March 10 through March 27, 2020: Finalizing Front Up-Travel (continued)Case in point, here is my Tacoma last year on the Rubicon. This is towards the bottom of the Big Sluice and is one of my favorite spots of the entire trail:
Because the front bumper was built prior to moving the front knuckles forward two inches, my up-travel is limited by the bumper...
It also prevents full steering lock to the side opposite compressed
Even without the bumper, more turn-in will cause interference to the cab
At this position, here is what that passenger front shock looks like. It's hard to tell from the pic but there is a good 3-inches of compression I'm missing out on, and 3-inches at the shock equates to nearly double at the tire, so we have an abundance of tasty up-travel waiting to be realized. The only question is how much cutting of the cab do I want to do...
