Mornin ya'll

 

Morning, your wife let you off easy last night?

 

Yea after I explained what we did and after a shaved ice it was all good!

 

As a supervisor I think you went above and beyond, well done, sir




Here are the pics I took

 

Nice and thanks Alex

 

Had a blast yesterday @LostHusker. Appreciate you having me out Mark! Look forward to next time.

on a side note, anyone have the roller for sound deadening? Thinking I let someone borrow mine and never got it back. Want to get these boxes off my shelf so going to do my back wall and floors today

 

@05prerun82 and @MattCowsmasher helped me with this yesterday



Drawers aren't quite finished, yet. Just need to finish the slides

 

All I did was help make y’alls fridges a little lighter.

 

You did start with making them heavier though lol

 

Only way it should be done.

 

We need to do it again I’m getting ideas for the backseat.

 

Def man, thanks for coming out

That looks nice

 

Quite nice!

 

Here's the swing-out thread we talked about yesterday -

And the diff drop thread -

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/remove-the-differential-drop-on-your-05-tacoma.118545/

It's a bit of a read but the gist is that puck-style 1" diff drops lower your diff an inch but you gain less than 1/4" of drop for the CV's. The drops also rotate the diff. Any impact from the front (a rock, road debris, etc) is no longer being absorbed by the crossmember, but is being transferred to the diff. The diff gives and becomes rather intimate with your oil pan.

If you're just DD'ing with them, you'll probably be fine as long as you don't hit anything, but they're really not doing much to help your CV's.

 

We talked a bit about this yesterday but basically I'm on the long road to building something like this

Thanks, Mark

Thanks, Kurt

 

You need a dedicated truck to build this

 

He has one. It's his daily lol
