n0rth's Tacoma build

Thanks for the input this gives weight to just doing the relocation now. What bump stops are you running and how did you limit it?

The pelfrey kit is nice and expensive, I actually like the BAMF kit more its got a better price and looks stout when comparing them.

I wish I could do 2.0 smoothie kings valved for the truck but that would be pretty spendy so it will probably be the B110's for now with the BAMF kit as a compromise and add the kings later?

 

I splurged on the pelfreybilt kit becuase I wanted to run that hydro bump setup the way he's got it integrated into the frame reinforcement plate. Having the hydro bumps was important to me to be able to better control the bottoming out of all the weight i've got in the rear. Keep an eye on how it works out for me i'll be plenty honest.

 

I got a bit creative...
I'm running the timbren rear bumps and shortened the uptravel by mounting hockey pucks on the stock bump strike w/ grade 8 bolts.
It's redneck but it gets the job done.

 

Do you have any up travel? haha. My timbrens kill me, they seem to be too tall already... I need more lift though...

 

Awesome, that will be a sweet set-up curious to see what you think of it.

Nice, Homerpucks......

I think we're going to Pocatello for Thanksgiving are you going to be around?



I'm gonna go for it and get a set of 12" King 2.0 Smoothies with the BAMF shock relocation kit and see how it turns out with the ATO shackle flip that should finish out the rear of the truck for a while.

 

Shoot... I'm not sure how much I will be around. I should have that whole week off but that just means I may spend a lot of it at the In-laws over by Twin Falls...

If you come over let me know. I'm sure we could swing at least one wheeling trip

 

Homer knows where it's at! I'm using pucks at the moment too

 

odd how you had to limit it so much...

i had this much left when i was doing this....




with my shortened wheelers bumps


wheelers were shortened about 3/4" mounted on a ~ 1 1/2" mount

i'll have to take some more pics of the tires under full stuff

 

I'll let you know, Brant said he was going to be out of town as well maybe it'll be a short trip.

 

ahh you guys mount that way...my mount i have it on is shorter than the one wheeler sells, but it is taller than a hockey puck

 

I figure that my timbrens will need to be cut down with the set-up I have planned.

 

just have to keep an eye on the clearance between the shock bodies and the tires with the relocation kits..

jandrews had that issue with his setup, but i think he went with 2.5's

and i think jerry even says with his, you need 4.5 or less of BS with 285s...not sure how that will work out with your tire setup.. i know you're skinnier but more back spacing..

 

bring the hacksaw with you wheeling..i cut mine in moab at BFE when we first got there in '12

 

Gonna be a slick setup JW.

Any plans for the front eventually too?

 

That's one of the reasons I plan to go with a non resi shock so I can flip the shock and shave the mount if needed. I'm a little nervous about how it will all come together but I think I can make it work.

 

Not to crap up ypur build thread with my pics but here is what my setup will do:



Original ATO flip w/ 2013 stock 3leaf pack and wheelers progressive 3leaf AAL.

Budget for sure, but im happy.

 

I hope so, for the front maybe a new set of coilovers possibly or might just stick with what I got for the time being.

 

You guys post up all the pics you want, this has been a good day to figure out the rear set-up on the truck.

 

No +2 LT kit

 

No LT for the truck, if anything I want to see the IFS go away.....
