Long Travel BS Thread

Bigger spacer... more leverage... its up to you and how wide you want your track width to be, what you want tire wear to look like, how hard you want to be on your bearings and seals, etc. everyone says 1.5" and they have wider kits than you,so its more than likely unnecessary.

 

I heard someone say zzr makes good shit

 

Fuck ZZR lol. I gave him one last shot like two months ago...asked him to weld together a BAMF shock tower kit...and 'said' I wanted him to do the fab work to the truck...he sat on the kit for a month...told me it was done and ready for install...I kept asking for pic's of the finished towers...he kept asking why and then just not responding...I finally drove down to pick up the finished kits and was just gonna pay the difference(BAMF kit welded vs. unwelded) he literally avoided me at his own house for like 20 minutes and then when I finally cornered him asking for the kits he gets super pissy and basically throws my backpack(with the untouched kit) at me and says goodbye. He was angry because I hadn't payed him at all...I just kept asking him what he wanted to be paid for...for storing some metal lol??? Then he kept insisting he could weld up the kit in 30-45 minutes...

My favorite line was when I said "Zip, what have you done so far" "I've almost got it tacked up"..."Wait, you have it tacked or you don't?"..."Well, almost, it'll only take me like half an hour to get it all done"...

Buh-bye...I realize he's a shitty garage fab, but hey...I try to support local fabricators. But fuck man, he just digs himself a hole endlessly.

 

x3

 

U r prolly better off not have his welds on something important!!!

 

Well, I mean, I totally realize that now...I gave him a last shot and he completely blew it...sooooo hey whatever...I gave another, better, fabricator the business and I'm nothing but happy with Jason's work.

 

In the spindle or the threads?

 

Have you been hitting the sides of the spindle around the rod end?

 

must suck not to have anything better to do than troll on the internet.. what a sad life.

anyways... spindles anyone?

 

Nah just get bored when my truck is getting caged think my life is pretty good right about now

 

I rest my case... lol

 

does that mean youll finally drive it ?

or as cory said "compress the rear bypasses"

 

Haha with a new rear bumper, a spare, and a jack I think the bypasses will compress
Edit: oh wait let me specify the rear bypasses I now have 2 sets

 

So much

 

disregard

 

Debatable

 

Get those 300$ ones while you are in sd

 

A little late in getting this done and sorry I can't seem to be able to figure out how to embed but 6 months later here's a little video put together from our first race at the HDRA South Point race in January. Ended up moving from DC to England about 60 days after the race so have been a bit tied up trying to get through all that but hope to get back to the truck one more time this year.

Huge thanks to Matt at MCM Fab for building an amazing front kit that took everything we could throw at it without missing a beat. I sold the Camburg LT kit off my truck and replaced it with Matt's Tacoma Race Kit and I couldn't be happier!

Yep, get 2 equally BMFH & "ping" it off , hitting it on 2 sides w/2 hammers at the same time will free it from spindle (if thats where its stuck)

 

Bad ass video! I would hate to have TT's coming up on my ass like that haha. Definitely some air time and definitely some close calls!
