Idaho BS thread in the PNW

There ya go. Im probly sitting pretty close to what you are with my 265's

 

Except when you consider the BB skid does not fit flush up against the tcase. There is a least a .5" gap.

Frame to ground at the rear spring hanger is 19". At the point the frame curves inward on the front it measures 18.5"

Where are you boys measuring from?

edit: rear spring

 

You will find that it varies quite a bit depending on where you measure from

 

x2

 

I measure in four places. About where the front of spring hanger is on the rear and about where the front end of the slider is welded to the frame. Both frame rails.

If your truck has taco lean, it will show up. If you have rake or bro lean, it will show up in your measurements.

For example, mine:


Driver side Passenger side

Front 18.4" 18.6"

Rear 18.9" 19.0"

 

Not tonight but very recently. I keep a history of these things.

 

DAMN!

i need to swap my new filter in..and new oil filter too.

i forgot man sorry. I'll do it today

yea mine will be very different with the rake i have.

Ill do front of frame. door side. rear frame and cross member.

 

Alright.

From cross member im at 16 9/16s

Front of frame before it toes inwards im at 19.5

driver side door im at 20.5

about an inch or two before the rear spring hanger im a 21.5



so that was a lot more then i was thinking it would be.

 

Had an awesome day wheeling in Shelly yesterday!! I really pushed my Taco hard! For the most part I kept up with a Jeep on 37's! Mostly. haha. I definitely bypassed a few things he did and he wasn't trying to push his rig too hard since he hasn't owned it very long. Working on some pics now. Don't have many though since I didn't have Cameron or Ben with me and I just had my phone. If I had had my rear bumper and skids, I probably would have tried to follow that Jeep the whole way but as you will see in the pics, my rear bumper kept holding me up bad... So much scraping... haha

 

y not remove it???

 

I was able to just push it right back into place pretty easily. Well mostly back into place. To some degree is is still protecting my backend and I should be going to Colorado in a couple weeks to get my HC rear bumper. Plus I already don't have a front plate. Don't want to have to use magnets or wires to hang my rear plate. haha

 

Isnt ID a front and back plate state??

 

Yep. haha

 

So is Wy lol Took about 6-7 months till i go pulled over.

I just keep it in the windsheild now.


and yea Ben..once you and Mike posted numbers i didn't think mine would be that much higher.

 

Yea and my rear lift. I have more then you and mike by quite a bit.

and stretch the legs of the tacoma lol..not even possible haha

 

Whats your guy's front hub center to wheel well? And front ground to wheel well?

 

Rather than filling this thread up with all the pics, I just update my build thread with my wheeling trip yesterday.
