Long Travel BS Thread

That is a sweet Tacoma!

 

I think that truck used to be orange. That thing looked like the biggest piece of crap. Just look at the cage work. The tubes in the roof do not tie into the junctions.

 

Same truck as the link. Ya not impressed

 

he also says it's a TC kit up front, but the upper arms look nothing like TC arms, same with the lowers...

 

nice dig on the old pics chris

that thing looks all jacked up

 

It helps when I had them saved on my computer
Front suspension is still using upper balljoint and full droop at ride height

 

That thing is a POS

 

Look at the rear links. The lowers go forward and the tops to backwards. The tabs have no bracing from flexing or bending. If im thinking correctly when it goes to droop. front links will want to pull forward and the rear links will want to pull back.Its going to bind sooner or later limiting the travel and possibly breaking something

 

I requested more pictures of the truck on DR i have a feeling the guy will ignore me.

 

Reverse 4-link? Wang on TTORA did it seems to work fine but you right nothing is braced just looks scary to drive

 

Sounds good

 

The few issues I have with my TC kit is that it uses a ball joint on the lower. It should have a uni-ball. Also I can't use air bumps on it which is lame. Also since my kit is the old kit it doesn't have grease zerks but I'm going to add the this winter. Other then those small things everything else is great about it so far.

 

AY Amaes Can u explain how A midtravel setup would benefit with some Upgraded air bumps..??? Like Kings or FOX?? is it really worth it for a midtravel setup.... the reason y i ask is that i keep hearing that its more so about the bump travel???

those 3 things are the same complaint i have about the TC kit

 

put on a new MDR memorial sticker today

top corner, passenger side

 

Looks good matt.

 

Badass video man! That jeep gets so much air! I'm surprised that the tires didn't crush straight into the cab.

 

I am thinking of stopping by TC when I am in Cali and having them weld the alignment cams and strut tower gussets on for me

 

Matt: Thanks for the quick info. I'm diggin' the bling factor.

Alex: Thanks for the info as well. Pretty sweet set up he's got. So essentially is just a mid-travel front, rear is defined's SUA kit, and he has sheet metal all along near the engine correct? Since you personally rode in it how does it ride compared to LT in general? Sorry if my actual question is confusing hah.
