Long Travel BS Thread

Sounds good, we don't sell TC products but if you were to pick up the parts we can help weld up everything as well.

 

Would anyone happen to have an upper air intake manifold? I cracked this circled part open and it seems like its all one piece..
edit: for a 2006 v6 4.0

 

I'm going to be the proud owner of a 2000 Reg Cab 4x4 Tacoma this week. TC kit, richer racing cage etc. it's a 2.7 4 cylinder but I'm going to roll it as is and possibly regear after this desert season. Should be picking it up on Sun

 

How did you do that? lol


Hit the river bed again.

 

Sweet! I wanted a single cab 4x bad!

Same riverbed I experienced? Fun lil spot!

 

better...

 

Just throwing this out there. No agenda or anything, just a laid back day for everybody to get together and have some fun in gnarstow.

 

Hmmm I do have this weekend off. Anyone camping?

 

Not that I know of...I'm just going to show up at noon and leave around sunset.

 

Well it became painfully obvious that the steering rack on the 2nd gens are trash this weekend.

Blang blew his while in the dirt.

Joel was leaking ps fluid and had a loud whine.

I left Lucerne early due to a whine in my rack. About 20 miles form my house my power steering went out and I had to muscle it home.

Someone needs to make a upgraded rack stat! Or a conversion to a box

 

Wish Howe wasn't so expensive..

 

Yep on my 2nd rack here, interested in what happened to Joel's with his pump set up he has.

 

Just a thought, with fox 2.5 coilovers can I mount them to the swayaway mounting plate? The top mount would fit according to my measurements, or is it best to get a set of fox mounting plates from kartek?

 

I will ship you mine for $200, has 20k miles on it.

 

yeahhhh that sucked haha. i got out and fluid was shooting out of the rack. Thankfully joel brought an extra and i was back going after a rack swap.

with joels, the pressure line either going into the rack or the return line from the rack was just loose causing it to leak realllly bad. Tightened them back up along with topping off and he was back

 

My buddy was hit me up a few weeks ago to help come up with a slider to take the stress off the rack. Surprised no one did it yet for your trucks since all you guys love 35" and low backspacing.

 

+1 I'm on my second rack amd it's already leaking.

 

Yeah this would be a great step forward!

I will convert over to a Howe sometime, but would love a cheaper solution in the meantime.

 

Those 2nd Gen Racks are junk. I have seen so many of those things break and leak over the years. They do ok in sand but Hard dirt is not their friend. But a Howe or other upgrades is Mucho Dinero $$$

 

Yeah they are junk. Lessel said that Dirt Designs was looking into making a Howe upgrade for the 2nd Gens. Would love something come in under $2000 that solves this issue for good.
