Long Travel BS Thread

I think most 1 pieces push the front grill 6 or 7 inches forward

 

A "race kit" is usually 5" or more over and a fully built spindle with big race hubs and 1.5" uniballs in the lowers but I guess TC is redefining that ha

 

Haha may as well be the Tundra they used in Baja with the stock uca and lcas

 

WTT 33/12.5/17 General Grabbers. Almost new with 2k miles on them, brand new spare. 5 tires in total. Trade for bfg's, etc. Around same size (33's preferred, maybe 34's)

 

My lca's are 4130 chromoly

 

Have you actually beat on your truck yet? I know you didn't do it to much in glamis

 

Well why not? Gotta hammer down and see where you are at tuning wise

 

Well whatever floats your boat haha. But you spent all that time and money to have that built and haven't used it to its full potential. Would be a shame if you didn't use it to the full extent if you do sell it.

 

You did 60mph? Over whoops? Do you have video?

 

You can borrow my GoPro when I get back from Henderson.

 

Just ordered my long travel kit,i'm a bit scared to what i've gotten myself into aha

 

gabe lemme drive your truck

 

The race kit is the Dakar, Rally Raid and class 3 race kit. It makes these truck legal to race width wise. TC has 6 trucks racing Dakar this year.

 

That's alot of money for that 2" kit unless you plan on racing class 3 or Dakar. I paid less than $5k for my camburg kit drop shipped with upgrade steering. I too am running a 2nd gen 4x4 tacoma.

 

I paid less than 5 just the other day with shipping for the camburg race kit, spindles, wilwood brakes, heimed steering, etc. But I got in on the cyber Monday deal

 

Got my LT ordered aswell, cant wait for everything to come in and see what my truck can do. didnt go full race truck though lol still gotta be a dd for now

 

i really dont think any of that matters...... i have 33s, 4x4, 12 inches of travel. just skinny pedal down and you will actually be able to let the suspension work.

if you hit big woops any less than 50 MPH, IMO you are looking to smash your front end into everything imagineable. i hit woops anywhere from 50-75 and its just fine. even when my suspension wasnt tuned i could do it. and now its only been tuned once. definitely needs more, but you just need to go faster. any truck that goes over woops at 35 is asking to fuck shit up.

why???? you already have one built that you own... why sell it and build another and waste 30 grand?
make yours drive how you want and you will be happier.

you definitely havent.....
top speed pinned in 3rd IS NOT 60............ on the red line in 2nd you should be hitting like 50.... in 3rd you should be able to HAUL ASS.



i know this because i drive a LT 4x4 4 banger.
im not trying to be a dick so sorry if i came off that way. i realize everyone has their own driving limits and comforts. but suspension has to be driven fast to be able to work....
shit i was hitting 2 footer woops at 60 in a caged truck with bilstein 5100s up front and a add a leaf and 5125s out back.. speed is your friend!

 

Ya i think it was more like 30 when you i saw you going. It seemed like speed wasn't there and you were just rocking them slowly

 

x2 blang will show you its true potential
he was mobbing harder back when he had m/t hahaha, he'll show you how to drive that thing
then when he got the race kit... we've had some good times in the single cab

 

you have a lot of options.. you're really not going to beat a little truck for convenience and drivability. you can turbo, swap to a 4.0 and s/c, or do a 4x4 race kit with dirt designs

i like my linked tundra with v8 but i do miss my little single cab from time to time
and like i said.. if you think its not fast, ride with brian. we've gotten into plenty of trouble in his truck with 35's and stock gearing...
