TACUNDRA - 5.7L 3URFE swapped 2nd gen project

Love it haha! There's definitely easier ways to notch a tube with an angle grinder though! Instead of cutting two V's, cut the end into a =V= (the = being the tube you are mounting to the end.) they will fit in almost perfect. If that makes any sense. There are videos on how to do it on youtube

 

I should have never stopped making videos. smh

 

I like the way you did that bumper. Would be awesome to do something like that with mine to get lessen the approach angle some it looks like you did quite a bit.

 

If that tundra is a 4wd you should look into swapping the front diff and rear diff. The front is a 9" and the rear is a 10.5" much more skookum than our little wimpy ones.

 

LOL Thats just how I've always done it. I'll have to check that out! Thanks for the tip.

 

Oh I know. But I already shelled out the money for RCV's Ultimate CV axles in the front and a 10.5" GM 14 bolt rear (that I'm swapping to 6 lug and installing now). The only way I'd use the Tundra stuff is if I could also use the front hubs and make the whole truck 5 lug which I'll look into since I have a whole truck here to experiment with. Oh and btw, this Tundra is smashed pretty hard - the front stub shaft carrier (not sure if thats the proper name for it) is broken. I should post a video of the Tundra. It's really hurt!

 

I've had that crazy idea turning but need a vehicle I can crawl all over with a tape and get all the measurements.

 

what a sick build and so close to me! i'm in Lebanon only about an hour away!

 

Thanks! I'll have 4 trucks at Motorama in the speed show if you happen to be there. Feb 16 and 17. And I have a used car dealership just outside the Carlisle fairgrounds called Red Circle Performance. If you're ever in the area, stop by.

 

I gotta check my calendar! I'll def stop by if i'm around!

 

Cool man. I dig it. Subscribed to your channel. The cab mount relocation vid was pretty damn cool.

 

Not bashing, just thought it might make your life a little easier!
