2002 tacoma race build

awww maaannnnn...... the canadian section?! really?! that was just a low blow hahaha. and 30 is a good guestimate number metal to metal with a whole lotta bind.... but it may be usable hahaha

 

if your not bindin, your not racin!

 

sooo true! hahaha. i will be stoked to see this thing when it is further along to see exactly what usable travel numbers ill realistically be looking at. cant fucking wait!

 

what do you think your going to get out back? like 22?

 

oh wayy more than that. i cant tell exactly what will be usable, but when the truck tipped forward (avitar pic), it cycled over 32" with no bad angle changes or serious plunge problems. its all in bumping and strapping now.

 

i was actually gonna say 28 but i dont really know realistic travel numbers with links so i did want to sound like a jackass

 

oh i dont have an idea just yet. once i get the front dialed i can make that call. i dont need 30" of rear travel with 17 in the front ya know....

 

exactly. alot of people that dont really know what they are talking about think links is the only way to do long travel out back..... or trailing arms as they say haha.

i always say links with 13 inches of travel up front is pointless.

 

you got it! i know i will have no less than 17 up front as i wont stop cutting and tacking until its right. so once i hit 17 up front and get it all dialed, ill go from there haha.

 

x2!
sorry late response, just started reading your build tonight

 

hahah no problem man!

update on the build... my shop is scheduled to be done and ready to work in by the 15th of march! i should be back under this thing and should be full swing back into it by april

 

Is your leg still busted?

That's good dude must be a son of a bitch trying to work when you're broken. I haven't broke a limb yet

 

i havnt broken much either, but i have ripped way to many tendons....god that sucks so bad i would rather break a bone

 

haha you say that now... i promise you after having over 100 screws and plates drilled into your bones... you wouldnt say that. hahaha.

 

yea it just sucks nuts all the way around. glad to be able to walk at all let alone in just over a year after the accident so all in all... its all good no matter what hahah.
