The FROR FF uses Tundra Calipers

Tundra rear? With integrated parking brake?

I would have to look at my Tundra to see how the calipers look . But on my FF rear it uses Tundra calipers . I had a Orion T case with the e-brake on the t case so i didnt really think about a e brake But now with a Atlas i will have to run Line Locks

Yeah I did see they released their 80 knuckle balls, I will be using those as well for the front. But the rear option they used to have used front spindles and hubs and replaced the brass spindle bushing with a seal and holder. Shafts likely cheaper that way but again, I don't think it has a parking brake provision. Excited to see how yours turns out.

You don't need outer axle seals with the RS housing, they have the internal diff side seals like most race housings.

Interesting. Good to know.

If you can do the 80 brakes and parking brake, that'd sweet.

I'm not a big fan of the Toyota drum parking brake but it's probably better than trying to cobble something else together.

Easy button is all I was thinking.

I don't know what the rear calipers cost, but they were literally $23 each from toyota for remans for the front

You still need to lube the hub bearings, or pack with grease.

I'm hoping to be getting out of this industry pretty soon. Planning on building a shop for my dad and I to fart around in, but needing to find a job that isn't my hobby now. It's slowly driving me crazy lol.

I know your pain. I run my own shop now and do not get out in the bays to work much. I still do some but have techs that do it and we do not do much custom stuff like you are doing. This way when I work at home on my stuff, it is "fun" again. Problem is that I do not have the time I used to when I worked for "the man". Money is much better but my free time is limited. It is a trade off I supose and I should be able to retire much sooner and enjoy life while I am still under 60 years old. No matter what people say, if you do what you are doing everyday at work, it is hard to do it with the same energy at home.

80 bearings are grease packed, not oiled. The diamond housing must not have inner seals.

Many remove the axle seal and utilize the gear oil to lube the wheel bearings on a 80 axle.

Money and no time or time and no money has always been a problem for me.

The Diamond Housing certainly does have a inner seal

Went to the gym and then to the helpful hardware folks place and picked up some weatherstripping for the rear flares. It's definitely not garage door weatherstrip or anything like that

Anyways, it worked well and looks good.

That looks great. Ties in so well.

I can't remember who wanted a WIY kit, was it @matzell and someone else? Anyways, what size tire were you wanting it for?

I was thinking about it. Shoot me a price using .120 dom. Tire size would be 35-37's

After the flares, I stared on the rear axle. Cut out a rear truss setup and got the spindles and trusses tacked.
