Tundra Conversion - Adventure4x4's Build

Not exactly looking forward to this, but it's time. Stuck with OEM parts instead of going aftermarket.

 

Looks like I'm kissing a cross member and some non structural mounting member with my larger diameter driveshaft. Visually and I'm pretty sure I bottomed out the rear this past weekend, it shouldn't travel any further upward. The question is when I decide to go sprung under. Might have to modify the existing crossmember or maybe just fab up a custom one

 

wait a second new wheels? when this happen!!!

 

Haha, maybe a month ago. Yep, bronze is gonzo. I didnt like how wide the track width was

 

Speaking track width. I got my tundra axle mounted up on my wheels. Right at 88” for the rear. So at 89.5” up front I think I’ll be good.

 

ahhhhh gotcha

 

Yeah that's perfect. Its interesting how different the track width is between DK and camburg. I know camburg is narrower than TC as well because I couldn't use their axle shafts. My truck is pretty much set at its widest point at ride height.

 

is it really? thats odd i wonder why they would be that different

 

Just how camburg decided to design it I guess. Yeah, I had bought Jeff's cv axles when he went to 2wd (he has TC +3.5); i installed them and had binding issues. I ended up pulling them apart, compared shafts, and camburg is about an 0.75 in. shorter.

 

ahh that is odd

 

Man, that looks so good!!!

 

Thanks, I appreciate it!

 

Still patiently waiting on my rear locker

 

you can weld right?

 

I see what you’re getting at and support it fully.

 

seee adam i have some good ideas lol

 

Functionality and "good idea" may not always conspire well.......

 

whaaaaaaa it will be fine i promise lol

 

The 36 spline axles and 10.5 ring gear can handle it

 

ya what he said lol
