Thanks Ron for the pictures, great start , and yes please keep them coming. Two questions what year toyota frame and where you butt welded the tail end of the frame to the new crossmember will you provide additonal gussetts or will that suffice strength wise?? Just curious and trying to learn. thanks



the toyota frame is a mid 90's, we junked the truck an I had to keep the chassis around just in case

as far as gussets to the rear frame, I have seen chassis left just the way it is now but I have a tendincy to overkill my stuff,I would rather make it to strong rather than too weak, so I will probably fit some gussets to the kicked in area.
but I am going to have a full cage that will come out the back of the cab and go down to the rear frame rails so the gussets probably are not needed Ron...
