Got a job for you:

Just some angle iron, those gussets you have, and a couple holes to drill AND you get to practice welding.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

[GONZO97]

whats that for?? is he your little worker or what

[82juguete]

he knows what its for

[LilGonzo86]

hey snico it needs tto come of of that support and line up with those holes right

[82juguete]

yep...use the one that broke off as a template...but make the holes a tiny bit bigger and grind out that square a little more so the air fitting clears. 

Also please take the bag out while welding...the spatter will melt a hole in it.

Thanks primo

[Broke_Okie_Ty]

ah i remember my 1st truck  it wont take long for you to hack that bed off either. looks like a good start. i would wheel  outta that ifs and then sas it. learning on that would bring the curve way down. looks like you got a very good start though

[LilGonzo86]

ok guys well Ive been occupied on other things for awhile so i haven't done much. but for a quick update without pics which will be coming soon. I built half doors and recently purchased  with the motivation of my brother a new solid axle for my truck everything but a third member which doesn't matter since i will need to purchase 5.29s to match the rear. I am pretty confident that this summer i will be off roading with a more capable Toyota.

[LilGonzo86]

Okay so I got all the parts about a week ago and saturday and Sunday we did the whole solid axle swap..with the help of my brother my cousin and my buddy we successfully axle swapped it with time to spare. Here's some pictures










Well we finished except for shock hoops and shocks

[Jaysen]

Nice! We should go wheeling together soon!

[87hillbillyoter]

looks good! did you get the front shaft in?

[LilGonzo86]

No the front drive shaft is short so maybe I'll just use the square Shaft for now.... Sou will let you know next time we go wheelin maybe soon in the future... Thanks goes out to my bro which helped me three days in a row thanks man!

[LilGonzo86]

So after school I got another set of bilsteins for the back and also got shock hoops for the front here are some pics

Thanks guys my next plan is to do a cage of some sort... I also am thinking about bObbing my bed but I'm not sure what I want yet which is good since I'm low on cash after the solid axle swap 
