Taco Sauce TX Pro Build: Custom LT, 37’s, Tundra Axle Swap, and now a Back Half?

Wired up to the chase lights for now. Probably change that later on. Chase lights are at least easily disconnected if I want the flag to pop more

 

Wow! I just scrolled your entire build! Your truck has seen a shit load of mods and cool places. Nice work, hats off to you doing all your own fab work too! I dig your truck

 

Thanks man. It’s been a fun time the last 10 years

 

Crazy to think we've had these things for that long huh. So many good times and lots of learning. I was just thinking about that the other day working on the truck getting all these big item things all finished up. Like.. it took me 10 years to figure out my plan and get a rear bumper. Patience is key.

 

Haha I just do what I want in the heat of the moment it seams.

Suspension went 5100’s, then bamf relocation in the rear, then blew out the front 5100’s and did kings and uca’s, then lt front which lasted one week before ordering the rear, then tuning shit for the last 4 years before redesigning the rear.

on my third set of sliders

2nd rear bumper but changed it up 3 times since initially building it. 2nd front bumper


Yeah these trucks are awesome.
Cant wait to be on the lakebed at KOH tomorrow

 

Oh definitely.. it took me many renditions and changes to figure out what I wanted. But the payoff is worth it.

 

Too busy having fun at KOH to get too many pics but here’s what I got. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZyDSCIrU6a/

and @nd4spdbh or anyone else out there that weekend lose their rev limiter? I seemed to have found one around Friday/Saturday night and let my inner yota free lol

 

Awesome that you met up with the WFO guys. Hopefully they are doing a video. Looks like you had a blast there. Keep looking for the owner of that rev limiter, someone will want it.

 

Lololol. Musta been the jeep guys we were with!

The little video posted by the wfo guys

 

Hell yea! bummed we didn't make it out there this year ! Metcho was telling me about this.

 

It was insane haha. Can’t wait for next year

 

So... did ya win?

 

Why Tundy rear and not Dana or Ford 9 or whatever?

 

It wasn’t a race but yea I think we won

 

Thought I’d save money, keep it toyota, be a little different, and the width is perfect for matching the front

 

Did it save you any money?

What did you do for a solution on 5 lug to 6 lug axles?

Locker?

Were you able to keep your parking brake?

 

Price depends but I was able to pick mine up really cheap due to high miles. I rebuilt it anyways so didn't matter.

 

Axle was $900 after shipping, but all said and done it was over $5k. It was in rough shape and had to rebuild it all.

Weld the old holes in and have a machine shop drill the 6 lug pattern.

Harrop e locker and 5.29 gears

could have probably adapted the parking brake to work but the backing plates were so rusted on the donor axle that I just ditched them. Wasn’t gonna pay $500 for backing plates to keep the parking brake

 

$5k, good night.

What's the WMS width?

Did you keep ABS?
