Long Travel BS Thread

ya that's not a big deal.

 

Probably a stupid question but with all the endless complaints about how bad the Gen1 steering racks are and that they suck. Has anyone simply gone to a solid mount setup on the rack out of curiosity? Delrin bushings on the drivers side and actual mounting tabs on the pass side? If so, any feedback?

 

In case anyone wants to follow my build. Trying to get exposure especially as I install the full solo LT kit. Always feel free to ask about any of the mods. I'm always willing to help and receive feedback. Thx.

Your welcome to come out hang out with us out there, i can ask around whats a good location once i talk to some who have seen the course.

 

Is there any spindle gusset kit out for the 05+ tacoma's that would be strong enough to bump off the upper arm?

 

Not really an upper arm that you can do that that isn't custom made anyways.

 

A local shop is bumping off the uca uniball using a bump pad like this.

They are running a total chaos kit on their lsx powered 88 toyota race truck btw. Not their truck in the link though.

 

Tommy at Poly Performance got me a box of goodies in quick order.

Trail gear 6 lug d60 unit hubs and mounting pockets.

 

huh..interesting. That would be nice. Better then bumping of the LCA...

 

Heavy duty parts. What are your plans for those?

 

Yikes
That seems super sketchy to me and not something I'd do.

 

Not sketchy at all. Lots of desert racers have their bumps set up this way.

 

That's how every a-arm race truck is set up, you just have to have a strong enough spindle to handle it. No a stock gusseted spindle is not strong enough, unless it's an older pickup spindle or something

 

Damn, guess I have to save up some more pennies for a kit that has fabbed 4x4 spindles.

 

you know who's these are? or are they yours? intrested in these, doyouquax wont ship for me

 

I dont , contact the seller.

 

derp

 

Posting this ish everywhere.... Sorry not sorry

Ok so the decision has been made to build up the black donor truck not the red on e for many reasons. So the red truck is being stripped and parted. The suspension is going as is the front diff and complete rear axle. Everything else is up for grabs. 3.4 is running great with fresh timing belts, water pump, tensioner etc, (has a gasket leak between cylinder 2-4, mechanic confirmed) frame has a ton of fab work and straight within Toyota specs. Frame woul be great for a longtravel truck. Trans and transfer very well maintained. 4x ecu, harness and all wiring etc available. Pretty much anything a 3.4 trd 4x4 dbl cab would have, minus suspension and diffs... Let me know. I know a bunch of u wanted parts but I don remember who cuz had some many text, pm and dm's asking lol

Trying not to ship, prefer pick up or meet.

 

LOL please explain how this is sketchy? as long as its not a stock spindle

 

playing around with sketch up, 2" tubing, 1.5" for the shock cross braces, ill do ruff stuff 1.5" tubing tabs that slip over the tubing and some dimple die plating for cool guy points lol 4 couplers so i can unbolt it yada yada.. pretty straight forward, any ideas, comments?
