SMKYTXN'S 2011 DCFBFTMFW Solid Axle Swap

Here is a good perspective of that obstacle.

 

Thanks for that Brad. The video I posted makes it look like a little v-notch. lol

 

Took me a minute to realize your video was the butthole. Looked too flat...lol. Full widths make that obstacle look easy. Toyota axles have to find the perfect line.

 

That was my first time out at K2 with my rig, so every trail was new to me. I'm ready to go back though.

 

My second time. Makes me really wish for a crawlbox.

Here's another angle of the butthole.

Is that some trail rash I see behind the back door? Already putting on battle scars!

 

She has a few battle scars, only one from last weekend though. The ding you saw happened on Chaos Canyon at Barnwell Mountain. I had Total Chaos in the rig with me, hence the TC decal on the ding.

 

You going to have the beast ready for the April 7th Coffee and Cars??????

 

Well...she'll be ready, but she won't be in Texas at that time. I'm headed to Alabama for Mardi Krawl on the 4th and will be driving back on the 7th.

 

Can't wait to see this thing @ Jambo!

 

She should be pretty much done at that point. The cage will be in as well as the new seats.

I should cut a new decal for the hood, and maybe the one on the door that got scraped off by a rock.

Id like to hear how you plan to defeat the Airbag BS.... love the taco, Seats suck.

 

Disable it? Or remove the bags completely

 

This if it's getting a cage and racing seats. Usually need to remove them out of the headliners anyways to tuck the cage up nice and tight. Unless he is going exo

 

I just unplugged everything from the airbag ecu under the center console.

The cage is a kit, so it's not tucked up to the roof line. Let's face it, in a hard roll the truck body is going to be toast. The cage is there to let me walk away and build something else from the parts.

 

What kit for the cage? I've looked and the only one I've found is the 4xinnovations one. Tried reaching out to them on 3 separate occasions to get more pics and details on it and never got a response. Was hoping to use it as a starting point and then add tubes to make it safer for more of a high speed roll

 

Yup, the 4x kit is the only out there that I know of. I'm taking pictures as I'm putting it in and will post my findings when I'm done. I'm headed out of town today, but should have most of it wrapped up next week.
