Long Travel BS Thread

I built my whole truck without a garage. If it was me, keep in mind I am a hillbilly, I would use a hi-lift to straighten things out, or a buddies winch, or a combination of the two, but you could always have an autobody shop straighten the frame too. I crashed my taco pretty good and did just that. Then I gusseted the shit out of everything and drove 6' chunks of tubing down the inside of the frame with a sledge hammer and built an engine cage with disposable tubes at the impact points so next time I just have to cut some tubing loose. You could always throw a strap around something solid (big ass tree, concrete pillar, boulder, your mom) then back up fast and pull things straight. Think about how the forces bent it, then reverse the forces.

Where'd you work out of? Thats badass, I'm open to anything
I thought about the high lift but I need to get a pulling force going straight downwards via the rack to twist it back... i could probably hi lift the lower arm mounts though, that's a good idea. Maybe if i can get it to drive straight i can put a strap up around that bolt then back up real fast and pull it down and back.
I'm going to give your build thread a good look, expect a few pm's haha

 

Btw heres more pics for everyones input / enjoyment depending on who you are haha

 

A trailer park 30 miles out in the desert North of Barstow. Not even a trailer park, as that implies 'lectricity and fancy stuff like pavement. More of a patch of sand with some RV's parked on it and some drunk dudes sitting around a burn barrel. Built my cage with hand or battery powered tools only, including the welder. Safety third!

 

think it would be easier to pickup a different tundra and reuse all the parts
theres a guy on DR that totaled his ranger and put all the parts on an expo
probably get a v6 tundra for under 5k

 

After going through insurance and buying it back?

 

they are still driving that bad boy home no trailer for it!!

build thread?

 

There is no build thread, it's "stock" lol.

Here is some stuff on it- http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2014/11/sema-video-toyota-tundra-baja-1000-race-truck.html

I like how they did the skid though.

 

Ball joint upper?

 

Thanks bud. Idk what happened but that was supposed to be build thread for the taco and they are still driving the tundra back home, they haven't trailered it.

 

It's a stock class truck. Can't change a ton on it

Yeah I believe it has to be stock upper/lower

 

So I took the taco for some testing yesterday, new kit is amazing!! So big difference!! Everything went well no surprises. Just that I was going around 90 mph on some big whoops and didn't saw a big turn hole and next to it a little sand mountain, so when I saw it tried to go up hill so the hill stopped the truck and my right rear tire stayed in the air causing the truck to not move lol. Fortunately a little raider passed by and gave us a little pull.





Truck calling for help lol
