I wish they'd bring the falcon back

 

You sunuvabish you

The few CL pics look like decent metal fab work... don't go there for electrical though, that control panel looks doodoo and they're using Walmart brand equivalent components

 

Only getting my rear diff welded up for now




might get them to do cnc cutout of thick lbj brackets for the slug at a later date when I start thrashing 32s if they do good work

 

really surprised no local TW members jumped on the opportunity to help me and make some $ in the process

 

most of the ones local to you that I knew had fab skills (would have a welder) have been banned, something about the AZ sun bakes their brains and causes then to forget the COC

 

Cause we all thought welding the diff was a bad idea.

 

Shit, yeah I forgot they culled off a lot of that community during the uproar couple months ago and fighting with the mods. Good point

Just make this work

I’m sure those gears will be fine

 

People are free to think what they want. I'm the one whos put 40 k miles on it since purchase and know it

 

5.71s on a 5 lug, do it

 

5.71 holy hell.

Id hit rev limiter in first before hitting 5 mph

 

You ever driven a welded diff?

I havnt but know the stress it puts on the powertrain mounts, u joints, clutch, wheel bearings, increased turning radius, and increased tire wear is gonna be a no from me dawg if you're dailying it

I could have bought a welded ls 400 diff for 40 bucks but the dude was straight up with me and old me not to do it

 

Just sas

 

not yet, but i never drove a MT prior to the slug and here we are lol.


I have 30k on my current wildpeaks with decent tread left. But, the Az sun is rotting them out in between the treads. The sun here will kill my tires just as fast

 

my plan is to build the rear first, and if the locked rear isnt enough for me then go SAS. I have a feeling itll be enough and Ill do LT front tho

 

Wildpeaks are trash, an aquantince of mine has some and theyre dry rotted and worn to shit in 30k miles on his 3rd gen taco

A buddy of mine has had goodyear duratrecs and they've held up well, as well as the Yokohama geolandars I had on my tacoma I'd say
