2003 Long Travel Double Cab 4x4LongWeiney

Christmas came early. The Deka batteries are the same exact thing as an Odyssey pc680 or Braille 2015 but are cheaper and available at Lowes.

Also got new corner lights since mine are broken like every other Tacoma, terminals for the batteries, a super sick bulkhead weather pack plug to run wire cleanly into the cab, and another bulkhead connector to run battery power into the cab for my blue sea fuse block.

 

Don at Good Knight Racing assembled my 9" third member for me. Dropped all the parts off yesterday and I picked it up 24 hours later. Couldn't be happier.

 

Mother of God

 

The real surprise is that I am able to lift it by myself.

 

So are you planning on competing with this rig because you are going ham?

 

Nah, just a nice built toy with strong parts that I don't have to worry about.

 

So did you sell that red truck you had?

 

Nope, still got it. Just broke 50k miles on it last week, and am a few months from having it paid off.

 

Tommy at Poly Performance got me set with Trail Gear's rear brake kit to compliment my hubs and camburg axle.

 

Curious, how much on that disc kit? Thinking of doing mine since everything in my t100 axle needs replacing anyway. Only kits I've seen are $400 with Chevy stuff.

 

Almost double the Chevy stuff, but it bolts together with the other stuff I've got from Trail Gear

 

Looks good. I may just settle for the Chevy kit and a line lock. Thx

 

I just installed a line lock...no e brake sucked

 

Nice. Pretty easy install?

 

Not until I got the right parts lol...use a swagelok from LCE. Makes it so easy...it auto flares the lines you cut. Mines mounted right by where the sway bar used to mount on the side of the frame

 

I'm gonna do a line lock as well, and probably a hydro e-brake/turning brake.

Where's it mounted? Don't you have to push the brake pedal, then the line lock so it "locks" pressure in the rear lines?

 

Are you running 5/8" wheel studs on your truck?

 

No they're currently ARP studs, 12mm if memory serves right. The new rear hubs have 1/2" studs

 

Rear bypasses and a tire

 

Besides brake lines and limit straps, I believe I now have all the hard parts necessary for my 4 link. Tommy at Poly Performance sent me Trail Gear 35 spline axles and drive slugs for my unit hubs. Ordered yesterday and on my door today.
