    Those gusseted sprindles look great too. Making me want to spend more money, even if it wrists the wrath of my wife.

    I wish. You can't enjoy your new suspension if you're dead. And I would be dead.

    Looking Good!!..:cool: Those reinforced spindles will def prevent spindle link breakage, but I don't think they will keep the alignment in check. The lower control arm pivot points where the cam tabs are are only as good as the tightness of the bolts and the weak ass quality of the OEM cam tabs. As long as the cam tabs don't bend out or the bolts don't loosen to allow the shifting of the lower arms then you're solid. Might want to look at beefier cam tab gussets..:rolleyes: But then that's another can of welding required...:annoyed:

    I was looking at Cam tabs! LOL.

    And probably some LCA’s...but...then I would be considering LT, and don’t think I want to go LT.

    I need to regear. Hopefully sometime this year.

    Plus, I don’t plan to go on my own or with an inexperienced group.

    Edit: The few times I've gone was to cruise, hang out, and camp and mostly with new people who've never gone up/down Donkey Trail or any of the other obstacles.

    Maybe you should get together with @squint0241 he needs to buy gears too. Then when you guys regear will take you out to donkey and break in your gears and 35’s.:thumbsup:

    Rick said he probably won't re-gear until next year, if at all.

    Also, I chatted with DannyBaja/txbajapro/Baja TXPro, and he's been on 35's for 19K miles and no issues. But his is manual 6-speed transmission, so he can control the shifting better. I want to regear and add a front locker. I do know a couple of others who want to regear here on Oahu, so we'll see how it goes...if ECGS doesn't cut the shipping costs, then it's pointless to combine the orders.

    I can't even imagine driving a manual Tacoma with 35's and stock gears. Of course people will say it's fine, it's their truck.
