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

Very good idea and design.

 

I copied a product that sells for $450. But theirs only has about 18" of vertical travel. Mine has 30"

 

nice man! lookin good!

 

Testing the recent valving changes. Getting better for sure. Gonna make some adjustments to the bypasses before a trip to the dunes in a few weeks

Last few tweaks to the mx hauler and its level of sketchiness went down from moderate to minimal. Even survived a 60mph test drive. I'd say it's ready for a 1300 mile road trip in two weeks with speeds of 85-90 likely to happen.

 

Not a truck mod, but this happened yesterday.

 

Congrats man!

 

Thanks!!!

 

Congrats!!

 

Final deep cleaning and race prep before next weekends road trip and shenanigans. With 120k miles of abuse, she's starting to show some signs of wear and tear. Hopefully with the dd arriving in 2 weeks next year will bring time to start addressing some of them.

 

The only two shots I have from this past weekend so far. Had a couple of drones with our group so hopefully they will put together a video soon.

 

Badass pics! Can’t wait to see the video

 

That's exactly what i've been wanting! something like that is perfect, because you can still use the tailgate as an extension! Brilliant Wish you were closer i'd love to have one.

Did you buy this made somewhere? or was it something you made? I have access to a waterjet too so I can always make one, but an off the shelf one is much easier.

Nice build thread, I don't know how I missed it!

 

Thanks. Unfortunately the dual action tire gate is gone. Doing more high speed, rough desert stuff, it just wasn't sturdy enough to hold the 35" spare. I'm sure I could have started over and come up with a better design, but decided to change things up. As for the bottle opener, I bought it for like $5 online. If you search for it there are several companies selling them

 

Thanks for the info! Yeah i'm gonna have to borrow that design, I love that. I'm in the northeast so no high speed stuff for me, just crawling lol

 

It would be perfect for that. Just too much weight and leverage for how the truck was being used.

 

i'd imagine! your rig is built!

 

lol thanks. Wasn't planning on going this far when I built that bumper and then did basically right when I finished it. Live and learn and gain more experience. Seems like I'm always changing something.

 

There’s always something to improve on!!

 

Exactly. Now that the truck is this built and I have a dd a roll cage is on the to do list. Just going to wait until spring when I don't have to worry about snow and can tear the truck apart for a little while
