Long Travel BS Thread

i freaking loved this truck. i didnt realize it was your SUA kit on it though... is the defined tab on the shackles like it usually is?

i guess this is the reason you not supposed to drink on an empty stomach haha

 

is that a show/sponsor truck or is it built to race? because i noticed it still has stock fenders...but putting fiberglass doesn't justify a race ready truck either

 

its doing the baja 1000 as a limited stock truck

oh okay, what are the specs for that class? it looks to be fully caged, rear LT, front as well? what else?

 

yeah the team dropped the ball on reinstalling the embossed logos , they lost them ! ill be sure they are reapplied for SEMA.

the wrap was installed late this last week , so the show was the first i saw the wrap . pretty overdone and a lot of the the sponsors logos are too small .

 

from what i understand from talking to the guy who is going to drive it the 1000 you cant modify the lca or uca so those are stock the spindles are not gusseted right now but he said they are going to gusset them they shopped the cab mount even though technically your not supposed to do that lol and apparently there is a 07 tacoma model that i guess came SUA so thats why they are able to do the defined SUA kit and of course has to be caged to be SCORE legal and its actually a 2007 tacoma with a conversion front bumper

 

wow that has to be brutal, so basically in the front all he can have is coilovers and gusseted spindles?

 

Mike said they're modified Bilstein's with bypasses up front. Yup, it is brutal, it really is a class of driver skill.

 

triangulating rear shocks takes some thought and real effort into it. achieving the proper valving of the shocks can be a pain in the ass. not being done properly can turn the DD into a handfull to handle on the highway.

i'm running the All Pro Expedition Springs with Fox Shocks..i love em, and they flex awesomely..

 

yeah thats what i said but he swears that he will be able to finish top in his class so we will see, i think it will be awesome if it does well it will be huge bragging rights for toyota if it does well

 

hell yeah man, that would be awesome

 

Awesome, most of the guys in that class are awesome drivers, only the best would even attempt it in a stock class

 

yeah but everyone knows that the ultimate class is limited stock baja bug lol

 

Hah, yeah all stock classes are badass

 

So do they televise the baja 1000?

 

i dont think so maybe the start and all the madness lol i want to go down there this year that would be the ultimate TW meet

 

Not sure, usually there is a video/film on NBC or Espn can't remember with all the highlights of the race, usually pretty good.

You can also follow online, people/spectators post Youtube videos as well.
