta know whose arms. Measure the bore. If its 1.75 its com16t if its 2 1/8 its the AIN-16.
But ya I like the wssx16 f1 fit also

 

I don’t think anybody is using the 1.75” bearing but I guess I could be wrong on that.

 

I bed liner the back sides.. not for this reason but to prevent mildew.

 

Thank you, I’ll take a look at those.

They’re the AP LCA’s. Had the through bolt shear when the truck hit a tree at Jambo.

 

I saw that on badlinesgoodtimes I think !
Some uh blindfold codriver race?

 

Icon upper control arms do.

 

Yup, called blind man’s bluff. My friend was driving blindfolded and my son was giving him directions. My son said passenger, and Bobby went driver, then smack.

 

When we saw it, most people though you had more issues. Is the frame okay?
