Solid Axle Swap BS Thread

Damn right we got your back buddy. We all make mistakes and I'm certainly one of them. Now get to work and make this thing a beast

 

I've been on these boards since my street racing days about 2000/2001 and it's always been that way.

I've probably run into a dozen of the shit talkers over the years. Most of them are barely worthy of a laugh. They're usually some inbred goofy looking fuck, some bitch with fucked up bitch of a wife, crack head, something like that. There's always a reason they have so much hostility and can't find a place to express it other than the perceived safety of the internet. Back then it pissed me off. A lot. Even fucked a couple people up at races because of it. Now I just laugh. Pathetic fucks.

 

100% agree with this whole post

 

Exactly! TW is about having a great time, and helping each other out. If you don't want to contribute to this fella getting his basket case back in order, go catch yourself a case of the go fuck yourself, and be gone.

 

@slander

 

sounds like you got a good plan and what to me isn't a bad deal, from being around another hacked up second gen quite a few times I almost wanna say its easier to fix a hack job than to start from stock. You got this!

 

you on the solid axle thread?? you gonna be cutting stuff up?!

 

Gonna be awhile....been keeping my eye out for a good deal on axles. Wanting an 08' f250 set

 

nice dude

 

I thought it was common knowledge to check something out fully before you hand the check over.

Sorry i have not been monitoring the thread all day lol, ive been working on wrapping up my axle swap, feel free to click the link and comment....

 

I'll pass but thanks for the invite.

 

How bout some good ole truck porn. Almost there hopefully driving it middle
Of next week.




@SGTCap to had the truck wasn't what you thought but it sounds like you have a good plan. I have a hard on for flat beds and have been compiling photos of ones I like. These are two of my favorites.

 

I kind of like each of those flatbeds.

It's to bad that there are so many hacks involved with offroad rigs ("Pro/Paid" and Amateur/Personal)

I knew my buggy wasn't ideal and had some things I would do differently. Once I broke some parts and new slightly different parts were different, it snowballed quickly down to a frame-off rebuild that will be done eventually.

 

I love that first flatbed. My girlfriend sent it to me earlier. The side boxes are definitely part of my plan. if you've seen my other Tacoma, I have a ting for tool boxes

 

Looking great! Been following the progress of your truck on IG.


Better watch out for them long links though....

 

Personally Im not a fan of flat beds. I think they look out of place. A truck with a bed or at least bedsides will always look better/cleaner. I was so happy to cut mine off and get my bedsides hung.

 

So on my leaf spring sas I keep getting a weird thud sound under my feet on the driver and passenger side of the truck when I take a corner or the body rolls a little. Does anyone know what this could be? It's starting to drive me crazy.

 

I think it really depends on the truck, and the quality. I don't think I've ever seen a nice one in person just online! I think in your case, yes your truck looks better with the bed sides.

 

I get the same noise. Pretty positive mines the tie rod ends flipping from turning.
