Long Travel BS Thread

I would still build it with score rules, If you are putting out money to do it, do it right the first time just incase you decide to change your mind.

 

yeah i talked with my guy he said he wants to do it right, so im leaving it up to him. but if i ever do race, this will most likely be my chase truck, i would race in the trophy lights. im still only 18 so i have alot of time ahead of me

 

and if i ever wanted to race my truck i would have to ditch tiny I-4.

 

Make it "close" to score rulebooks and you should be fine in any other races, but it doesn't have to be exact. Use their book as a guideline, plus what are the odds of you actually racing a score race? Entree fee alone for most of their races starts at $800+

 

Tell them what the fuck do you know? were you there?

I hit a pot hole, thats why my alignment is fucked.

 

okay thanks, yeah score fees are stupid. then you need the transponder and all that crap.

and whats the odds of me doing more than a little local race? pretty much none lol

 

ill race your 4 cylinder, on foot

 

Good deal they can suck it. After you aline it make sure you mark the alinement tabs then you can do it yourself I found some 35s I'll PM you

 

You bent the frame on your truck Haven't seen that one on a Taco yet!

 

Anyone have any pics of the Defined Engineering close up pics of the bumpstop bracket?

 

The one that holds the bumpstop or the on the axle?!

 

Probably old news but thought it was cool.

Mine too! Sort of, alignement guy says i got frame damage from crash

 

I guess either lol just want a more detailed pic of the set-up, close ups of the components ect

 

Well the Bump stop mounts to the frame, via drilling out the 4 rivets holding the current strike pad and bolting it on, then the bumpstop mounts to that. As for the axle, I'm not sure...one sec I'll find a picture.

Edit: Here's what I could find...

 

You do the install yourself? IF so howd you go about making sure you welded the spring perch at the correct angle? and what was the factory angle you found or used for it?

 

He's most likely wrong it could be the allied spindles throwing it off. I could build you new uppers if need be.

 

Not my truck, it's Cliff's (OakleyTRD). I haven't decided if I want the rear LT yet, since I do more expedition type stuff, but we'll see.

As for the install Mike (Defined) said:

 

Uh..might have to read that when I am sober in the morning. After a few beers its hard to figure that out lol

Thanks for all the help man!

On a seperate note: Anyone installed chevy 63" springs on their rigs? Results, install outcome?
