    Dumb question. But when doing rear glass do you have to cut your current bedsides off? Or how does that work exactly?

    I have mcneil glass all the way around. and as the tundra axle i had one but didnt want to convert to discs so i sold it to a buddy in cali who wanted to do it

    yep its a major PITA, luckily one of the local members had a bed they took off to cage their entire truck so i got it for free

    Don't you just have to cut the top seam?? Or is it all the way around?

    And discs? Tundras should be drum. Same thing as our axles just 6" wider

    just the top seams on the sides but its still a PITA

    and ya the drums were all messed up and i didnt want to have to get my drums put on the other axle so i said f it.

    the guy i got it from is a fabricator at SDHQ and he was going to convert it to discs as some do for racing but i decided it was too much work

    yep but im getting way more an hour now than i was so truckk parts are a comin

    Only 3 years, it gives me time for skids, front bumper, rear bumper, winch, and most of all, experience.
