Thanks! i welded it up tonight!
I made a "rookie mistake" though lol. I wasnt too conservative with my heat, where i was welding, and how long i waited between welds and the SOB warped.

So 20 minutes of hammering with a rubber mallet and trying to align holes i finally got it to mount back onto the frame. Everything is still perfectly square, just one mount warped.

Now my issue lies in the way of paint. i was originally going to hang it off this think i slapped together and paint it, but i dont think thats an option anymore due to the fact that the threads that the bolts go on cant take much more of a beating. So i might just paint it on the truck and hope for the best.

 

Just wrap front in painters plastic and have at it!

 

the bumper i had was build off a truck with glass so it lined up when it was on a truck with figerglass finders not stock.. check my build for how i mounted my bumper.. i made new bumper mounts on my truck since the screws were so outtta shape. go check it out. OR you get a plasma cutter and make the holes a tad bigger so it doesnt hit the threads.

 

Good job!

 

thanks! and thanks for the advice on the wire wheel lol, after i was done i had wires sticking out of my pant legs and shirt sleeves

 

Got the final 2 welds done, ends capped, and bumper painted! Now i just need the skid plate and tabs. What thickness should i go and where should i buy the aluminum? Got my UCAs and still waiting for the dang coilovers.......


I just called the company about my coilovers and they forgot to ship them :\ they are overnighting them and should be here monday

 

1/4 inch

 

has anyone seen a supercharger for my 05 tundra? i keep finding a site, but it is pretty much a dead link.

 

4.7l right. Pretty sure there is a TRD one for it.

 

right coryy. i believe i checked out the trd site, and didn't see a charger for my tundra. ahhhh i hate not knowing this shit, i need to know whats the biggest coil over, and biggest bypass i can run in the front of my truck so i can get more travel.

 

Build an engine cage and have custom shock mounts off that. It's only $$$

 

Ha ya I wish. I'll just get some 3.0 bypass for the front

 

I agree with cory. U would be better off not relying on stock mounts for the abuse you give it

 

jeez... i thought it was october. it was freaking 90+ today in ojai.

did all kinds of gen. maitenance on the truck today and was sweating balls all day... stupid so-cal weather

probably should have gone, that would have been an awesome game to watch. had a party to go to though ha oh well

 

should i hook my pa speaker up to my amp? or just run it straight to the cb? also a good cb antenna with a mount, any ideas?

 

as going to instal them tonight but i am lacking in the tool called the pickle fork....

 

You don't need a pickle fork that's for removing ball joints but you can substitute with a BFH. Just loosen the nut then thread it back on the other way then hammer up really hard

 

this this this!!! ask anthony and i how we know.. passenger side was pretty easy, driver side took about 100 hits if not more.
