Long Travel BS Thread

Truck motor has to go in a truck etc.

 

looking at BAR's rules it has to be from same GVWR so if Tacoma's are light duty trucks then it has to come from a light duty truck, cant come from a heavy or med duty, ect, ect, must come from same duty and class.
also same yr or newer. other then that,
a few other things like trans will have to match engine no brainier stuff.
Sounds easy on paper but I have heard its a pain in the ass.

 

I am running e30hd its not that stiff. Yes i had to revalve shocks pretty soft. But it works well and needs some weight. How do you have them set up ?

 

Definitely a lot easier to register in a state other than Commifornia

 

What do y’all think about these alignment numbers. Specifically the bottom ones I’m surprised I was able to actually get the toe within 1/8” before with a tape measure.

 

Your toe is wrong, on any rear wheel drive vehicle you should have around an 1/8” of toe because the front wheels spread as the truck moves forward. With zero toe it will cause bad wear toward the outside edges of the tires.

 

I’ve had JBA Long tubes and currently running AFE Short Tubes

 

Soooooo....anyone know anyone who has a linked truck with a RTT on the back....kinda toying with the idea to make a removable rack to attach to the trunk lid to maintain access to the rear storage. Smaller tent only weighs like 95lbs soo all said and done adds like 130lbs overall on the back....just curious if anyone has done it

 

@sytfu510 just got his truck linked and has one.

 

There's a guy with a pre taco that beats o. His rig hard with one. I'd do it. Make some removable cross bars bed rail height that ties to the bed cage. Be perfect

 

Yea that's kinda what I'm plannin if I build what I got in my head I think it'll turn out alright, only gunna have it on for camping trips not all the time, but stout enough to bash some whoops like dezert and pismo shit

 

I know ttmotorsports did his truck with one

 

Helllll yea

 

I'd just suggest keeping it as low as possible. It makes a huge difference in handling.

 

Yea itll basically sit on my spare and I'll have it to where u can pivot just the tent up to get the spare out if u had to

 

Tommy from TT motorsports

And sytfu
But
His truck isn’t caged so there is no tower coming off the back of the cab like most linked trucks

 

his truck is caged

 

He has a bed still tho

 

I've got a set of JBA long tube headers, and DMZ.motor miunts, no clearance issues with tower gussets, and lits of room to soare. Apparently if you replace motor mounts with DMZ fab solid mounts you can run any of the long tubes eithwit issue.

 

Go home. Your drunk
