Long Travel BS Thread

They are nice 14's now i need 16 or18's

What's going on there with the exhaust?
Is it routed up and over the frame and dumped out the side?

Dumps out side of fenders with stainless trim and tip flush. pic later

[QUOTE=jberry Also, it looks like a work in progress, but I would definitely suggest gusseting and plating up the frame on the main spring hanger. Having it just welded to the bottom of our frames is a bad day waiting to happen.



Agreed will be adding gussets to spring hangers.

 

On the factory valve, just make a metal tab or adjustable to set that proportioning arm to its up most position you will get the braking needed for the rears test drive and adjust as needed. I'll get a pic of what I am doing for that. And spend 70 bills on other bling

 

I did that too, I ziptied mine in the fully compressed position. But like I said at MAX the stock one only lets 37% through, the aftermarket allows you to get more. If you get fancy with the brake lines you can put the controller in the cab and adjust on the fly

 

JD, i know you've posted it a million times but can you post the link again to the valve you're running?

 

That set up is awesome! Why dont we see any tacoma's like that?

 

you do, just gotta look:

Engage 1st Gen Tacoma Cantilever:

 

They are out there just not many people run them because on 2nd gens the bed cages still leave most of the bed anyway. Plus to do cantilever takes quite a bit of fab which means more cash. Heres one on a first gen...

here is a very good "poportioning valve" or also know as a 'Brake Bias Valve" that is in-expensive and reliable

You need to at least get these, Tacomas are not 1/8" NPT fittings (Toyota uses 10x1.0 inverted flare), they will fit but not exact and I saw threads on some people that had theirs leak without the correct adapters
