ZONA Motorsports 2WD Tacoma Custom Long Travel Kit Build

So I recently decided that I wanted to take off my current setup and pull the trigger on a legit Long Travel kit. I started researching the different available kits out there and stumbled across a Fabrication shop in Tucson, AZ called ZONA Motorsports (formerly Dirty B Fabwerx) that currently specializes in Chevy Truck Long Travel kits. They had a Tacoma Long Travel kit, but its design is currently being updated.

So I am now working with ZONA Motorsports (formerly Dirty B Fabwerx) on an updated version of his Long Travel kit and thought I would share the progress here for anybody else that may be interested.

These below pictures are his original design, the UCAs and Spindle design are currently being updated for strength and a cleaner look. I'll share updates as I get them and post pictures of the install and testing.

 

Here are the updated UCAs and Spindles

 

nice dude. Solidworks?

 

Why move from a double shear to single shear UCA pivot?

 

Is the bump stop touching at ride hight?

 

I'm not sure what he's using to draw it up.

 

I'm not sure what he has in mind for the pivots. He's still making changes to the kit. He did mention that he wanted to change the pivot points for the UCAs

 

The kit isn't installed yet. Was just sharing the build progress.

 

I was referencing the kit they have for the chevy but you deleted the picture

 

Ah, my bad. I posted those to show their label plate. I just removed it so I don't accidentally confuse people. He builds alot of Chevy LT kits.

 

You know of any tacoma guys who are running their kit?

 

I personally don't. I've only seen one Tacoma on his Instagram.

I just messaged you on Insta also

 

The original looks single shear like a stock style replacement and UCA the new renderings are double shear or at least how I know what they are. The upper looks similar to the LSK kit.


Oh wait I just looked at it more closely that is weird looks like a full custom mount would be needed for the frame side. Interesting. Not sure how well that vertical orientation would work.

 

The rendering doesn't show the heimed rod ends in the uca and the vertical uniball at the uca / spindle pivot joint won't limit up travel as soon.

 

Yeah, there are still updates being made to the overall design of the kit. I just wanted to share progress as it happens. He did tell me he's customizing the frame mounts for the UCAs. I haven't seen the rendering yet.

 

King Coilovers and secondary triple bypasses ordered today.

 

I wonder of they need help finishing the project

 

Welding of the kit has begun!

 

do u know if this company still sells their 5 lug kit? I've seen the one they built on their FB page, with living in Az it peaks my interest

 

Hmm, I wouldn’t know man. But shoot Bobby a message through Instagram. He’d be the better person to ask. He’s very responsive.
