Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

I was more than generous and I was still over. But my issue was due to the constant adjustment of “oh, I forgot that” to “crap, I had to do this because I did that” or “I want that more” mentality.

At the end of the day, the builder is the only person who will understand the sweat, stress, and pain with building one. Especially with a turn key built from the home garage.

 

Wish I could be a tiny bit lower but I think its a reasonable compromise. If i can make the steering fit, the limit of up travel will be the u-bolt plate/u-bolts meeting the frame. At that point the spring is 2.5 -3" negative so I probably don't need to hunt for any more lol.

 

Who’s got some engine cage photos? Need to get after mine since the rad support is cracked. This is probably a good place to start getting some motivation.

 

Check both my builds under my name. My white truck I did one. The red 4 door I did one as well tied to a cab cage. The red extra cab is the same idea as the 4door.

 

Will do! I’ve been following your work on Instagram, getting lots of good ideas!

 

How elaborate do you want to get? Here is what I did on my old silver double cab. Everything was mounted on tube even the headlights, grill, radiators

 

Just gotta say......... That's some nice work!

 

He's back!

 

Eh kinda, in a 3rd gen now but itching for a project truck. Not sure what yet

 

Glad you replied to this, your old truck is the goal eventually haha. That’s exactly what I want to do, but I’m not ready for full interior cage yet.. so just planning how to build the engine cage and leave it easy to tie into once the interior cage comes.

 

Anyone with air bumps running Perry Parts Hydro Silencer noticed a noise impact reduction and did the compression length changed at all compared to the derin pads?
