Long Travel BS Thread

Its always a cycle with the social websites. Someday, soon, TW will be the top and Tacomas will be EVERYWHERE

 

that's pretty cool, but i still refuse

 

It isnt a bandwagon if you started out that way and never left. Its a life choice.

Agreed

 

Truck will be pretty much done tomorrow so excited!!

Front kit came back from powdercoat late today. Only thing not going on is the cross bracing between the shock towers. Shop is waiting on a few clevis's they ordered that haven't came in. There is a lateral support that ties the towers together that uns under the bed so that will do for a few days.





Eddie's kit being put together

 

He is an artist. I like how every joint has room to weld 360*. Nice work!

 

Looks bitchin Matt!

 

You should contact Tacorunner87, Chris. He has all the tools and he's experienced when it comes to shocks. Just provide him with all the parts and he'll do everything in his garage. I don't want to quote you on his prices since it's his business but it was EXTREMELY reasonable. I think he lives in Chino.

This article might help too. Different shocks but same idea.

You can also contact McKenzies in Anaheim. One of the guys that works there does it on the side.

 

Hmmm...

 

Lembowski - would that kit be available to gen pop? I see a jig for that lca

 

hey guys dont have a LT truck here, but do have 2 King dual rate coils 600lbs spring rating, and 2 king dual rate 500LBS spring rating. Just wondering if you guys could tell me a reasonable amount to ask for.
Edit: its all lightly used

 

Its a pretty wide range that they sell for used. I have seen anywhere from $40 to $100 for a pair in good condition. King sells their used springs for $120 a pair.

 

cool thanks! so do you think asking for a trade for some eibachs for 5100's would be reasonable?

 

Yep from what I have heard the king springs are just blue eibachs.

 

Sweet thanks. guess ill see if anyone wants to trade

 

That thing is sexy Matt.

 

Anyone on here been through a few sets of motor mounts yet?
Are the stock ones sufficient?

I think mine are going bad, going to check tomorrow. Feels like someone installed a high powered vibrator in my truck.

 

They they are starting to mass produce. The machine shop they use has been quite slow to get some parts back to them. UCA's for the kits are done and powdercoated. Now that they have machined parts in for a few more LCA's will start rolling out so complete kits should be ready for the public before you know it.
