I have d35 ttb from an explorer on my gmc Sonoma. I replaced the entire knuckle with a set from a friend’s 1981 Bronco, so d44. I used a tapered reamer (forgetting what taper it is at the moment) on the explorer beam ends to accept the Bronco ball joints. This is all TTB though. Idk if 2nd is...

Those come out of the wife’s account.

Kind of? Depends on how it’s done. Bleepin jeep used one on their gooseneck build, but it’s mounted differently than you’re probably anticipating. I made a bike trailer for hunting and used a HF half inch u joint from a socket set as the hitch pivot in the direction you’d see a driveline u...

I can’t wait to buy it all off you at a huge loss

@desert_steve you got anything?

I think you can get that. Stock tundras aren’t far off, and this thing is super clean. I wouldn’t worry about shock size. I have a single 2.5” coilover on each corner and it’s a blast

I can't believe how incredibly clean it is. Fab work aside, it doesn't look like it ever touches dirt, which is not the case

@Turboyota loves this

Just a thought, since I’m in the same boat with our small pop up camper and bringing a dirt bike, I’ve thought about this a lot. Putting a bike on the front adds almost a couple hundred pounds of tongue weight. It can be offset by having a rear rack made for your ice chest or camping gear.

That's a good idea to keep it powered with a rechargeable battery!

Honestly it really is. There's so much to do and see, but it's incredibly mismanaged.

This is what makes them so dangerous and, quite honestly, a nuisance in the desert. Being able to hop right into something so capable, fast, and dangerous is hazardous to new users and everyone else around them. It totally eliminates the learning curve of what hand signals mean when passing on...
