For anyone who's interested!

 

I will see you there RJ!!!

 

BUMPP

 

Why does everyone clutter their bed with cages? I like the under bed challenge. Nothing in the bed but a spare. I see some ridiculous things people create with tube and most of it isn't in structurally critical areas.

 

Not talking shit, I know how much work gets put in to projects like these.Every time I do one I swear I'll never do it again, but that never happens. This is my 97, double cab bed on a extra cab. 24" in the back. 10 up 14 down and absolutely nothing in the bed, the bed unbolts and comes off. 14" shocks with no limiter so they're 15.5" of shaft, mounted 18" forward of the axle. Used a Tundra rear diff.

 

whut? explain please.

 

All the tubing adds strength. The stock frame and some shock hoops would not hold up very long on a linked truck being used very hard. Especially in big whoops. Ive seen quite a few well built full backhalfs break.

 

Relocated middle tubes so they weld into the frame and boxed the frame

 

do you have any under bed shots?
im confused how you dont have shocks going through your bed

 

looks like its a shock hoop angled toward the rear, and i think the shorter rod ends and placement in the wheel well may be how it doesnt poke through

 

Is that stock bedsides with mud flap still? How u run a tundra rear with stock bedsides? Is there a build thread on this truck somewhere or more pics? Very interesting

 

For the second gen peeps. What size is the UCA bolt nut?

Working with an incomplete wrench set.

 

19mm I think

 

The bolt head is, not the nut.

 

Weird...I don't remember using two different sizes to torque it down. Guess someone else will chime in. Sorry.

 

The long ass bolt? It's a 19...

 

Agreed. 3/4" also fits. I think the nut through the uniball is 7/8" or metric equivelent.

 

Theyre right. Stock nut and bolt head are 19mm.
