Betsy the Long Travel Expedition Tacoma Build

Post #12 has that whole thread figured out.

given those issues we took things like this into account for the new design with using limit straps and limiting the up travel properly with stock bumpstops or the nice Timbren bumps. All this is cherry but it depends on how the end user has it set-up

The limit straps should be set to stop the lower arm before the CV's bind. I say before because under load of a heavy tire they stretch slightly and could bind up the axles as you could imagine.

Edit: As far as the uniball cup issues go. these are the same FK bearing AIN(T) series sphericals and CP cups that the industry uses... all things wear out differently under different circumstances. These require maintenance.

as far as the warranty issues, thats not my problem. I was just made aware of the problems of the old kit and resolved them the best I could. Hopefully this new kit will breathe new life into the all-pro LT.

 

@XJfella95 do you know if the new kit can be used with a airbump?

 

Looking good Jason!

 

Thanks dude! Got it figured out. Also, what hood brackets are you using for your duellys? Thanks.

 

Been on this build page few times now for some ideas, forgot to sub till now

 

I'm using the Relentless Fabrication ones

@doreydeluxe

 

Thought i was sub'd to this... Am for sure now! Sweet truck. Really like the red and your pictures are great!

 

an airbump and bucket should work with the new lowers, you'll just have to hack the old stock bump mounts off and orient your airbumps to hit the same area on the LCA

 

Awesome thank you!! Just was I was hoping to hear.

 

My new adventure series video trailer is now up and live! Follow @alteregoadventure on instagram for trip reports, video recaps, and swag coming soon! Much more to come in 2016 ‪#‎alteregoadventure‬

 

Badass! Can't wait for more!

 

Subd for adventures and camp setups. Nice rig, would love to see camp gear too.

 

Very nice looking rig, i like the "camper specials"

 

yep another build im following.

 

Got around to installing my rock lights finally. They've been sitting in the garage before LT was

The rock lights are from Lux Lighting. They output seems pretty good so far, we'll have to see on the trail. I have a feeling I may add in a few more. The awesome thing about these lights is that they attached with high intensity magnets so I can move them to get optimal lighting! If your interested in them you can find more info here: http://bit.ly/luxrocklights


Don't mind the angled photo, Tried to make it straight but then the neighborhood watch sign was crooked... ocd... I will get some real photos next trip out in February.

 

Dig the build man and the color ill be there one day.

 

Photos from a few weeks back, i'm just getting around to uploading them to the build now. Next trip coming in another few weeks





Didn't quite get the focus like I wanted with these but there still cool enough to share

 

I wanna see more... Is it time to go camping yet?

 

Seriously. The next two weeks is taking forever to get past LOL. We have to do every other weekend to feed my addiction

 

Agreed.... Really need an alignment. Was hoping to get the washers for my LCAs this weekend but havent gotten them yet. I email tracy this morning. Also going to paint my skids bronze and do some rust elimination work and repainting of the frame.
