Nice! Well I would not get too excited...I think they far over shot the weight capacitys....as the frame looks the same to me as a 1/4 ton frame....the rear suspension was beefer...larger shackle and a few more leafs in the pack...not sure what else they did to justify calling it a 1Ton but my guess is not much. Either way this was a good frame to start with as there was not one speck of rush on it.

Well not too exciting but I dropped of my rims/tires to have them separated. Selling the tires as I will be going with a set of 35s when it goes back together. Now I have all winter to polish these and clear coat them

Fun night. I'm done with the frame for now so I cleaned up the shop...put the frame to the side and took my axles apart. Mainly because I bought them rebuilt and wanted to make sure they were right but also because I am putting a locker in the rear and wanted to confirm the gear rations for the TRD Elocker front 3rd and make sure it matched the rear. Good news both are 4:10.

...I was looking at this and trying to figure what was wrong... grease nipples!! LOL, good idea. Do you know if that's factory, or something an owner added? Keep up the good work man, real nice to see a Yota brought back from the grave properly ;D

The hubs are beautiful! Put those on the coffee table. Simple jig for the body man there too, that will work great.
