Long Travel BS Thread

What he said. I'm also looking into a CAT brand air cleaner I saw at work. I'll be able to get the parts through them. It's a lot more heavy duty rubber/pastic housing. Right now this is just a thought in my head. So many other things going on with the truck right now with the truck stripped and getting a cage.

 

Truck is on jack stand in garage getting some maintenance.

What is proper protocol for greasing the Total Chaos lower control arm bushings? I would assume I loosen the nuts and add grease just like the upper, but wondering if it will cause issues with alignment and better just to leave it be until I plan on getting an alignment done?

 

You correct. Slightly loosen them and then add grease. If you are concerned about the alignment shifting you can put the front on jack stands and take the weight off. Also do just 1 joint at a time would help prevent unintended alignment shifts.

 

You can also use a sharpie to mark everything before loosening.

 

Thank you guys I appreciate it!

 

What do you guys use for lube on poly bushings and suspension parts thatblasts.

 

black lithium based moly grease. Lasts longer and is quiet.

 

Where do you get it

 

no where special. Just the parts store.

 

did they ever make 35" projects in a 17" wheel? or only 15"

 

They make projects for a 17” wheel. 35x12.5R17 all day. Just $$

 

its either 35" bfgs or some bias trepadors

 

Started the cab cage. This is going to take some time for sure. I’m using 1 1/4 pvc to help figure out the angles, lengths and clear things out of the way. Once I’m done I’ll transfer everything thing to tube.

 

Heck ya. It going to be frustrating but you’ll like it once you power through all the work.

 

I loved my last set of MT/R’s but they were crazy heavy. Are these going on your Tacoma or 4-Runner? I have been thinking about Toyo MT’s as my next set on my truck.

 

The Toyos are awesome tires, but they are alot heavier then the MT/Rs. But still great tires I love them, plus they look great too.

 

Love mtrks. Not sure if I'll go for STT Pros next or not though. Great reviews on those from folks on here

 

I love my mt-r’s but will be looking at the new KM3’s when they’re available.

the MTRs are sweet, i had a set on my 4runner before the creepys, these are going on my tacoma, im debating jumping to a 37 for when i link it then id just get some projects, but if i were to stick with 35s id go with either creepys, treps, or maybe even the new KO3s
