    Currently I’m going run the stock Tacoma rear end. The 2nd gen Tundra rear end with the 10.5 ring gear would be a good option but the WMS - WMS is 72” I believe and the Taco is only 66”. It would like a little strange driving along haha. And minus the 5 lug to 6 conversion.

    Other option is to find a Ford 9” or a fabricated housing. Still thinking on what I want to do down the road.

    So sell me your 37s and get some 40s. Then we’re both have what we want.

    I would look into a fabricated housing. Your plans of 37’s put you in “no man’s land” as I like to call it. 37’s are not big enough for 1ton running gear and stressing out 1/2 ton drivetrain.

    I fought that for years. Finally I just went 1 ton/40’s and never looked back.

    My front axle is a custom Solid Industries with a 10 ton truss (went way overboard). Rear is a GM AAM axles out of a 2005 GM 2500 gasoline truck.

    If I were to build another off-road rig again:

    LS

    atlas 3.8 (have 4.3)

    fabricated 9/10


    Then again, my stuff just sits anymore. Probably should sell it and get a CTS-V (or maybe a Z06) and have fun track days again. Then look for an imported LC70.


    I just need to paint and toss on the skins, test out my revalve on the kings. Just haven’t had time.

    LS Swap with RSG Tranzilla, Custom hi clearance front bumper, Relentless: Slider's, bed rails, rear bumper, Prinsu with 40" BD s8. Dirt Designs 3.5 LT. Archive Garage rear towers/shackle flip/SUA. King Air bumps. King LT Coilovers in front. King 12x2.5 in rear. ARB rear air locker and twin compressor. SCS f5's with 33" Ridge Grapplers. 20" S8 mounted in bumper, squadron sport fog lights, squadron pro backup lights, LP6's bumper mounted.
    with a 3.5” lt kit and offset wheels my tire is only a couple inches in the fender well anyways so I wouldn’t worry about it at all considering how much steel is actually in that corner, it’s like three layers in there on the outside. @Camazon ive got a 10.5” you can have if you buy the brakes. I’ve talked to moser engineering about redrilling the axles which isn’t very expensive and have the rotors done at the same time. They could also shorten them if you want I’m sure, then you would just need to have the housing shortened. Should still be cheaper than having an axle made and would be plenty strong but still have cable ebrake and Toyota speed sensors.

    I figured the redrilling of the axles wouldn't be crazy expensive. Having the speed sensors would be nice to have as it's a plug and play vs switching the wires around under the dash.

    Offroad Designs SYE arrived today. I wasn’t expecting it to be heavy as it is.

    Though a minor inconvenience has occurred when my knee met an immovable object while skiing at the weekend. I’m waiting to hear if it’s a scratch or breakage/ligament damage.
    So the build will be on pause for a wee bit while I deal with that and fix my daily which also decided to die a few hours before this incident happened.
    :annoyed:

    Cannot "like".

    See, this is why you snowboard. :D All jokes aside, I would swap back and fourth from ski's and board. Doing some back country skiing I had some "incidents" like this. Hopefully you are just bumped and bruised. I had ACL replacement 2.5 months ago. Surprisingly I have had minimal pain through the whole process.

    And what are you, 5'5"? Crutches look a little bottomed out.:rofl:

    Haha soon I hope to be back at it.

    Well funnily enough this was the first day back on ski's since I started boarding. Normally it's the mountain biking that gets me with the injuries. Yea me too. Hopefully it's just a flesh wound and couple of weeks of chill.

    :rofl:no definitely not. I'm borrowing some crutches from a buddy and he's like 6'3''/6'4'', no idea on my height but at a guess 5'10''ish. But it retrospect it does look like I'm tiny

    What's the chances I would say that? Go figure.

    Same here on the mountain bikes and Motocross. I sold my KTM 450 and this past year sold my Santa Cruz Tall Boy C. Getting too old for bouncing off the ground so hard.

    These sports just suck a tonne of $$$ into them. Haha this LS build has been quite the spontaneous decision, time will tell to see if I'm happy with it.

    It's a lot easier for me to just pull the tcase apart while everything is in bits so that's why I'm doing it. I don't know if driveline shops up here will pill the tcase and split it.

    After a bit of a hiatus, I'm back working on the build. The first item to be ticked off was the pivot kit install which was my first time welding which turned out alright.
    Then cut all the non-essential mounts - engine/ transmission/ rear leaf mounts off. I ran out of gas so all that's left now is to tack the SUA perches on and then I'm ready for the cab to go back on.
