Long Travel BS Thread

if there's interest in a 3rd gen, im sure I can become available if you need measurements or anything. i will probably not do any exhaust work until FI.

 

On my list. Curious to know proper cable gauge size for this.

 

There's a battery relocation kit for $500. A bit pricey though

 

Appreciate it! I have a local guy that will let me take his any time I want so I should be covered!

Side note. It’s done. And it’s rowdy as hell! Might need a bigger muffler

 

Probably for the best, otherwise I'll be ending up with a custom exhaust lol

 

You’ll just be ready for boost then!

 

let me get the rest of the truck up to par first then im all in. I'm sure some disgruntled 3rd gen maggie owner is upgrading to a new taco and i can snag their old supercharger.

 

Well you’ve inspired me @906taco

I reached out to PPE engineering, they’re the most popular Lexus exhaust header and system manufacturer by far, and they happen to be local to me.

I had to have my old exhaust chopped out to get the trans out, and instead of welding that mild steel POS back in, they’re gonna make me an EL y pipe, resonated, dual mode muffler, and fender exit out of stainless for me once my truck is back and shook down.

 

Yep! I did it and it wasn't bad.

Pics are in my post history; I can dig a link later this evening.

 

Yes ive heard good things about both, only other question now is where to order the coilovers front/back for proper valving. These trucks are light

 

I have 12-15’ of 2/0 welding lead with a 400a fuse off the battery.

No issues yet including winch pulls. Speaker amps are wired separately.

I’m sure you can get away with smaller wire. I would just avoid cca wire in favor of solid copper.

 

Wheel every weekend

 

Pardon my ignorance, is this catless (commiefornia non compliant)?

 

This will be race car stuff. You need secondary cats for visual in CA. Gotta save the environment

 

What do you mean?

 

How many grounds? Location of grounds? Run individual wires to fuse box/starter, or from a junction?

A cat could easily be added post merge collector. Or find an inspector you can pay off with a Benny.

 

damn, I guess I missed an opportunity! I didn't bother with trying to make equal length when i did my exhaust tuck 3 years ago!

 

This is how I had mine. 1/0 wrapped in 5/8” rubber hose for extra protection. Ran everything off of the terminals and grounded to frame/tube.
