Long Travel BS Thread

yup. thats why the are called "trophy truck" bedsides... it's science.

 

Anyone like these http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/pts/2537107640.html

 

^^ seems like a pretty good deal. the fenders seem pretty fed up tho

 

Not sure pretty sick and good priced

 

yeah i want the hood too! i new i should have gotten one before i painted my truck. oh well. i think im going to need bigger front glass anyways..

 

Do it! It's different and if you end up hating them you can just turn around and sell them..

 

My vote is a no on the TT bedsides. They look good on a trophy truck but not so much on a Tacoma IMO

 

NAY NAY NAY! i hate those bedsides on any truck, they look so goofy.

matt you should get some bypasses for the front, thats what you really need my friend or bigger tires

 

Nahhh forget the bypasses for now. When was the last time you (Matt) overheated a shock? I say cage that bitch (after you get the lower uniball conversion for your spindles)

 

Those fenders do look beat

EDIT: I'm talking about the CL ones

 

They dont look right on a first gen.

 

yeah, but maybe if he gets those bypasses he'll start huckin his truck off some jumps like this


thats from this months Offroad mag

 

yeah to do that you would be an idiot doing that without a cage

 

yes very true.

 

so he needs to man up and do both

 

You wont jump any farther with bypasses. He would be better off with bump stops for jumping. I know you can kinda make a bypass a bump stop but thats a lot of money for a bump stop. Its a big argument on how bypasses help but the main thing is an added shock to share the dampening load. That way your shocks dont overheat as fast. With the weight of a 2wd 1st gen you dont really need them

 

True so in that case using the bypasses as a bump is a good thing

 

Bypass are there to make valving easyier. You turn the coilover in to basically a coil holder and use the bypass to tune the front end.
