Broker's 09 Tacoma Build

[AlienXtx]

What length of brake lines are you using? Mine are very close to being too short and they are already 3'' over stock. I also had to move some electric wire mounts to allow for my droop, e_locker harness. I've got around 17'' from top of axle tube to bump stop mount, any idea what that number normally is? Curious to see how much over stock im gaining.

And on a further note down the road, who makes rear frame box plates for the 05+ any body out there making cnc cut plates?

None, I made a bracket extinction tor the factory lines.

I will be going to the shop tomorrow. Should I bring the relocation plates or do you want me to drop 'em in the mail?

I'm going to see how it works out with the shims first. Once i flex it and see that I will need them I'll let you know. Thank you.

Love when the delivery man shows up.

 

[Anathollo]

Damn! Those are sexy!

Nice Broker. Are you planning to do inboard shocks like Larry is doing?

 

[Broker]

No they are still in the stock location for now. But that my change soon so I can get the full length of travel out of these things. They are def limiting my up travel right now. I may just ditch the upper mounts and make some taller ones. Would love to do a bed cage but I like my bed space and full LT with this truck isn't the direction I want to go with. I'll see how much these limit my up travel and go from there.
With the dakars I think Im going to need longer shackles to get the full travel out of them. It's kinda close now and it's almost got a bro lean so I think a longer shackle will fix both.

How long are you going to stay in Cali? An LT rig would fit in out there great.

I've been looking for a either a first gen Tacoma or pickup. But haven't found one in my price range to start an LT rig

Nice! Or buy one that was raced in the desert that still has a lot of life and a full roll cage!

Do you still have your stock bumpstops? Or have you upgraded?

 

[Broker]

Right now.. none but I'm extending my stocks for now should get around to it tomorrow. I never plan to seriously jump this truck so I'm not planning on getting any thing better. Even tho I've been eyeing up some air bumps then I would need the fronts and then wouldn't you I'd need LT to get full use out of those

I have Timbrens in the rear. I swear by the Wheelers bump stops!!! I have them up front and they are like having air bumps (ok well kinda!!! ).

 

[Lrgrnr]

Well if you don't need your stock rear bumpstops I would love to have them!

 

[Lrgrnr]

And on the note of a bed cage. I was wanting to do this bad. But it was gonna take more fab work and take up more bed space than the setup I chose and I still reached the same goal without having to upgrade shocks.

x2 on the SuperBumps. Love those things.

I saw your post earlier. I would have already sent them had I not given them away years ago.

 

[Silverback]

I'm running Timbrens out back and Wheelers up front... I'll say the Timbrens work good for towing but they are rough if you bottom out suddenly with an empty load. I do like the Wheelers up front though.
