Long Travel BS Thread

My little regular cab has gotten some fun parts added the last month or so.

Strategic Racing Designs just finished some work on my truck: Trail Gear "Bomb Proof" motor mounts, reinforced transmission cross member, aluminum belly skid, dual spare tire carrier, mounted race jack, and added some more lights tabs.

I picked up some Baja Designs lights from Bailey: 30" Onyx6 light bar (front), pair of Squadron Pros (front), pair of Squadron Sports (dust), and all the harnesses to wire it up.

I found a Tundra axle on DR and will have SRD do the axle swap in March. It has 5.29 gears, Detroit Locker, and is trussed already. Time to finally get those shocks outboard of the axle and away from my gas tank.

 

Yeah my ahocks kiss the gas tank...don't wanna re do the bed cage tho

 

Just notch the gas tank. It's totally safe

 

There's already a dent lol.....

 

Any takers (free) or the trash awaits? PM me, I'd rather give em to a good home. I have more too.

 

Thats like cash in Mexico....

 

How would you guys mount the shocks for outside the frame rails? I can't think of a good...strong way...don't wanna build a new bed cave

 

No need to rebuild it. You have plenty of room to plate and box in mounts on the outside of your hoop. Add a few tubes and some plate and you're in business.

 

I'm really bad with making like boxed ate things lol...I was thinking about running hoops vertical off my hoops lol...but seems like to much stress in the tube....I really can't picture it

 

Annanaaaaaaannnnnd theeeerrrre gooooaaaannnn!!!!!! Goaaan gone gooooooooooaaaannne! Like scoring a goal, it made sense in my head.

 

Damn, my tool box needed more horse powa..oh well haha

 

Get to tha powa!

 

Can you take a photo from the back, slightly looking down on the drivers side shock mount.

 

It's hard to tell where the shock would come up...and how far out the shock would mount from the original hoops...the original hoops land straight on top of the frame

 

Saw this, maybe like that but going out instead of in

I like the hoops you made on the engine cage for the ranger...was thinking about something like that

 

Have you drove the truck with the tg mounts yet? Curious how bad they vibe on the 4banger. Playing around with the idea of making my own mounts with larger 1.5" poly bushings to cut down on the harshness.

 

Have them on my 4 banger.
i didn't notice anything at all. i guess maybe a slight vibration... but felt way more responsive and actually gave my alot more power, believe it or not!

 

i would have taken them....

 

Boxed rear frame horns say waaat??

 

suggestions for what stack i should run on my bypasses? gonna open them up tomorrow and see whats inside. gonna put some fresh oil in also
