Long Travel BS Thread

theres no way 1st and 2nd gen mounting points are the same for the seats

 

and like i said earlier, corbeau may be the only company making 2nd gen brackets

I saw that I am not sure if the PRP's will bolt up to that...

 

Hey if you look the 06+ FJ Cruiser has the same part numbers as the 05+ tacoma... Which means the FJ cruiser mounts that PRP makes will fit mine...

 

weld tabs, bam done

 

Not sure how im going to strengthen the outsides...

No, I didn't weld that rusty top plate on like that lol.

the coilover is in the way. I need to support the outside some how

 

Why? All i see your missing is the inner anlge piece talked about yesterday..otherwise looks very similar to a lot of other bed cages i have seen..

I guess you it you HAVE to take a piece from the out side and back down to the frame?

 

Just weld that rusty boomerang there.. That should strengthen it

 

is this kind of bump steer normal? and if it isnt, how can I get rid of it? my guess is that when the arm compresses, the tie rod swings upwards and closer to the rack, toeing the tire in. but why isn't it doing it at droop too? its a total chaos full uniball kit

 

Are they toed in a little at ride height? I'm guessing they don't toe at droop because at full droop is where the tie-rods even up with the arms.

 

if you dont have double sheered tie rod mounts, then you can use bump steer spacers. There are a lot of write ups on how to measure and correct bumpsteer.

 

theyre double shear, the heim fits perfectly into the spindle and a bolt runs through that. any other ideas?

 

yea. cut the shears off and weld them to the correct position. I've seen it done a some kits in person and it got rid of the bump steer. A Failgage kit with Solo spindles from bumpsteer to clean travel in an afternoon.

 

yeah i guess that's always an option, kinda weird that tc would make a kit with bumpsteer like that so I assumed it was an error in how its set up. It doesnt feel too bad though steering wise, I wouldn't have guessed until i saw pictures. should be fine once i move to coil overs and can lower the ride height and align from there. thanks guys

 

Might wanna have the front end done proper before blaming parts from the company. Any time I've come across a tc product they have been top notch. In my previous use of their product, when bumped and strapped as recommended, it performed as advertised. Get the front end out together the way it needs to be before you go cutting into a perfectly good set of spindles. If you want to push the numbers, you end up with adverse effects.

 

i miss my old truck haha
