Long Travel BS Thread

Finally put long travel on my Tacoma, all I need is a new alignment right?

 

Ryans truck is badass! wish i could afford the camburg race kit. hopefully mine will have the looks of his with the cage in the rear. there used to be the maroon double cab 4x4 in ABQ with a camburg kit and SUA rear end. cleanest first gen taco i have ever seen, but he sold it and don't know where it went. ryans truck is on page 98 of the "long travel toyota gallery" on here. idk where the picture i have saved of it went

 

I want to say the answer is no, but does anyone know if 1st gen tundra spindles will work on a 2nd gen tacoma? They look similar and someones selling a cheap set already gussetted.

 

They won't work

 

So I felt a thud while stopped at a light today, then a spattering/clicking sound was coming from the engine, sound changed when rpms changed. Sound is gone now but idles rough, high Rpms are fine. Codes are random misfire and misfire cylinders 2 and 3. I changed the fuel filter recently, was thinking water got into the side without Teflon tape and into the system since its been raining. Any ideas??

 

Check your plugs.

 

When I got those codes my cylinder head was done. Like the other guy said, check your plugs. You can also switch plug boots to see if one in particular is messed up. If all that doesn't work then do a compression test on your cylinders. I had one cylinder at 50psi so it was easy to diagnose from there.

 

What should I look for with the plugs? Like I said it was a sudden thud. I don't thin one in particular is messed up because it changes between cylinders... Hope it's not the cylinder head at 120k miles..

 

Also it intermittently makes a rattling clicking somund. Could be a valve sticking?

 

Look for discoloration between the plugs. A heavily fouled plug might point you to the problem if the others are normal. This is just from my own engine issue. Multiple cylinder misfire could be a lot of things but checking plugs, plug wires, then compression should shed some light on the issue.

 

Ya I think I know that white 1st gen too. Never met him before but saw it driving around town a long time ago.

 

Lost a cylinder on my Triumph Sprint 1050 once, turns out I accidentally disconnected one of the fuel injectors, or rather bumped it so it partially disconnected and kept engaging and disengaging until one day as I was getting on it merging onto the freeway, feel a huge THUNK in the bike and suddenly I'm riding a two stoke lol. couldn't figure out what happened, the very nice shop guy only charged me for the Code read and half hour of labor lol. (To remove tank and plug in the injector lol)

 

well i hit enough whoops to get my fill for a while... links ftmfw

 

Thanks for meeting up with me to hand off those spindles. My little truck will be back in action after I get these gusseted.

 

Glad to help

 

Omg epic

 

HELL YES. This restores my faith in 2nd gen Tacoma owners.

NEED VIDEO.
