5 lug long travel baby truck build

Sheared off from jumping a curb? Did you smack tire sidewall hard or something? No offense I'd just be hot from that damage after spending the bones for LT, worries me

 

Yea it sucks but i'm not worried too much. Under 3k for a LT kit is pretty cheap compared to what guys are paying for other kits. This is just part of the snowball effect of having long travel.

Tacoma frames are super thin and need plating. So this just gives me the chance to reinforce the frame and make stronger mounts. I've already have new uca mounts and gussets made of 3/16" ready to go on. I had an engineer at work over look it. I'm gonna give JD a call Monday and see what they think.

 

To make things worse I had just got the new carpet in and ordered new McNeil 6" fenders

 

Did the new fenders get ruined?

Time for a cross brace on the UCA / coilover towers it looks like

 

The new fenders I had ordered 2 days before this happened.

The shock towers have a cross brace but I'm going to do an engine cage now and new shock tower/mounts

 

Picked up my 6" mcneil fenders. Big difference over the 3" fenders

 

What kind of offset? And what size wheels and tires? Lift kit?
