Taco Sauce TX Pro Build: Custom LT, 37’s, Tundra Axle Swap, and now a Back Half?

That means you just gotta go faster to smooth it out haha.

 

Rough as in abrupt lol. Was bottoming the front with my compression adjusters cranked to full hard. A little digging though to smooth out the transition and this could be a big booter

 

Thanks man.

 

Sick build

 

Sweet build , I was wondering if you have noticed any issues with over heating the tranny with the 37’s ? Mainly in 4low ?

 

None yet, but really the only two times I’ve had it in 4low I haven’t put a ton of stress on it. One time was snow wheeling in deep powder so it was already plenty cold out to help cool things down. And the the first time I had it in the rocks was actually last weekend. It was cooler out and it was an easier trail and I barely got much above 1500-2k rpms. I do have the Trans cooler from Toyota that comes with the tow package and that helps a lot. Never had issues with overheating the trans the last few years on 35’s and I wheeled it hard during those years.

 

Only 7 months after bending the shit out of my old sliders, I finally finished chopping the old legs and plate off the frame. And to give the new sliders a fresh start, I did some 3/16” plate overlays down the frame. Rosette welded all the factory holes on the back side of the frame.



Next step will be to fold over that pinch weld so the new sliders can tick up nice and close.

 

Mmmm 1/4” beef. These suckers are gonna be strong and totally overkill.

No pictures of today’s progress but I got a rough weigh in at 85lbs a piece.

 

Off to paint.


Pretty-ish welds

 

BEEEEF!

 

Yeah that 1/4” wall is heavy!!!

 

hahaha I bet! Never gonna hurt those bad boys!

 

That’s the plan lol. Between that and the 3/16” plate along the whole frame, it should be pretty bomb proof

 

building a tank lol

 

And done. They’ve got a slight taper to make them stick out about an inch further in the back than the front. Kicked up at about 7.5 degrees. And bent the pinch weld back underneath the door seams to tuck them up about another inch than they could before.

 

Yeah our view sucks.
