Long Travel BS Thread

if you see a guy with one of those im sure his wife made him buy it. Or hes a pussy with bad taste in trucks (if you want to call it that)

 

Key word is car.

 

It's a fancy car.......you can put 3 bags of potting soil in the back.

 

I'm pretty sure I have too. I really want 3.0s for the rear.


Oh and anybody see any 2.5x8" coilovers for sale?

 

Saw these but you probably gonna have to get them rebuilt/revalved for a taco.

Brenthel uses some a quite different shock for the chevy than the spec'd tacoma shock. Those lower rod ends could definetly open up some cool adjustment options, but you'll more than likely be changing more than just the valving.

 

Yeah I saw that they were pretty different.

 

It moves along pretty good.

 

I think that's actually a different truck. That's a hall designs truck. It's bad ass

 

Yes, it is a completely different vehicle. One is a stock spec style other is not.

 

The stock spec won its class in the 1000 in 2015...



... it was the only vehicle in its class

 

That hall designs truck also won it's class. Also only truck in it's class

 

They did more than participate, they finished, within the time allowed. If you've never been to Baja you wouldn't appreciate what they accomplished.

 

Yeah I agree J, even though it is a Ridgeline and everyone likes to bash them if they navigated 1000 miles in baja in a stock class on dirt at speed with minimal breakage that is a fkn huge accomplishment. I've broken an LCA, a main leaf & a hub / wheel bearing just driving on surf missions in baja, no heroic antics either that's just from being loaded down w/ gear and driving pretty tame. Simply driving for hours on wash board roads will wreck your shit every bit as bad as those " hold my beer " moments...

 

I need help from someone who has a total chaos 3.5 kit on a 2nd gen with the uniball adapters.

Can someone tell me the size allen head for the through bolt and where to buy one or if one of you has one in or near idyllwild that can help out the guy who bought my truck?

Basically I replaced the bolt nut and washer and when he got home it was loose, he doesn't have the big allen wrench you need to tighten it though

EDIT: the total chaos instructions say 5/8 can anyone confirm? and anyone in or remotely close to idyllwild have one to borrow?

 

Wish I was close enough - any hardware store should have them.

 

Yeah I have one at home, the guy is checking at his buddies house and thinks he'll have it. Most hardware stores stop at 12mm though, only place I know that carries them is mcfaddendales

 

if you dont have a allen head large enough, find a small bolt to fit it and double nut it to make a makeshift allen bolt

 

This as well.
