Finally back working
Well i feel like i am way behind. I guess that's always how these things go. After being gone for another three weeks finally made some more progress the last two days.
So most of my problems on the driver side with regard to steering and just overall fitment with coilover, header, and engine cage placement, all stemmed from the fact that the ebay tundra headers were not made for my application. So after trying to make them fit by moving steering and such I said F it and just chopped them apart and fabbed up some of my own. (Pics Below) For my first header fabrication i am actually pretty stoked. The welds are not the cleanest (dont have a TIG welder one of my next purchases) but for a mig and some stainless wire i think it came out ok.
So anyway the steering now fit perfect I just ran a strait piece of DOM and essentially welded it to the u joints.
The engine cage is started and between that and installing the adapter plate setup that 4u2quick set me up with i should stay buisy for the next couple days. i have to get this thing back on all fours, Not running but able to roll two weeks from today. got to move the truck out of the garage for a bit. the pressure is on.
