cbechtold's Long Travel IFS Crawler Tacoma Build and BS Thread

That's what I keep hearing and I'm excited to get them installed once I rip the front of my truck apart and gusseted. Just waiting on my UCAs and 35s at this point.

 

I just installed them and they performed very well this weekend at hollister. If you have the LCAs off, install them then. They were a bit off a pain to install with the LCAs on, not much room to get a socket wrench in there to tighten it down. I ended up using a 1/4" wrench with a universal socket to a 3/8" adapter to a 3/8th standard socket of the size bolt it was (don't recall).

 

That's the plan. I'm going to be pulling upper and lower control arms and spindles out once my new UCAs so I can burn on a bunch of gussets.

 

Sounds like a second gen problem, takes like 20 mins on a first gen.

 

I'm just bitching really. It took no more than 20 minutes. It was just a pain to be able to get the socket in there with the lca in the way. Most the time was trying different attachments to get the right length to access the bolt and still be able to pull to the wrench out.

 

Well I've got 3 (maybe 4) weeks until I start cutting. Tires arrived today at work. UCA also arrived a few weeks ago. I've got a few things to do this weekend, and then I can get this project rolling.

 

What’s the size

 

315/75r16

 

Are you tubbing?

 

If he wants to be able to wheel he is. lol

 

Nah, just adding a 12'' body lift.

Yessir. Fully tub'd lock to lock at full stuff. Doing it right the first time around.

 

Pull your bumps as well as the coilover. Then go at least 3/4" bigger then you think you need to. You'll have it right when you cut right next to the door hinge. It's a lot of work but it is worth it the moment you get into the big rocks.

 

When I’m ready to tub, I’m coming to bishop! Lol

 

The welder and grinder are both in the garage. Just bring some sheet metal.

 

Yeah, I'm going to listen to what I saw @tetten say when be tub'd for 40s. I'm going to mechanical bind just to make sure I don't have rubbing issues.

 

Hell ya! I’ll be camping out that way for the 4th of July. I’ll try to swing by for a beer. Last year we camped near June lake and had a good time

 

Should have went 343/85r17.....

 

Ha! One day.

 

Just solid axle it, I didn't have to tub to fit 39's

 

Ha! Eventually I'll get around to it. I'm starting to get tired of constantly working on the truck.
