Solid Axle T100

We are all wishing we bought this truck now looks great

For Real

 

[TrailRigRacing]

The new springs fit real nice. When turned fully to the right there were some clearance issues between the tie rod and the radius arm. Trimmed up the radius arm to clear the tie rod.

Hopefully the high clearance Delta arms will be here in a week or so!

Getting the panhard bar support cleaned up and finishing the welding on the frame stiffeners.

Working on the rear bumper.

Tomorrow I will finish the left side, add more gussets, make some recovery points and burn it onto the truck.

 

[shellb]

yes!! love it man.

 

[TrailRigRacing]

Finished up the rear bumper today.

 

[shellb]

Nice work man! Well done. Hopefully new parts being delivered soon!

Very much enjoying seeing the updates; keep it up. This thing is going to be scary capable.

I added a center support tied into the factory crossmember. The 80 series LandCruiser rear axle was degreased, cleaned and painted.

Making a new in cab shifter cover for the duals.

How's the driveshaft angle w/ the offset 80 rear and centered output of the Tcase?

How's the driveshaft angle w/ the offset 80 rear and centered output of the Tcase?

The 80 rear diff is not offset enough to cause any issues. I have a few friends with 80 axles under mini trucks that I talked to about this issue.

I got the dual transfer cases in the truck. The front control arm crossmember is going to require some modification to clear the driveshaft. I will need to modify and reuse the factory t-case crossmember to mount them.

 

[J Kimmel]

Do you even need the front crossmember?

 

[TrailRigRacing]

Do you even need the front crossmember?

Yes, due to the mounts distance from the frame.

Custom T100 dual transfer case crossmember. Utilizing the factory mount with a mini truck dual case crossmember.

 

[TrailRigRacing]

Crossmember all finished up, painted and under the truck.

Shifters are in. I still need to dig around and find another shifter boot for the rear shifter.
