Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Finally got around to installing limit straps last night and it made a world of difference. The kings just have too much pre load and the drop out was really harsh (loud clunk). All that is gone now with the straps. I also used an adjustment cam tab for the upper part of the strap to allow for fine tuning of the length. I highly recommend installing straps on theses trucks no matter what the setup is.... best mod I’ve done to date! I also included a pic of how little pre load I have with 600lbs springs.

 

She also got a bath and some black badges today... chrome bumper and grill are next to go.

 

how about that exhaust tip?

 

Might keep it just because it pisses my brother off so badly

 

I just picked up a set yesterday to install on mine. Are you concerned about the LCA not being reinforced for straps and bumps?

 

The lower arm is fine with the stock bumps so it should be fine with the hydros. If anything the hydro allows for a more progressive bottom out which lessons the impact forces. And for the straps the tabs I made wrap around the side of the arm so I’m not worried.

Worst case is the lower arm breaks and I’m forced to stop being lazy and make new ones

 

I seem to remember someone mentioning a swingset steering this guy mentioned someone who makes them or use to in this video.

I’ve seen that truck in person and it’s pretty cool. The issue with 4x4 is clearance for a swing set.

**spoiler alert**
I was trying to keep this hush hush but whatever, I’m currently working on a slide rack for the 4x4 Tacoma. It will be a game changer for all tacos

 

Similar to those used in Ultra4 and dirt track racing? His apparently works with a 4x4 but looking on the IG it does take up a lot of real estate where the diff is.

 

We need more steering options for these trucks so get to it.

 

Not really like either. The stock rack/pump has plenty of power but the issue is the rack diameter is too small so you get a lot of deflection out at the ends which causes the rack to jump teeth or just break all together. The slide system takes all the load off the ends of the rack... stay tuned

I need something tough to handle the rocks and can have hydro assist.

 

The slide rack and real tie rods will do the trick. After conversations with Howe they don’t think a ram is necessary, just port the stock pump

 

Guess it depends how you are wheeling.

 

You will only ever need a ram if you are locking the front end which isn’t gonna happen on an ifs Tacoma

 

Plenty of people running a locked front.

 

Limited slip or a true arb locker?
