Matt's Long Travel Prerunner build

The trucks lookin good man! Truly an inspiration for a fellow Prerunner guy.

 

man i gotta say bad ass . looks dam good bet it rides nice

 

thanks dude, right now it rides really stiff. kinda bouncy. shocks need to be re-valved, but it's def better than what i had before. once i get the shocks valved and tuned it's gonna be perfect

 

Right on. One of these years im going to come out to the left coast for a couple of weeks and hook up with everyone

 

i love the rear LT setup! well the whole truck honestly

 

hey matt, gotta question for ya. When you first got your front flared fenders, did you have the mid travel? or when you upgraded from mid-travel to long travel then you got the flared fenders? Im talking about when you first got your first set of the fenders. I wanna get a set of flared fenders and baja bumper, but im not LT. I am only mid-travel. So I am wondering if it would look gay to have the wheels not sticking out like the LT does.

 

i put my glass on before i was LT, but was planning on going LT in a few months. they were glassworks 3.5"

i dont think it looked too bad but wasn't that great either. my wheels are 4.5" backspace. less backspace would have help fill in the wheelwell better

 

looks really good dude! Once you get the spare tire carrier and rearbumper its gunna sit even more bro huh.

 

How does this thing handle speed bumps?

 

probably, the rear bumper is going to be really simple and i'm thinking i'm gonna go with some sort of removable spare tire carrier. it's going to sit flat in the bed anyways, might as well make everything bolt on so i can take it out when i dont need it and have all my bed space

it dominates

 

any videos of domination yet?

 

haha, not yet. been too busy with work and finals to get out and test things. maybe this weekend...

 

had a little free time before work and went to jump "the dip" a couple times. can't even tell i got air. and of course after this my batteries died in the go pro. i'll try again this weekend. landings are pillow soft though, and thats with out the shocks being valved and tuned. also my crappy attempt to show off the truck.

now now jon, we all know you wish you lived in the desert and could go long travel.

 

Nice...ya man u can swing by anytime for those cans. Man da cash is tight right now, it seems like its one thing after another that keeps eatin my play money! That's why no new tires yet or shocks...shit I havnt even hit the dirt in a while. I gotta hit the lotto.

 

Your truck is bad ass bro. I had a question about your breakage. Forgive me if i missed something but it looks like it was just broken bolts or ? Did you upgrade anything or just replace with stock stuff again?

 

thanks dude, it's come a long way in just a year

nope, you got it. just broken bolts. the carnage was minimal because i was going slow, had i been on the freeway like i was 10 min before it happened... who knows how bad it would have been. i did have to replace the fiberglass though, that got crunched bad. i replaced the bolts with stock grade 8 bolts from toyota. gonna upgrade to the new solo motorsports spindle a get rid of the lower ball joint and the spindle/ LCA attachment point will be much stronger

here's what i'm talking about
