Long Travel BS Thread

clean looking truck for sure... but why is the lowert uniball almost maxed out at ride height? how much travel does he have from ride to bump?

 

definitely could use a different offset on the rim...looks like the tire rubs the spindle or damn close..i have to admit this is the first Nissan i have ever liked..damn sexy

 

I know right? Not really sure what it is anymore. Titan axle, Titan front and rear hubs, Titan disc brakes front rear, Dodge Viper 4.10gears. Apparently, he designed the fiberglass and had fiberwerx develop the product.

I believe it was how the truck was parked in the dirt when I took that pic. Not entirely sure how much from ride to bump.

Thought the same thing when I looked at it, but if you look at TC's spindles for 2nd Tacoma's they look very similar in terms distance from tire to metal. They do not make contact at all.

A cage is in the future, which is another reason we didn't go over 50mph. Still, at 50 those whoops look scary when you're used to driving a basically stock truck (mine).

 

Nice, definitely one awesome trucks!!

Got any vids?!:d

 

Not the greatest video, but a video non the less

Was trying out my 240p slow-mow setting on the Cannon PowerShot

 

really, This guy is running his kit still ,he was good to him ,

that glass he has looks way too huge for that truck...

 

thats the same glass i will be running... i didnt see anywhere in his pages mentioning tires size... i sure hope those arnt 35's because those wheel wells still look wayyy too empty.

 

they honestly look like 33s to me.. probably 35s though. i would run 37s with that glass.

yours will sit lower too though. right?

 

They are 33's

 

yes ill be on 35' bfg projects and will be about 2 inches lower if it all goes my way and i can get decent numbers at that ride height.

 

He says they are 37"s in the origianl post. I was thinking the same thing on the lower uniball. Doesnt look like there is much bump travel left. Not much shaft left on the shock either

 

there is no effing way those are 37's. look at the wall height. that would make those wheels at least 20's to have such a small amount of wall surface area.

 

I think he's referring to the Frontier not the Tacoma

 

ohhhhhh... got it... that tacoma is throwing me off. if my glass looks like that with all those empty ass voids im going to be pissed.

 

Just means you'll have to go baller status with 37's


And yeah, lack of quoting makes it hard to track what's been discussed, but I'm on my phone so I can't!

 

I wasnt quoting because I thought this was all about the frontier still. I didnt see the tacoma in there, my bad

 

makes me curious. I'll have to ask about the bump travel on the Frontier... all I can tell you is it performs really, really well by the seat my pants for what that's worth haha

 

theres a link at the top of this thread with the tacoma were talking about

 

nooo... i just paid for gearing for the 35's and have the 35's stacked in a corner in my garage. screwwww that! hahahah

please do. or next time your around it on the road snap a picture of that cup. unless that thing was sitting in a huge hole when those pictures were take, that is roughly close to the position of that cup as 1-1.5 inches isnt going to bring that angle down much... thats a pretty gnarly angle.

and a fyi... the boxed lowers that ive pulled off the truck are for sale... someone make a offer... lowers only for now.. if purchased and the buyer wants me to help with uppers we can cut a deal but my truck will be finished first before i take on any more projects.
