    I have solo motorsports 3" fabricated lift spindles- I'm gonna sell those to fund the conversion. They're like 1k. I'm gonna miss them... they're beefy as hell. But solo does make a 4wd fully fabbed spindle now too so I'll probably swap out for those down the line. Seeing how dinky a stock spindle is scares me hahaha

    Does the spindle encorperate the factory wheel hub or do they run their own?

    If they use the factory wheel hubs u can probably run those spindles with tundra cvs. Just guessing though you'd have to measure.

    Actually looking at the sindle u might be able to use stock cvs u would just need to put the manual hub in the knuckle if it's possible. I'm not sure what the other side of the your knuckle looks like

    I'd have to see it in person and like I said I'm just guessing im realivily new to 4x4

    They're lift spindles so they relocate the wheels lower. The cv axle wouldn't line up to the hub. I'll have to use a shorter spindle (stock or those solo motorsports 4wd ones)

    I wish I could keep those spindles :rolleyes:

    Yes I'm new to this all too!

    Added some new grill lights before I do my satoshi grill and added a trans cooler/trans service today. Seems to keep the trans way cooler. Found out my buddy isn't going to be able to trade diffs and the drive shaft I have is the wrong kind so kind of a set back. If anyone knows someone with either a automatic front drive shaft and or a front diff with 4.10s please let me know

    I completed my "deck plate mod" yesterday and I am very happy with it. I have deffinatly noticed a large improvement in throttle response. I wished I would have done it before. I enjoy driving the truck a little more now which is what it's all about imo

    Hey guys it's been awhile since I updated this so I figured I'd add my recent upgrades

    -Arb single compressor mounted in engine bay
    -paranoid below headunit switches with dorman rocker switches.
    -rear wrap around tube bumper with 2x led pods
    -modified bed/rear fender well
    -285/75/16s Falcon Wildpeak A\T3W
    -changed subs to kickers
    -changed sub enclosure
    -icon custom valved 9.5 rear shocks
    -side marker and lower front lights are now both led switch backs and function as DRT and turn signal.
    -deck plate mod
    -I have my BAMF shock relocation kit sitting in my garage because my fabricator is going through some stuff and doesn't have time. So grumbling it's not on yet lol
    -BAMF lower control arm skids
    I feel like I'm forgetting stuff but I'll add when I ad pics tomorrow.
    Thanks for reading guys. I was looking at some other build thread s and man I gotta step my game up here lol.

    Hope everyone's doing well
