Tundra Conversion - Adventure4x4's Build

So is the OEM shock mount top bolt location getting chopped or is this purely a reinforcement?

Oh I see, eyelet top. So yes, chopped.

 

The OEM one will still be intact. The only part I'll be cutting off is the top. So a little bit of both

 

First mockup of the towers. Some trimming necessary to better match fillet of the welds but overall happy with with the fitup so far. This would be very difficult without the ability to remove the inner fender.

 

Maybe a little overkill on the welding but overall it turned out well. The backside was a pain to reach with the welder.

 

Looks great. What length shocks do you plan to use with these towers?

 

Thanks. I'm still going to utilize the 8" travel coilover. The purpose was to gain more jounce travel. With my current setup a 10" wouldn't gain me anything.

 

Very cool! Is the shock mount/tabs welded in now, or are the bolts still used and it it removable?

 

Tabs are welded in now so no more adapter plate. So nice being able to remove the coilover with a single bolt.

 

dang you are doing a ton of work still!

 

I'm trying haha. I've been off 3 months for paternity leave so I have some time here and there to work on the truck.

 

They practically tried to cut me in half and then sewed me back together, and they were attempting to get me back after 3 weeks.....
