Trigo’s long travel limo build

Scored a solid deal on a tundra axle and spare bedsides thanks to @FlapJack935 !



If I would’ve realized you were selling those bypasses too I would’ve grab them while I was at it I just saw the DR thread and I was like fuuuuuuuck haha

 

can always ship them!

 

Finished up the tundra axle swap today at work since it was slow !

 

Love the stance, awesome truck. Do you know if it's possible to change the wheel bearings on the SOLO spindles, or do we have to have them service them?

 

i noticed you take alot of pics right there on that strip. you work off wing ave?

 

i work right off cypress so I usually swing by there to take pics since its usually a quiet street to snap a couple of pics !

 

Got new headlights and have a new grill coming on Monday. My current grill is held in by zip ties and I’m tired of having to cut them every time I have to pull the grill off lol Trying to clean up the truck little by little 6 years as a daily / work truck I let a lot of little things slide.

 

Also ordered AVD (glassworks) 7” bedsides so those should be ready the week after Christmas. I’ve read a lot of good things of AVD since they rebranded and I’m hoping to not go through the old glassworks horror stories. Gonna be ordered McNeil 6” front fenders next week hopefully!

 

welp I guess my deal on those goodies fell through.

 

Subbed because badass truck and local San diegan

 

Regeared to 4.56’s. Definitely noticed the power difference but time will tell if I should’ve gone 4.88’s.

 

Were you 3.89 prior to that?

 

did you pay or do it yourself?

 

Not sure whatever came with the tundra axle stock.

Did it myself but I just swapped another complete diff.

 

Should be stamped on the ring gear. That's what my Tundra diff has. Did it feel very different?

 

i think that axle had 3.91s or 3.93s, glad you could swap it out easy, i always read it was a pain

 

Super easy - drain gear oil, pull shafts out just enough to let go of the third without removing brake lines (they bend if you remove enough clamps) and let them rest on top of jack stands or ratchet strap them in place (you don't even have to do that if you aren't concerned about them resting on the oil seals), remove diff, clean mating surface, reapply silicone, replace with new diff. Old diff may take a few whacks with a mallet.

 

i read the housings were different on the t100 and tundra axles compared to the normal taco housings, so swapping out a 3rd wouldnt work cause they say the ring gear on the t100/tundras are bigger so theres fitment issues or something.
