alright i will try to answer all the questions;
Endless: It took about six months to do, mostly working in my spare time, and a lot of that time was research and tracking down parts. There are very few custom fabbed parts on this truck, I wanted to keep it as "off the shelf" as possible to make repairs down the road easier. The truck has been gone for almost six months and only has had one problem so far, just a small oil leak. It has never had a CEL come one and runs very strong. And the third shifter is for the marlin crawler box, I couldn't find a way to adapt the tundra automatic to the 80 series t-case, so I went through a crawler box. I used a late model 60 split case, and this actually had a few advantages. It is now a part time 4WD so fuel mileage and wear on the front axle is much better, also the original driveshafts bolted in. The original 80 series drivetrain is very long, with the marlin it spaced the t-case almost exactly where it was originally so I did not need to modify the driveshafts at all.
Skim: I will post some more pics of the panhard, motor mounts, and wiring
JJ: The tundra hit a telephone pole. The driver of the truck, who also owns the 80, walked away, the pole broke and was basically sitting right next to him when the truck stopped. The entire front of the tundra was mangled, and much of the front of the engine was damaged.
