Your confusing TTB with a solid axle....this is why people are posting links to the articles. or maybe you meant DANA 50 TTB from a F250? TTB was used in the Ford F-250 from 1980 to 1997. Some people do make frankenstein beams with d44 inner and D50 outer for increased strength... I didnt...

haha....No. I dont think there is any rear end that comes "full floater" from the factory

Tundra.... well.... 10.5 ring gear.... Just about the right width...and it was free. If it gives me problems.... I will just setup to a fabricated rear axle housing and full floater etc... For now I have to draw the line in the sane at some point and just keep moving forward with the build.

no.... early 90's F150/Bronco

The engine and beams are in! If it looks like a lot of uptravel, it's because there is. More uptravel than most FJ's have in total! The benefits of @dertco not compromising and putting things were he wants. The frame rails, crossmember and mounting points have been put in the best place...

My slightly modified FJ... wonder what is hiding under there? Wanna take a look? .... It's almost a shame we have to cover it up... Culhane built 4L80e and the Atlas transfer case .... Super cool to see the mid plate now mounted up and doing its job, yes this means the motor and tranny...

The TTB ford beams starting to get the @dertco treatment. ... I wish I could weld like this.... Yup, TTB beams on an FJ, it's happening.

Jordan doing his thing on my rear 10.5 Tundra housing. Previous truss work from the other shop was not going to cut it, so it's gone. We cut it all off. New one coming together nicely, done properly now...4130 all the way now...

Thanks for all the messages guys...keeps me going. I'm going make this happen, and this truck going make me so many more memories for years to come. I dont think there is a price I would sell it for, honestly.....means that much to me.... I think it's time for an update right? So...

Merry Christmas..... to me. The Kings are in.... 14" stroke (front) King 2.5 coilovers with Finned reservoirs and 2.5" bumps !! More pieces to the puzzle Rears are 16" King 2.5 coilovers with Finned reservoirs and 18" King 3.5 7 tube bypasses. These freaking things are HUGE. The...

37's + uptravel means it was time to break out the sawzall and the plasmacutter. Gone os most of the rear end sheet metal and some of the quarter. Still keeping the framerail but putting a nice notch in there...... so pretty much #backhalfed . Trailer Products fiberglass (Race version/no gas...

6.2L of fury about to make its new home in the FJ.....now the real work begins. Time to get creative... Gone is the stock framerail forward of the firewall. Designed new framerails in solidworks (3wall) as this is so much easier than working around teh stock framerail....cutting off all the...

Mullenix Racing engine stage3 Cam kit going in today. Billet camshaft, double valve springs, Titanium retainers and pushrods. Give the crate LS3 some real bite to go along with its bark. I always dreamed of owning a nasty lumpy V8. Picked up my fresh 4L80e from culhane, manual valve body...

.... kinda terrifying and exciting at the same time. Things definitely moving forward. Pretty much the only thing left from the original FJC will be some of the frame rail and the body. New engine and trans should be finished this week...then the real magic begins.... Not that long ago I was...
