Inv4drZm's Build Thread

Designed 2 sets of skids; for my 4R and 1st gen Tundra. They should be fabricated in the next couple days and I can test fit and offer the CAD files for sale on my website soon.

Here's the 4R skid design:







 
Off topic, and I know you're in a different rig now, but its nice to see you are still fabricating and living life man. Love to see the updates, keep it going!

Developing more bumpers and transmission and power steering cooler brackets for various vehicles.

Version 2 Tundra bumper:

The 'OG' drill adapter I fabbed in my grandpa's shop 10+ years ago, still kicking lmao. Painted gold and threw in the furnace to bake it on.





 
That is amazing! Also.. applicable to a ton of other manufacturers, too. You should sell on Amazon.

You mean for the drill adapters? I'm currently looking into amazon but need to order some more inventory beforehand.

I previously looked into it and thought only really Toyota uses that style of bottle jack.

Ram HD, Super Duty's, and GM trucks use a similar style but slightly different judging by pics. Would be worth me ordering a used jack and trying though.

Edit: just ordered 4 used jacks from various mfgs to verify fitment.
 
Did coolant in the 5.7 I don't think it has ever been done before and I want the headgasket to last forever. 30k mi but a 2019.
Did 4x4 service as well. From what I was quoted by the dealer I save almost $500 doing all this myself.
Installed one of my external transmission cooler kits too, 2019-2021 trucks didn't come with a cooler of any sort from the factory.







Paint bracket black or leave it...

 
Both my Tundras got hit hard by hail, little Tundra has a cracked windshield and headlight. This happened the night before I started a new job :ohwell:

Getting the new steel jack adapters in a few weeks, for sale on my website.







 
Hailed here last week, just not as severe. We get some baseball size every 10 to 15 years. Sucks. When I was a kid, we used ice cubes on my Dad's Simca. It made the dimples recess a little to where it looked a little less like a painted golf ball.
 
Rear bumper project coming along, only revision now is tailgate will contact the bumper when its lowered :frusty:

Modifying brackets to drop the bumper 1/2" or so then I can install on buddy's truck.





 
Bumper Looks great Mason!
I'd like a similar one for my T100. I wonder if something designed for a 1st gen Tundra would work. The bed size in the T100 is deceptive. Dimensions are about the same as a 1st gen, it just appears smaller for some reason.

From the looks I always thought they shared the same bedsides and front fenders so it stands to reason they are the same dimensionally or at least close enough. Whether or not the frame rail bolts are the same I have no clue though.

I'm working on designing a 1st gen Tundra rear bumper but rear bumpers I've found out are much harder to design correctly than front bumpers. Extra weight so install is harder, and mounting is weird and needs to hug around the body not just butt up to it.
