Long Travel BS Thread

yeah i dont understand, people with 2nd gens dont really have to cut too much for 33s, dude i had a 20 lb sledge with a 3 foot handle going to town, full blown swings for like 20 minutes and i still dont think its enough to where i dont rub everywhere.
i was wondering if it was just my truck if i bent stuff haha

 

Rj the only point you need is that 37's pulls bitchs

 

What's not to understand...the shear size of a 2nd Gen is more the size of a 1st Gen Tundra

 

Thats because you were running wheel spacers. I beat mine a little bit before LT but I dont rub at all with LT and 33's

 

i added another sentence onto my other post, i just thought it was my truck haha but thats the blonde side of me coming out saying stupid stuff.

 

i took off my wheel spacers cause with the 33s i was rubbing almost full droop at full lock.

with my spacers off in the dunes i hit my fender wells with my tires about once every 30 seconds or so, the first couple times it sounds really scary and you get out but then everything is fine. my truck transfers alot of noise through it cause its gutted.

 

wow its like the gay Bro version of my truck

Just saw this guy on the 15 north going thru the Cajon pass. Siiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!!!

 

Yes it is

 

From the man who build one of the greatest TT's ever (yes I know it's not a TT but the info is still relevant):

 

That's the IRS truck that SMS built a few years ago for SEMA, well I think it is

It's IRS either way

Edit: Nope NOT the TRD truck unless like changed the glass, still badass tho!

 

does that mean like less movement of the rubber around the wheel with a 35?

 

of all the colors in the universe they picked yellow...? eeeeeeew

 

It means the tire doesn't bend in the side wall as much, side to side since it's smaller distance from the outter edge of the wheel to the tread

 

I always refer to it as "Look at me yellow"

 

The yellow looked bad ass in person IMO. The truck was clean.

Ofcourse I see this on my way home from engage talking about what I want to do with the truck haha.

 

Keep the solid axle in the rear, IRS is more than work than it's worth (an no offense to Engage, but I think it'd be a little more engineering involved then what they're used too)

 

Hadn't planned on that route anyways. Just looked sick and made the wheels turn faster in my head lol. I decided to not go crazy with this Tacoma. Might do a simple SUA.

So I'm really considering building a tube chassis truck. Just picked up a score rules book and going to try to decide what class I want to build for

 

Go Sportsman/1450 (mpj2, Total Mayhem, and few others are all in these classes) but with an older Pickup or 1st Gen Taco and build that
