Long Travel BS Thread

Lol I needed more than a dremel. The lines...I mean gaps are okay. But what the hell, I'm just going to beat the crap out of it

 

Just take a grinder wheel to it. Goes alot faster.

 

It's glass man, no garantee it will be perfect.

 

It's all good I'll let you know how the passenger side goes

 

BTW Coot your glass looks great!

 

Yessir

 

Nice!

I grew up in St. George and used to wheel the piss out of my Jeep there before they put in the reservoir. I'd recognize that sand anywhere.

Anyway, your truck is fucking sick. Outstanding job on the build!

 

Nice. We've been coming here for a few years now, We love it, hit the dunes in the AM lake at noon and back in the dunes by afternoon. Best of both worlds

 

I love your truck

Just curious, but how are you keeping that from warping without a jig?

 

Hopefully gonna find a better jump tomorrow. Hard to get good speed and pretty steep lip on this one. I need another 100 ponies now

 

DAS BOOOOSSSSTT!!!!

I added a blower to my truck(1st gen) and it made it pretty fun. Need to tune it to work better. But still nice to have the zip back. Even on 5.29s with 35s, it moves now.

My Dads 2nd gen is supercharged about as much as you can with a TRD blower. Hauls ass for an almost 6000lb trail limo. With 4.56s.

 

How well does your taco move with the cage and bigger tires? I recently caged mine and put in 5.29's but I was pretty surprised how slow it is now. Granted i'm naturally aspirated and auto trans but I thought the 5.29's would restore all lost acceleration and add some. Not so much... How's yours??

 

well I had a full length tube tacked in there for the frame pivots when I put it together. and tacked it to a 1/2" plate. tacked the living daylights out of everything....and welding in sequences to distribute the heat, I checked em on a surface plate granite piece....theyre like within a 1/16" of each other...close enough lol. I have a jigfor the frame pivot spacing for when I put the bushings in and final weld it all too. and really if you draw it on the computer with some interlocking bits and don't weld it like a retard it aint gunna move enough to matter

 

5.29s helped a ton for me.

But top end power didn't change. Lower torque and crawling was great. I have a manual so even lower geared then your auto.

The blower just added the missing power back. Great even with 35s.

 

Thanks man, considering the info in this thread alone I think I got lucky with my beds.

 

I hope y'all saw the Vegas to Reno like me!

 

It's slow. I'm on 4.88 and regret not going up to 5.13. If I can get close to 100hp more I'd be happy, but I don't think 6k for a sc is worth it

 

Damm sucks, I just built that new taco all linked 2" tube throughout and it has the 3.5 motor haha. Imma regear to 5.29 see what that does
