    Hey guys, I’m currently rebuilding a trd off-road axle to swap under my sr5 to get its locker, going to clean it all up and steel-it coat it, so i figured while its out it would be a perfect time to truss it as well! May be overkill but i think it would be worth the work.
    So my question is, has anyone actually trussed they’re toyota real axle? I havent seen any kits available so looking for ideas or company’s that make them!
    Thanks!

    Yeah i will be doing it myself and i am equipt to do it, I’d just like to find either options that can be adapted or design ideas to start from scratch!

    If you aren't rigidly fixturing this, aren't you worried the tubes will move? That's a lot of heat input
