Damn looks good.

 

Anyone have their stock lower shock bolt and nut for the lca? Looking for both sides.

 

go to a hardware store lol

 

It would be hard to find one with the right shank/size

 

go to marshals hardware they will have it.

 

anbody know of anyone selling tundra or tacoma rear axle shafts with drum brake assembly? trying to finish my tundra axle build just need drum brakes

 

just replace the bolt/nut completely.

 

Yes I do. Need both?

 

How's everyone doing solid body mounts with cages.

If at all. I didn't do em Yet and im debating on cutting em off and making new brackets, or just plate the cage to cab in alot of places

 

Solid mount that shit and forget about it. I know a lot of guys don't but you putting stress on the cab and have seen 2nd gens split at the back door. I used aluminum

 

@JuansTaco ^^^

 

Also can weld a brace from cab to cage.

 

My cage is plated to the cab also. My solid mounts were put in before the cage was plated to the cab.

 

Are you talking about the cracks inside the rear door frame ?

 

Yeah

 

I need to drill my wheels for 5/8 studs, can I do it with a regular drill bit or should I wait and use a 11/16 reamer? I have the drill bit already so was thinking of trying tonight.

 

Any idea how to fix it ? I've had a 07 and now a 08 and they both have this issue.

 

solo was fixing one the last time I was there so id talk to them. Bobby said those cracks are from beating on it and the body flexing. Maybe look into solid or Poly mounts to keep it from getting worse.

Edit- I would do solid mounts and tig weld the cracks up. But I like to feel every vibration and pebble in the road

 

Think it would help to drill a small hole in the end to stop the spread ?

 

Yessir. That should keep it from spreading
