Need work a lot on the latle, the inside diameter of the OEM housing tube, is Way to big for the ruff stuff spindler, so need to re-size the spindle, the hubs need to re-drill the lug to acomodate 12mm lug

Rad. Any more details on how you installed the spindles into the factory housing?

Did you use any kind of alignment bar/pucks in the spindles and diff/housing to keep everything aligned when you welded it out?

The biggest downside the factory tundra axle is the width in my opinion. I have two, but still undecided how i am going to utilize them. By the time i build them out like @deadlew , im going to have way over $5k into factory housing mutant tundra axles. At that point, I’m just wasting money to keep a Toyota center section.

Not wasting money, the cost for parts has gone way up, a hybrid build is reasonable IMO and the specs on the 10.5 chunk are impressive so is the cost for lockers, axles, & brakes.

I have a new in the box ARB 10.5 locker… probably won’t use it at this point. If someone is interested, drop me a PM.
