1st Gen on 37's, Long Travel. Completion Date: TBD

Nice work bud.

 

Thanks man. Its definitely getting somewhere, hoping to have it desert ready around the new year

 

Amazing project ... subbed!!!

 

NOT perfect, but good enough for fiberglass. Driver will be done tomorrow.

 

Just read this whole build right now, impressive you started in 2012 haha good stuff currently getting LT soon looking at front set ups right now

 

Damn this is moving awesomely... So what do you do to afford this and how do I do it hahaha

 

What fiberglass did you go with ? And ditched the bed right ?

 

What rear kit . Man you really had those things cranked up, the bro lean was so real haha. They're down about half way now, man it's awesome at speed when off road. Holds a line and rides great, at low speeds it bucks. Especially on the streets, oh well . Curious if some adjustment up or down would help

 

lol I'm a retard, I confused you with another member I sold a rear TC kit too... my bad. Dude I was just checking out the Install pics !! Looks badass! I Dig the solo arms! lol and that's got to hear ! Yea I had em cranked lmao I needed help to clear my damn tires ! Lol. And the bucking will happen with a stock rear end, it just can't keep up with the front that's all. Happened to me, lol. Get the pucker moment yet before a rut or bump and then the front just soaks it up but the rear bounces you to the heavens? Adjustments could help, if you put em halfway down it and your truck is level I would leave it. Invest in some icon and 2.0s or something to help absorb some carnage

 

Yaaaa so I've expected and heard. I'd love to wait around for a good deal on lt shocks since that's what I want in the long run but might settle for some icons or Bilsteins for the rear at the right price. Gonna look at it more after xmas... Hopefully I'll stop looking at LT Baja bugs by then..... . Oh and my gawd the UCAs... There were issues with those.... Not to mention Firestone can't get an alignment right ugh lol.

 

Im a manufacturing engineer, just spend less and save for things you really want. Also, I started this whole thing almost five years ago and have the advantage of having all the tools i need to do it and a garage to do it in.

Its the 8" Fiberwerx. Even with the axle and spacers it is still wider than the tires.
Correct, no bed. the shocks, bumps, shackles, and other stuff would have hit it. So now the plan is to do something like the ttmotorsport tacoma and make a trunk.

 

Nice man, good to see it coming together. Hopefully we can get our trucks together at a meet up soon

 

for sure! still trying to track down a vibration above 70, have a feeling i need new tires sooner than later

 

@SanClemTaco Is that a tundra rear? What would you charge to set pinion angle and weld perches onto a tundra axle for me?

 

It is a tundra rear end.

Sorry, but i don't feel comfortable doing this type of work on someone else's vehicle. If something goes wrong, all blame lies on me and its not worth it for an effectively nominal amount of money.
That said, Ill be more than happy to walk you through how its done. But, setting a pinion is a huge amount of work; leaf packs need to be broken down, the suspension needs to be cycled over and over, among other things.
Even doing all that i still managed to set my pinion a degree too high and need to get two degree spacers to fix this.

The pinion is the last thing set, leafs need to be mounted to cycle everything. If the leafs are a bit too far forward a custom driveshaft may be necessary to have enough plunge to not bottom out.

 

I'm going to pm you so your build doesn't blow up

 

So this happened...thank you annual bonus.

 

I wish I would get that kinda bonus

 

lol. trust me, the bonus did not pay for all that. just made it happen sooner than later

 

The biggest bonus I've gotten is a Christmas present from work 150 bucks hahah
