    I like to design LT kit for both 1st and 2nd gen tacomas.


    I am hoping as I take my more complex engineering classes I can use the material and get an idea on how to build a LT kit.

    Anyone know of FREE CAD programs I can download?

    Trust me don't end up with a kit like some of these shops are coming out with that don't work in the real world because they designed it all in solid works. Most valuable thing you can buy is the book "Engineered To Win" after reading it built adjustable jig arms on the truck and play with it till you get your camber, caster, kingpin inclination, progressive caster change and roll center correct. Then put in cad to have some plates laser cut.

    Yeah, that is what I was planning on doing.

    I wasn't going to build cheap LT kit... I was going to spend months figuring out camber, caster, kingpin, etc... before I even consider putting the LT kit on the market.

    I love my 1st gen access cab but with a baby and one on the way it aint working out that well. Its not my daily driver but I would like to take them around if i could and thats why I would do double all over again.
