Long Travel BS Thread

is that the truck RJ was looking at?

 

nope RJ was looking at the plastidipped red truck from a few pages back

 

Pretty nice, But I have my heart set on links.

 

Did someone say links?

 

win!

 

I'm gonna need a cigarette after seeing that...

 

LOL, best part is if you look at that rear shot, the limit strap isn't even tight yet. It had more room to go...

Might as well finish the collection I suppose. LOL









DEAVER!!!!

 

A thing of beauty!!!

 

Deaver spring sticker on a linked truck.. lol

 

Deaver coil springs duh

 

Me like... Love the front bumper. U make?

 

So many people were so butt hurt that I was too lazy to pull the deaver sticker off when I linked it. I remember a picture of it got posted on that lame prerunner facebook page that just reposts every single photo they can find online... A ton of people talked shit on the truck cause of a sticker. This was my reply...



Anyone that knows me knows I really really really dgaf what it looks like, it's about having fun and I've got better things to do then peel off stickers just cause they don't match my current situation. So that was the quick easy fix to shut people up. LOL

Only reason it's not still like that is I finally cleaned it up, painted it, and peeled off all the stickers since it's for sale. If it wasn't for sale, the skid would still look like the picture above.

Only things on the truck not built be me is the front suspension kit (MCM Fab) and the lower links. (Not sure who's lowers they are, I bought them in a parking lot in Pahrump Nv. I made the shock mounts on them though, they were just bare links when I got them.)

 

What are you opinions on these three products to get me started on a fuel cell set up?

RCI 20 Gallon aluminum cell with foam and sending unit:

I couldnt find any other aluminum or steel fuel cell on Summit Racing that included the fuel sending unit and was over 20 gallons, even though I prefer a fuel cell that is 32 gallons.

 

I would get a 32 gallon, and the kit you posted is for a carb motor

 

just texted you aaron

 

I don't know what the OE stuff looks like on your generation of tacoma fuel tank but I've used the setup off the '04 and just cut a hole right in the top of a 32 gallon cell, made my own gasket, and bolted it in. I bought some super expensive fuel line from napa that's like $30/foot but 3 years later still looks like it did day one with no deterioration at all. I was able to cut the hanging mount for the inside tank pump and simple extend it by welding on a strap of steel and then the new length of hose to make up the gap. On the sending unit, run your stock one and just know E is like 1/2 a tank or simply extend it as well with a small diameter welding rod and a couple tacks. It should still float just fine. Saves you a TON of cash and I've never had any good luck on external pumps. They vacuum lock really easy and they don't suck really well. I've tried the kartek pump, the e2000 pump from like autozone and some of the super high dollar ones! The OE pump inside the tank is what I've had the best results with. In fact I've never had an issue other then a bad solder joint that was my fault when I extended the wiring harness. I've done this on both my truck and the TPF race truck.

didnt see baja designs had a new LED bar series out. This has me interested in going LED again. Farthest projecting LEDs on the market, or atleast they claim. looks impressive to me.

XPG Stealth vs new OnX

 

Chino and I did the same thing to his 96-04 too
