Not much left Tacoma left... 4500 koh build

Another day of working on this housing…

Started welding out the subframe as well and made the slug for the upper link. Originally it was just a sleeve and then a nut on the end but the bolt was so long, the trans had to come out to pull the upper link. So I made another sleeve and tapped it for a 5/8-18 fine thread bolt. I’ll make a bolt on capture nut plate for the bolt head as well and some red loctite and it shouldn’t go anywhere.IMG_9549.jpegIMG_9550.jpegIMG_9552.jpegIMG_9554.jpegIMG_9558.jpegIMG_9556.jpegIMG_9557.jpegIMG_9559.jpegIMG_9560.jpeg
 
This was a lot of welding. Same thing. Not the greatest welder when it comes to tube. But getting better already I feel. Front half of the subframe is welded out and to the frame and bump stop cans are in. I think I’m at the point to put the front axle back in and turn it around.IMG_9562.jpegIMG_9563.jpegIMG_9564.jpegIMG_9565.jpegIMG_9566.jpegIMG_9567.jpegIMG_9568.jpegIMG_9569.jpegIMG_9570.jpegIMG_9571.jpeg
