Tube Chassis?

 

I know guys

 

let me try again....

Just go Tube chassis????

 

I know you know
I’ll go tube chasis if you help me build it and we use your space
I live in a strict HOA and in a house that doesn’t conceal a generator and welder well


And
Selling off parts even brand new mint parts is a huge pain right now

 

Tube chassis confirmed. I see one.

 

Guess that depends on your definition of what tube chassis is. In the race truck world this would be a frame rail truck.

 

That’s a polite name for scrap metal

 

haha - when it's completed I mean..

 

I’m not sure how far under the cab he will cut off for the trailing arms and back half to begin but I think center mount suspension is out of my price range based on the parts my builder prefers to use

and I’m sure 55’s will change how a DBSB behaves in the rear too
Cause I think those DD links would have kept things very predictable while also outta the cab

 

4x4 center mount is ridiculously expensive on a Tacoma build. Having the 4x4 xlt kit's 18-19" of travel will work good if each other part of the truck is set up to work well.

I did the same, getting a lot of stuff off diyoffroad.com and adding to it.

 

Any special brand heims you guys run? I’m going to replace the 2 on my rear panhard that seem to have excessive play. Just going to go with some FK stuff but if there is anything out there even better?

Looks like emf is not selling heims currently.

 

Is that an LSK kit or solo

 

Solo

 

FK are used on race trucks

 

Went to take off my driver side axle nut and was about to unbolt it when I realized it was hand tight. Should I be worried or nah
