If you scour facebook marketplace you can pick up full tundra axles for under $500. I paid a total of $800 for two complete axles. Not exactly sure what im going to do with them yet. The diffs are beefy.

You scoured the internet for something that you didn’t need, and then you went and got it anyway? I wonder if there is any help for that because I have that challenge, too.

Painted the windshield frame last night

 

[Firemedic831]

Started on some frame prep and boxing the frame

 

[Firemedic831]

Almost forgot how much I love grinding and drilling rivets out

 

[Firemedic831]

I think I am going to get some plates cut kinda like this . That will give me a nice surface for the rear link mounts .

 

[Firemedic831]

Started stitching the plates in and made a templet to get cut .

 

[Firemedic831]

And before Peezy Comes along and stomps his feet and throws his hands in the air . Yes i wire wheeled / Sanded the inside of the frame first . Once i have all the fab work done on the frame it will go get sandblasted .

that whole frame needed to go into a pool of vinegar for a week. Good to see you back at it, say hi to elsie.
