Back in the Socal Tundra days, they got hijacked a couple times by a Russian buy-a-wife or escort site. I stopped browsing at work after that. Sean

Make sure you use oem wheel bearings and seals. Don't cheap out here. I did use aftermarket whell hubs because all the used oem ones I found were roached and had damaged studs/pin holes. Use the aisin lockouts. Its hard to find some of the parts now, the brass/bronze bushing on the outer...

Don't search "Tube Stack" on a work computer using duck duck go. The results were... provocative? H.R. is probably on the way. It's been real y'all. Sean

I bought these, they are regular manual hub axles, not the extended travel ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/271107750348 Sean

The roof rack is real clean. Great attention to detail on the whole setup. Sean

I grabbed the DTA "brand" taco axles from ebay when I did the manual hub swap on my truck. They fit up with the oe tundra axles no issue. Make sure you use oe tundra inner joints, they use a 6 ball cv and not the tripod joint used on the tacos. Also trim the inner shell for more travel. Total...

You can also add the cabosil powder to that to thicken it up a bit. Gflex is nice for stuff that needs to have a little give but still stick well. Just make sure you get the surfaces good and clean. Use lots of acetone. If it is doing it around the hood pins, take the flanges out and spooge...

Gflex is made by west systems, its basically like flexible toothpaste epoxy. I don't remember where I bought it. I use us composites for most of my supplies. https://www.uscomposites.com/fillers.html Grab some of their epoxy, the mixing pumps, the cabosil, and either some big syringes or you...

Blast some acetone in there to clean the schmoo out then get some cabosil fumed silica and resin mixed to the consistency of peanut butter or some gflex and stick the nozzle in and fill that crack up until it squirts out. Then tape the face up with some wax paper to keep the ooze to a minimum...

The current draw on those is pretty low, how's the battery life? Sean

The manifold and valve covers cleaned up super well. Its looks great. Sean

V bands are the way to go. Sean

On the headers, use oem gaskets for the block to header connection. I have some stainless header flanges where the cats connect already cut if you want them. They are 3/8" or 1/2" thick iirc. I really like the remflex gaskets for that flange. Ill see if I can find the part number I used. Sean

I asked him about doing slip on style rotors a while back and at least for the bigger center bore tundra stuff, he didn't seem to have an issue with it. Sean

What shift kit are you going to use? Sean
