Fixing a WRECKED Toyota Tacoma - Straight Axle Project Pt.1
Fab Rats are working on a straight axle swap or sas on a 05 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that was wrecked and used off road for a while. Time to upgrade and make it better by using Ford, Chevy, and Toyota parts to fab together the ultimate DIY Toyota fabrication and off road build! In this video we show the tear down!
Make sure to follow along with us as we build and fabricate cool stuff!!

First of many videos and build series! We have some great stuff planned and filmed do not miss out!
I've been on your channel for a long time but thought I'd go back and see what I haven't watched. The first vid at like 440 when you say it's got nuts on it and she goes without even thinking "it must be a boy" laughing still a little bit haha
I figured out that I haven't seen the first ten or so episodes so I went back and am watching them

Been a fan for a couple of years but I realized that i hadn't seen your original videos. Did you ever imagine when you did this video 3 years ago that you would be where you are be today. Great work, you and your family are an inspiration to me.
Making a deal on a wrecked truck while you and your cousin are hanging upside down in it, Priceless,iam likeing this channel.
Starting yalls videos over , it’s crazy to see how far y’all have come along since you started . Sure seems longer than a year ! Keep it up guys !
I thought I was the only one that had to "fix" my tools before I could fix my stuff, kinda like repair foreplay I guess.
Like an idiot I watched this build from part 4 and ended with this one Lol! This is such a great build. This guy is an excellent fabricator. Very impressed with what he can do both in the shop and on the trail. I’m sure he could fix a broken frame on the trail at night in a snow storm with JB Weld, bailing wire, and bubble gum! Yes sir, very talented and seems like a really cool guy as well! Glad I subscribed...
The early years of your channel are as good as your newer highly polished versions. I’d like to see you do another Toyota with the knowledge and the shop tools you now have. Randall was a great addition to your channel. Give some thought hiring someone with your skills to work along side you under your directions that would allow you to put out more content.
Man the nostalgia I get coming back to these old videos 😩 you guys have always been the best, crazy to see how far you've come since
I thought after following so long I would see your early stuff. I grew up on a ranch here in Montana where we stacked our hay loose. We used buckrakes that were former dually 2 wheel drive. The axles were flipped, and the string and controls were rerouted so you faced backwards. Engine behind you shift on your left, and you learned the shifting pattern. A floating head was mounted on the back with wooden teeth to go under the hay. The duals helped to build large piles of hay that we pushed to the Hayward for stacking. I would go to town for supplies and chuckle at the people pulling bailers, with a cloud of dust following them. In the field we would be flying, and put up hay pretty fast. On the road between fields, you did not dare drive too fast, the steering was not very tight. LOL Good times.
It's not what you gotta do... it's what you gotta do to do what you gotta do. Story of every repair for me.
So this is the one that started it all. Great first video. Impressive how much things have changed.
I would be terrified to cut that much frame away and say, it’s no going back, make it work! But that is why you do what you do and have a huge fan base. Keep up the great work!
Man I had the exact truck in a 6 speed manual dreamed of doing a axle swap and turning into a trail rig for the family. I love you videos you guys are awesome
I swear it's 1/2 talent/experience and 1/2 having the balls to tear stuff apart.
I started over again from the beginning lol I love listening to Paul while I'm in my shop working makes me like I have a CO worker thanks a bunch Paul!
So I just watched your first video, today is 12/27/23, you seem a lot happier now. That’s the difference between working at a job that pays the bills and doing something you love.
...and look at all y'all have accomplished in a year! You guys simply have one of the best channels on UA-cam with the greatest content!
