Long Travel BS Thread

how come

 

Toyota no longer knows how to manufacture a quality vehicle

And they don't stand behind their warranty or recalls

 

Speaking of...any updates on the ride?

 

Kentucky is a dead zone for companies to haul vehicles from

So I have to find someone with a truck and a trailer and no life who wants to go to Cali haha

All factory parts on the rear end are on nationwide backordered as well so no bandaid repairs

 

You are gonna link it this time around right?

 

Yep

 

What ever happened to jeff

 

I just ordered some samples of grays and #1 looks exactly with what I’m going with. Think it’s called battleship gray.

 

I have 1080-G31 Gloss Storm Grey on mine.

Did you do it yourself or have it professionally done? I’m thinking about trying it myself but never have good luck with big stickers and always end up getting pissed and throwing shit.

 

yup, may bad I was looking at it on my phone screen and I though the sway bar the front of the link...which leads me to a new question - is the sway bar threaded through that OE cross member or are they just using a stub off the frame ?

 

I had it done originally but recently moved to fiberglass bedsides and did those myself. Honestly it isn't super difficult once you get the hang of it, but plan on the first attempt or two being a complete mess. Practice on a small area first to get your process and temperature right.

I laid out material for one bedside on my first go round and completely messed it up. It was too cold and brittle and ripped when I tried to stretch it. Second go at the same bedside I started in the wrong place and got a big crease. Third time I had it the right temp in the garage and laid it out right and it went on fine. When I did the other bedside I had the process down and it went smoothly.

 

Yeah looks like it goes through the cross member when you look at the driver side.
I'd like to see it in person just to see more details on the upper link under the cab.

 

^Looks like its missing a nut on that lower sway bar link on the axle

 

1 is storm grey. 7 is battleship. I think I have narrowed it down to one of those 2 or be a little different and go with 4 which is charcoal metallic

 

i have Lead Foot Grey on my new work truck. Its badass but my god what a pain in the ass to clean. Streaks like crazy

 

Thanks for the pic. Much better reference to see how it looks on a taco

 

I have "paint peel blue"

 

Did you wrap yourself or pay to have it done? If you paid, mind if I ask how much that ran you?
