Long Travel BS Thread

My buddy trimmed his valence on his colorado and it turned out badass, kinda defeats the purpose of what your after though.

Adding a valence would probably help a tiny bit, would it be significant enough for you to notice less money going towards gas I'd say probably not

 

v8 Colorado, she's bad

 

A valence may not net any gas savings for a few years if you spend a lot on it.

 

Doubtful anything less than an oem bumper would see any real worthwhile gains.


Or maybe something HUGE like a 1' tall valence like BJ's prerunner But it will look quite odd.

Looks like you are in OC.

Contact SS Built as he has some very nice looking bumpers he makes for the Tacoma.

His name is Steve Sherod.

He is used to work for us as a Fabricator for our Race trucks

 

Yes I am, @Cam2010taco is as well.

 

Keep an eye out for new LT kit from Camburg

 

Steve is awesome. He is working on my Tacoma right now doing the front long travel from LSK. He did my front and rear bumper. Great guy and does great work.

He has a few pics of it on SS insta and I have pics of it on mine.

 

More details?

 

all i can say lol...sorry. Ill ask if i can post more details when design gets farther into progress here in a short bit

 

So you jumped the gun a little?

That's cold.

 

I hope you DIY the welding.
If not install is going to cost you. Its an easy 8hrs of labor maybe 10

 

Center mount, j-arm, 4x4 pulling 22” of travel, completely bolt on. Only +1.5” over stock

I have my sources

 

April fools is coming early this year apparently. How are they getting that much CV angle?

 

I heard it was a drop bracket

 

Center mount gives it a longer axle. Longer axle means less angle per vertical travel.

 

How do they get they drive shaft to the diff when it's center mounted?

 

Bluetooth driveshaft. You see it at sema all the time so it has to work.

 

I've heard that a couple times and never knew the basis, are there 4wd trucks at Sema that are missing drive shafts?

 

All the time. If you search SEMA fails you’ll find all sorts of crazy stuff you wouldn’t expect to be at that show
