Builds 2010 LX 570 -AHC Delete, Tundra Swap, 4.5" BDS Lift (1 Viewer)

[GJamisonUT]

Makes sense to do gears and lockers while diff is out. In my case, I am having a shop do it in October. They will deal with removing diff then. Did you go with ARB or Harrop? I am going with ARB and 4.88 nitro gears.

ARB & Nitro 4.88s as well. Haven't decided on a compressor setup yet, I want to mount a decent sized tank somewhere so I can quickly air up 37s.

Good chance that this is my future:

Especially after I came home with 2 boxes of parts from the dealer today. Wheel bearings, hubs, seals, cam bolts & adjusters, UCA bolts, brake pads and a few misc. bolts.

@GJamisonUT: As I was finishing the lift last Friday, I noticed that stock tundra TREs will not work with BDS steering knuckle. You will have to use the BDS TREs.

Yep, I noticed the same. Bummer.

Some progress. Can't really do to much more on the front until I get the gears and lockers installed in the front diff. Hoping to receive the parts this week.

And BDS TRE rubs on Coilovers on full turn. I will see if BDS could revise the spacers on lower shock mount.

@Atwalz Thanks for the heads up! Can't wait to see some pics

Nice! Looks great. I'm still waiting on gears and lockers. Got the front Nitro on Monday, the rest should show up on Thursday.

After months of COVID related delays at the factory, my Dobinsons rear drawers finally arrived at Cruiser Outfitters last Friday! The install was pretty smooth once I figured out what went where...the instructions aren't the most detailed. Really happy with the fit and look.

Those look pretty good, I might have to order some.

Do these block the intake for the rear HVAC? Appears like a pretty tight fit agains driver side.

Cool stuff. Following this one.

Woah hey TonyP

Nope. The side "wings" are just a couple of brackets with the carpeted panels on top, so there isn't anything sitting against the side of the interior. If you look at the last picture in the post, you can unscrew that round cap looking thing and quickly remove that panel to access the 110v outlet and the jack/first aide cubby on the passenger side. You could even store things in there if you wanted to I suppose.

Third member removed...the 4.88s, master install kits and ARB lockers have all finally arrived...I'll be dropping everything off at a friends house tomorrow for assembly next week.

Front diff is done! Apparently I received the incorrect rear ring & pinion, so I had to arrange a replacement. While I'm waiting for that it's time to wrap up the front suspension and get my rig sitting on the front tires.

 

[Atwalz]

got any pics of it sitting on front tires.

Hats off to the tech that installed the ARB in the front diff. Already a hard job setting the backlash with a clamshell housing, then add in the complexity of that airline.

Looking good so far!

Not yet. I forgot the bolts that secure the hub to the spindles are trapped in the assembly. I have some coming, should be here tomorrow. Hoping to get front and rear done this week.
