    I know exactly what you mean. I tacked it all. Welded up the two braces in the middle and it warped the top tube and messed things up (I'm new). I cut off the bottom pieces and welded them up again so there was no more stress.
    Those tube connections helped me fix some of my mistakes

    Tube clamps can be a bitch! lol I ended up using a couple non interlocking ones in certain spots to help alleviate the aligning hammer beating process

    Is there a thread that has a parts list for 1st gen SUA long travel kits or builds? The 2nd gen guys get these kits packaged on a silver platter from multiple Fab shops... only kit I can find for tacomas and older yotas is from Giant. Do I really need to go to a shop and get a custom build or build list?

    Here are most of the parts you'd need to do your own "kit":

    Did glassworks have 4.5" first gen fenders ever? Advanced fiberglass has 3.5" and a guy I'm looking to buy some from said he has 4.5". Not a big deal - just wanted to know. :confused: :thumbsup:

    always saw glassworks as 3.5s. I do think they had 4.5 as an option though back in the day.

    Springs are in and it's sitting back on its own wheels. Lost about 2" of lift but the gains will be worth it. No vibes at least up to 45mph. Praying shocks come in this week so I can button it up next weekend.
