Building crossmembers for this boxed Tacoma frame

Now that the frame rails are finished up, the crossmembers need to go back in to support the frame. This Tacoma is getting closer to having its bed reinstalled.

@Kronicles Very true and thank you. I try to do things right the first time around. It may take longer but it is a heck of a lot faster than doing it all over again.

Is that a Beverly B2 or B3 shear? That definitely looks like a good tool to invest in.

@PostRt 7 ай бұрын

Hey Frank! My shear is a B1 model. There are several copy cat versions out there, but the Beverly company is a quality product. You could check out Eastwood products, Grizzy tools, and Woodward fab for silimiar units.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll keep my eye out for a B1. My gas tank/exhaust crossmember is actually brand new. I wonder if there’s a way to still box in the frame and shorten it to fit between the frame rails like you did for the rear one. I don’t think I can fabricate crossmember like you did. I’m really new at this metal fabrication stuff.

@PostRt 7 ай бұрын

Oh wow, a new one! You could still make it work with a boxed frame, just like you mentioned. I would bolt it in the factory location, take several measurements relative to the chassis, then shorten it so it fits between the boxed rails. You could create bolt-in provisions or weld it solid to the frame.

Did you paint it yet? Can't wait 🤔 best vid out there my truck was even worse much worse but hay I'm doing it properly ,. Well done mate

@PostRt Жыл бұрын

Not yet, but I'm getting very close to painting. I am still waiting on some parts to come in so I can finish the rest of the fab work. That is great, I'm glad to hear that you are getting yours fixed up too.

Awesome work. I had a 2003 sr5 4 cyl 5 speed that was like new except the frame. Up front is where mine was rotten. Had it plated a bunch but it was getting to the point where there wasn’t enough solid metal to weld to. Love those 1st gens!
