    03' dbl cab with some stuff
    Posting this ish everywhere.... Sorry not sorry :D

    Ok so the decision has been made to build up the black donor truck not the red on e for many reasons. So the red truck is being stripped and parted. The suspension is going as is the front diff and complete rear axle. Everything else is up for grabs. 3.4 is running great with fresh timing belts, water pump, tensioner etc, (has a gasket leak between cylinder 2-4, mechanic confirmed) frame has a ton of fab work and straight within Toyota specs. Frame woul be great for a longtravel truck. Trans and transfer very well maintained. 4x ecu, harness and all wiring etc available. Pretty much anything a 3.4 trd 4x4 dbl cab would have, minus suspension and diffs... Let me know. I know a bunch of u wanted parts but I don remember who cuz had some many text, pm and dm's asking lol

    Trying not to ship, prefer pick up or meet.

    image.jpg My crossover tube doesn't work anymore...any ideas for a new one? Should I go right over the sc nose??

    Old crossover went right where the pulley is, I thought about cutting it at both ends of the nose and bending a tube over the nose

    Looks good, but I would put a downward diagonal tube from the farthest corners against your cab, go down and in towards the frame rail. That will help keep those shock mounts from flexing upwards

    Could do a boxed plate brace over anywhere you wanted.

    That way you can make it fit over or around anything you want.

    I keep considering selling the Camburg kit to switch to the LSK kit. If it had been released before I purchased mine I would of definitely gone with theirs.
