- After MONTHS of working on my 2014 Toyota Tacoma, I finally got out to Barstow to test the BEST Mid Travel Setup.
Well, almost the best that is. After a day of running the truck through the desert, I still see a few areas that I can improve to make the truck handle even better!
If you like the video, make sure you stay tuned for what we have coming up this desert season. Until then, enjoy the videos that are already on the channel.
Don't forget rear bump stops. Even a foam bump will be much smoother for a bottom out. Stock rubber it harsh.
Bump stops is definitely on the list! Some nice king cans will look so good back there 🤤
I was about to say that
Been waiting for this video..
Good job filming the actual parts doing it’s job as it should for mid travel. I agree with you about the rear end.. more content coming soon…
Got the “behind the scenes” video dropping Thursday. I think it’ll compliment this video very well
I have a 2nd gen Mid-Travel Tundra now. I want a 2nd gen Taco so bad. Great action shots 🤙
Next on the chopping block should be fitting hydro bumps in the rear or up front especially since your working with limited up travel you will be able to soften the shock up and have that bump catch all the big stuff
Bumps in the rear is definitely on my list! Gotta start saving tho
I have a 3rd gen and I'm getting a similar setup. sick truck!!
You’re gonna love it! Stoked for you!
hows the build going bro
Was wondering if you had a full build list of the Tacoma from this video
I am about to do the same thing
Thanks
This video is a tad bit dated. A few new things have been added since and I will be recording a final updated video after I get the last couple pieces added on! If you want a full list tho hmu on ig and we can chat
I wonder if double sheer on the coil buckets would still be worth it on mid travel.
It's awesome seeing the coilovers working, and watching the stresses on the mounts.
Next step with the build is strengthening, bumps, and straps
Dude the front moves
She boogies man! You saw how much GoPro footage I got that day. Most of it was unusable just cause of how smooth the front is now. It looked like it wasn’t doing anything haha
great footage of shocks in action 👍🏾🔥
looks like your hitting your line to your resi brodie!
Yeah I noticed that when I installed the spindles and wasn’t sure when or how it started haha. Not sure if I nicked it when removing something or if the UCA is eating at it
You should install front king hydraulic bump stops
Hey bro I have a 2nd gen Tacoma as well and I was wondering if you took off the front plastic guard on the front wheel wells? I’m thinking about taking mine off instead of trying to trim it up.
Great vid btw love the truck
Here ruclips.net/video/nDBptuWsWf4/видео.html check out this video I posted a month ago. It’ll show you the exact trimming I’m running right now. But it’s practically like having it ripped out.
@@desertdime thanks man I appreciate it a lot!
@@JmoneyTheGreat66 No problem man
Did you install wheel spacers in the rear with those smooth bodies like it recommended? Or have you had no issues running no spacers ?
Yeah I’m running 1.25” wheel spacers. I tried to get away without them but it was less than a fingers space between the tire and shock. More details on the instal video
How the turning without the sway bar ? Wanna take mine out but people say its risky . I have the same front build ass u thats why i ask
I avoided taking it out for 5 years cause of that same fear but dude tbh I barely noticed a difference (unless it’s a drastic turn obviously) but trust me when I say it’s never going back on haha
Would the rear be better with deaver rear leaf springs ?
I have the deavers and they’re definitely beneficial.
How fast where you going bro on the whoops 😅 mph!?
~45-50
How’s the difference in handling without the Sway bar? Loving the build!!
Let’s just put it this way. Im mad at myself for not taking it out sooner! It’s literally never going back on this truck 🤙🏼
@@desertdime damn! definitely inspiring me to boot that sway bar now lol I’m just all scared of the on road handling but your front travel looks insane!!!
@@MH831 trust me that’s all I was scared of too. But hey the upside is that you can always throw it back on if you don’t like it
@@MH831 I drive a Chevy but one of my bushings was demolished so I took it out (I’d been planning to so it gave me a reason) and I love it. I know it’s not exactly the same, but for me it doesn’t feel unsafe at all around corners. Just more flowey
@@Cube_Smith Sweet, Im convinced, Im gonna remove it next time i have to take my wheel off for any reason lol
What desert is this?? Where located!?
Barstow
Is that really a 2wd !!!!
Sure is! You diggin the 2wd or are you about say that it’s ass cause it’s not 4wd 😂
@@desertdime I am digging it bro sick Tacoma fr !!!
@@3RDGENPAPI I appreciate that! Nice to see some 2wd appreciation
Your truck is never really done
