Betsy the Long Travel Expedition Tacoma Build

Sub'd!

 

All-Pro Long Travel is now on order

It is their brand new High Clearance Long Travel Kit with boxed and plated lowers.


I will be doing a full install/write up thread once the process starts.

#staytuned

 

Have fun with the axles.....

 

And put limit straps on that kit

 

Limit straps are ordered, axles shouldn't be to much of a burden. While I'm at it, im going to make 1 or 2 spares for the trail.

 

Lol have you done LT axles before?

 

cool they got rid of that really stupid lower shock bolt design

 

Amazing truck bro. Love the build. Awesome that your wife jumps in there and helps you out with projects. My wife was about to come out and help me with my snorkel and then our baby started crying haha. Subbed!

 

Long travel axles are very easy, only PITA is the grease to deal with.

Truck is looking good Jason, cant wait to see it with long travel!

 

From a few weekends back.

New Update:
Iv'e recently upgraded to a new All-Pro Pack Rack. The decision here was to get the tent a little higher off the ground so my Annex would fill out nicer. Also, it's been driving me nuts not being able to open my window in the RTT all the way!

I installed it last week, pictures to follow soon

 

Not always, you must of never had stubborn ones

 

Sick truck dude!! Im digging the winter summer settups

Lets talk 35s.....
1) How much did you trim off of your fenders?
2) Backspacing on your wheels
3) Whatelse did you have to do to get them to fit?
4) Any rubbing?
5) How do you like those tires? Balance, wear, etc....

 

@ragincajun35

1. I trimmed 2.5 out of my fenders
2. 4.5 Backspace on the wheels
3. I had to do the standard CMC & hammer the pinch weld within my fenders
4. I get slight rubbing when I am at full lock only on my passenger side frame - its an alignment issue
5. These tires have been good for what I bought them for. I got married this year and knew I wouldn't be wheeling or off road to terribly much. So far the wear has been great, the road noise is non existent. They don't perform as well as I would like them to off road in wet or muddy conditions but everything else I have put them through seem to do just fine. I plan to go back to an MT for my next tire but will let these wear out till I make the jump. Looking at MTRs, Trepadors, or checking out the new stt pros. We'll see!

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

 

Thanks...

How are the 35s without regearing?

 

It's been fine for me! No issues as of yet, but it is a bit sluggish up hills. When the LT goes on ill be bumping up to 37's and ill be throwing 4.88s on the truck.

 

Your crazy 37s.... you just had to 1 up me.

 

im prob going to 38s......

 

Dude iv'e been wanting to do 37's even with Mid Travel - this sealed the deal for me. Specially because All-Pro's Long Travel kit moves the axle forward an inch. Should clear no problem after I have Cody @ 1/4 Tilt tube my firewall back!

 

Subb'd! Can't wait to see the Allpro LT kit installed and 37's!

 

Have fun with the bumpsteer
