Long Travel BS Thread

LT life

 

Recently received my new headlights for a similar reason. Ps I think you skipped leg day

 

Link to seller?

 

I went with these.

A little more than a stock replacement but they look good and should be a decent lighting upgrade from stock for daily driving.

 

Trying to fix a

$13 M12X1.25 mm Self-Locking Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nuts, Pack of 6

M12X1.25 bolt (caliper/spindle bolt) and spindle thread. Anybody has a tap & die set with that size? Cheapo Freight and Amazon specials don't come with that size.

 

McMaster Carr will have any length you need and probably give you a pack of 10 for less than 2 or 3 at any other place. Could upgrade all to grade 8 / 10 for metric zinc coated while you do it

 

Are you talking about the bolts?
I got the bolts. I need to fix the thread on the spindle as well.
Post edited.

 

Found the die and flute separate.

 

Ah, I ended up buying a gearwrench tap and die set however even though it has a good selection of sizes, that is a tough to find size in a set.

 

Gonna have to buy a small set and buy those separate I guess.

 

Sure, McMaster has everything. Hope you like waiting for 2 months lol

 

I got my stuff the next day when I ordered last week

Also living 3 miles from the will-call is a perk, but no will call with the distancing deal these days.

 

Damn. I cancelled my order recently because they couldn’t ship it out for months

 

Everything has been shipped next day, arriving within 4 days for me too. Its awesome when you're not sure what you're doing

 

Who out there knows of other companies that make shock mounts like the giant ones below...

 

Any reason they're not working? LSK, TNT Fab, BTF would be able to make them among many other places...

 

3 days left on the group buy for anyone who wants to join the long travel or upgraded stearing club: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...kker-suspension-group-buy-closes-5-31.664129/

 

Found a fab guy that makes the rack savers for 1st gens

 

More info please

 

TNT Fab on Instagram - he'll make them on any truck with a core to build from. Here's one for a 1st gen Tundra which is almost identical (but not exact) as ours - you'd just have to make a mount.
