Honestly these axles are going to be straighter than they were to start Didn’t even need to gauge them to see that they weren’t straight at all Machining the actual axles takes forever but progress is progress

First off road trip Dates are locked in feb 25-26th at Disney Lathe is in to make these shafts longer don’t have time to do anything fancy so .25” wall dom will have to do. Decided to go ahead and make a spare Nasty oil leaks have been found. And need to fix them Front diff is mounted😎...

Lathe is on the way to pump out axles😂 It was all about the same cost unfortunately so I picked having a new tool again. Also finished cutting everything for the front diff mount. The Napa axles do exist so that’s what I’m going to do. Should be able to get 5 more inches of travel out of the...

With the 3d scanner it Depends on size There are two modes The “feature” and used with markers is the best for larger objects and higher accuracy You can get away with body More complicated explanation The revpoint relies on volume over accuracy Nicer scanners are inherently way more...

Have really been looking into finding the optimal route here for cv axles If you asked me a yesterday I would have said RCV The day before I was thinking full custom and nothing but the best parts And before that cheap axles with custom length shafts Unfortunately none of these options are cheap...

That’s awesome! I’ll have to check that out maybe I have access through work to try it out!

Progress is slow but it be that way sometimes The design for the diff mount is done! So just need to get it cut weld it and plug in some drive shafts and see how much longer they need to be Close to + 12” tundra LT kit haha Had to make the mount completely bolt on so it is able to be...

Oooo I’ll have to look into that

When you start looking into the next build🤦 Blah blah blah yeah yeah finish Boring new stuff>>> Got the truck back on the lift need to mount the diff exactly in the middle(easier said than done) it’s kinda heavy with one hand. But it was never meant to be mounted this way kinda has me worried...

Haha I imported files from fusion so wasn’t super hard I started in sketch up

Yeah learning new CAD programs is difficult unfortunately Best thing to do is to pick one and stick with

Same haha Fusion 360 is my main, this is blender still getting used to it! Apparently the thing to use for games

When you don’t have time to work on your real life truck so you start making your real life truck in a video game. Keeping the recipe the same Except I am not sure if I want to add my own suspension in here seems like a lot of work but I guess that has never stopped me before

Like a glove Very small amount of rubbing on the wheel barrel from the steering lower mount And I think at full comp and lock maybe a little more but yeah these look sick and are far better than that old crap😂

Got another done much better this time Did auto set on the Miller the on the first and manual settings on the second Picked out some metallic silver paint Now to tear down the front end to get to a pesky oil line and get these installed and mount the differential again Still trying to find...

A little before and after ordered some paint and just cut the other one out

Obviously got it perfect the first time👀

Boom, on to cutting stuff

Going to be fun making these work but looks like most of everything is about where it needs to be Which means most of it is going to get cut off because IFS suspension geometry is picky

Instead of getting custom parts machined I decided I rather just modify some spindles after figuring out that they are super close geometry wise Everything is in the computer Hopefully I’ll get these welled up this weekend
