Long Travel BS Thread

Yup. Weld it just like the above pic.

 

you're going to lose about 2 inches of up travel though.

 

Those are from the Truck Shop. They have a set sitting in the show room for sale.

 

Any idea what they run for a set?

 

correct me if im wrong but arent first gen 5spd's suppose to be more torquier than autos?
reason i ask is because i drove a 5spd today and it felt nothing like my auto

both trucks are the exactly the same 3.4 4x4 trd.. mine had 33's this one had 31's?

mine was limited but im sure that didnt have anything to do with it?
just a random question

 

The 5 spd in the 1st gen is geared quite a bit lower than the 4 spd auto so that could be why. Same could be same for the 2nd gen manual vs auto I imagine but the difference is much smaller.

 

No slush box in between so ueah its gunna feel torquier, plus bigger tires will make it feel worse as well

 

yea felt like it, the guy even let me get on it felt nothing like a v6.. well atleast what i was use to

 

1st gen Auto
1st Gear 2.80
2nd Gear 1.53
3rd Gear 1.00
4th Gear 0.71

1st gen Manual
1st Gear 3.83
2nd Gear 2.06
3rd Gear 1.44
4th Gear 1.00
5th Gear 0.84

1st gears are a whole turn different! After that they kind of line up if you through out the 2nd gear in the manual. ie 2nd in auto is like 3rd in manual and so on) but the feel will still be different.

 

didnt you sell yours? lol

 

exactly why im shopping around for another truck

 

gonna start stock?? why did you sell yours??

 

my truck had 250k so i wanted something with lower miles, preferably an 01 since i like that front end more.. and yea most likely stock from some old man whos taken care of it and not beaten on it ya know?

 

Just called the shop, he said $40. Didn't seem firm so you may want to call them, just ask for James.

 

This guy lives down the street from me.. went to go look at it today, clean truck but i dont think its worth 13k?
nothing is gusseted.. just has a kit and cut and pulled bedsides, 35's and a 6in body lift.
i would take out that body lift..

I'd pass. I payed 13k for my 05 trd offroad @70k miles. Not a 4x4 and no mods when I got it but still.

 

Didn't even make him an offer, just said I'd think about it.. I'd pick it up if he dropped the price

That guy wanted to trade for my truck, saw it in person. Paint job is shitty, interior is gross and wrecked haha the front end on the passenger side looks like it's running metal to metal with something there's like a notch or slit on the lower arms.. The dude said it's suppose to be like that haha

 

The seats are super swag'd.
