Long Travel BS Thread

doesnt engage have the whole front end of a taco for mock up at their shop?

 

doesnt mean they fit each part on the mock up truck after pulling them out of the jig. also every truck is just a little different.

 

true.
i just dont get how they are always off if they have the front end of a taco in their shop and a jig?

and yeah everytruck is a little different... especially after its been romped haha

 

Haha it was as easy as getting on the stock LCA, any one has pics of their UCA with heims on how they bolted it?

 

Looks like it has the correct measurement, didn't knew that about the paint, btw I was thinking on painting LCA and UCA black or blue before installing them. Not a big fan of grey in my truck.

Opened up a little the UCA so now they are in place.

 

What limit strap brand should I get?

 

id get the 6 ply ones from trail gear.
i had the 4 ply ones and i went through those like a fat kid goes through chocolate cake

 

Trailgear.com sells pretty nice layered straps. You are pretty much safe with any brand like kartek, poly performance, dj safety, ect.

 

The kit came with kartek but I want to buy better ones

 

I have kartek and they are fine.

 

Kartek or SDHQs are both quad wrapped which is susally planty for a truck the weight of ours. Trail Gears are 6 wraps so a little more HD. I run a single quad wrapped SDHQ strap per side up front and dual SDHQ straps in the back since the 9" is so much heavier than factory

 

i would just have them powder coated black if you don't like the grey, I'm pretty sure engage just uses spray paint haha i had my kit, spindles, steering, front bumper, rear bumper and my big ass bed cage done all for 400 including a clear coat after it looks super clean I'm sure ur kit and links you could have done for just over 100 bucks

 

i blew threw 1 kartek one, almost 2, and 1 sdhq.
i upgraded to the 6 ply straps from trail gear and they are BEEF

 

Progress Pics on the Tacoma. Should be running this weekend and driving again next weekend. Willis Fab Worx is doing an awesome job finishing up some of the details I wanted. Trying a few things I havent seen on a 2nd gen yet.

Yeah cuz you barely offroad haha only highway miles right

Powder coating black and clear on LCA, UCA and links before getting links on

Absolutely getting those trail gear straps

 

This excited me in my crotchuler region.

 

It's looking good man. So far one of the nicest 2nd gens.
