TOTAL CHAOS | Feedback, Pics, Product Info, *ANYTHING TC RELATED*

@TOTAL CHAOS
Questions about suspension setup. I’ve seen Kings explode in popularity over the past three years. When I called Sdhq and wanted more info they said they’re pretty much all built the same but Icons will get you better on-road performance. Any thoughts?
I’m looking at your expedition series LT kit and curious as to benefits of suspension brands. I see King and Fox on your website and your’e running Elka on your 2nd Gen. Thoughts please.

Thank you!!

 

In our opinion King, Fox, Elka, and Radflo work best with our needs and suspension systems. There is a reason we work with those companies and put their products on our personal vehicles and recommend them to our customers.

@TOTAL CHAOS, more pics and in-depth info on Rusty please! What size KM3 are they exactly? What was needed to fit them comfortably while wheeling? That truck’s setup would be my ideal setup.

Thank you!

 

the tires are 315/75R/16's (35"). we used our TC Weld On Body Mount Chop kit (https://www.chaosfab.com/accessories/2016-2020-Tacoma-Weld-On-Body-Mount-Chop-Plates-59850) and a LOT of trimming and they still rub a bit. 35" is a big tire for this vehicle.

We're stoked to see friends out and about...

I am currently maintaining my upper and lower control arms. And the lower once already have seen a few rocks and start rusting (surface rust) on some spots. Now I wanted to touch these spots up with some paint and was wondering if someone already did some testing with normal store bought paint and can recommend a good color matching paint.

Thanks

TC @fkrodends 1" Uniball Guts - What makes the TOTAL CHAOS uniball conversion custom to our suspension?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Uniball cup angle is moved to correct the caster that is lost with aftermarket lift kits on many model vehicles. The added caster reduces the darting or wandering in the vehicles steering and helps retain the factory alignment specifications. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Uniballs feature a heat-treated stainless-steel ball & heat-treated stainless-steel race for maximum corrosion resistance and component longevity. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Uniballs also feature a military grade PTFE woven fabric liner that helps prevent noise and reduce maintenance.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

TC tapered spindle adapters will convert the factory ball joint to a 1" uniball for easy installation.⁣⁣⁣

Gen 1 Toyota Tacoma Off Road Lift Kits and Accessories

The 1996-2004 1st Gen Tacoma is still one of the most well regarded vehicles to this day. Just look at the prices for one of these Tacoma trucks in good condition. The 1996-2004 Gen 1 Toyota Tacoma offers the simplicity and reliability to make an excellent platform for daily driving, overlanding, desert racing, and everything in between.


Why install TOTAL CHAOS suspension? Reliable and dependable off road equipment matters. Performance suspension upgrades add lift and reliability, and performance shocks have more precise valving and spring rates than factory shocks. When you combine the two, you add comfort and reliability when rock crawling through boulders, overland exploring with the family, pre-running through the desert or carving it up in the sand dunes. TOTAL CHAOS Gen 1 Tacoma lift kit packages improve ride quality on and off road.







There are many reasons you might want to add performance suspension upgrades as your lift kit to your Toyota Tacoma. Here are just a few:

More wheel travel. TOTAL CHAOS upper control arms (UCA’s) and long travel kits are designed to provide the maximum wheel travel when paired with aftermarket specific extended length coil-over shocks. More wheel travel allows your tires to remain in contact with the terrain flowing over obstacles more easily – added wheel travel helps control the vehicle at high speed, and at low speed during technical rock crawling.

Improved ride quality. Urethane bushings pivot freely on upper and lower control arms and do not deflect like a rubber bushing. This deflection can cause more body roll or a sloppy steering feel when driving on and off road. Urethane pivot bushings tighten the steering response for better overall handling and control when driving on and off road.

Increased ground clearance. Performance lit kits are one of the best upgrades you can make for your Gen 1 Tacoma to go off road. They also allow you to fit larger tires, up to a 285/70R17 or 33-inch tall tire, with no rubbing. Added ground clearance will allow you crawl over obstacles on the trail. To achieve optimum performance, tires must be mounted on wheels with the appropriate backspacing. Bigger tires provide more ground clearance and make bumps effectively smaller when you encounter them.






Go off-road in your Gen 1 Tacoma. The Gen 1 Toyota Tacoma was designed as a utilitarian truck but it is full of off-road potential for desert prerunning, overlanding, desert racing, rock crawling, or all of the above. Upgrading your suspension with more than just a lift kit will transform your Tacoma from a rough riding pickup into a capable off-roader that can soak up any terrain without crashing into the bump stops off road. You can expect improved handing, more ground clearance and better trail performance when you add TOTAL CHAOS suspension components to your lifted Toyota Tacoma. We are the Toyota experts for truck and SUV performance with decades of hands on experience and knowledge.


Suspension Packages – Gen 1 Toyota Tacoma Lifts Kits To Install Larger Tires

TOTAL CHAOS suspension packages allow you to lift your 1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma 2.5-4 inches and turn it into a truly capable off-road vehicle built on comfort and reliability.

The mid travel lift kit options offer 2-3-inches of lift and include stock length replacement upper control arms and stock length replacement lower control arms for your front suspension – a 2.5-inch diameter shock upgrade is also added that will allow you to install up to 33” tires.







TOTAL CHAOS also manufacturers a bolt-on 3.5-inch wider long travel kit for off-road trail performance. The kit provides 3-4-inches of lift and features dual shock tabs on the lower control arms to maximize dampening control with dual shock capability. This suspension system includes 3.5” longer upper and lower control arms, limit straps, extended tie-rods & brake lines, and all mounting hardware. 3.5” extended axles (to retain 4WD) and TC custom length long travel shocks must be installed with this long travel suspension package. We have collaborated with KING, RadFlo, FOX, and ADS Shocks to develop custom length 2.5-inch long travel shocks for this specific performance suspension system.







TOAL CHAOS offers several weld-on accessories to make your Gen 1 Toyota Tacoma an extremely reliable and dependable rig for the trails. Weld-on spindle gussets, lower control arm cam tab gussets, and steering rack bushings are just a few of the accessory upgrades that we offer to provide added protection and durability. One of the best upgrades for the 1st Gen Tacoma is our lower uniball conversions. Due to their design, factory lower ball joint failure on 1996-2004 Tacomas can be catastrophic (see image below). Our lower uniball conversion solves this problem and is compatible with either OEM Toyota lower control arms or TOTAL CHAOS lower control arms (stock length and long travel). Two versions are available based on your steering setup – factory tie-rods or TOTAL CHAOS heim steering conversion.






TOTAL CHAOS has passion for performance.

At TOTAL CHAOS we personally test our products in the harshest of conditions. Our vehicles are being driven every day whether to and from work or to and from the trail. We are passionate off roaders and manufacture dependable suspension upgrades that are designed to make your vehicle handle better on and off road.
