    I will say those welds posted up there did look like shit. and thats saying something because I use my flux cored wire on small projects. Practice practice practice. And the ends were different sizes. :rolleyes:

    Theres not much you can do to the factory spindle other then the TC Gusset. Not to many companies build a spindle for Tacoma/tundras/4runners do to the bearings being pressed in. A lot of companies go to the older toyota 4x4 snouts. Or they use something like the Camburg hubs. I think for the average person that long travels there truck and running 33" tires the TC gusset is fine. Any bigger tire and Plans for racing or a ton of abuse I suggest finding someone to build you a spindle.

    Never seen there spindle for the FJ. For the FJ, 05+ tacoma/4runner those have a bolt on bearing assembly. That being the reason TC, Camburg and a few others have built spindles for them.

    Great welds on a farm! And I know people that ride with welds like that but the one that I am thinking of isn't selling his stuff and wheels with a welder on-board.

    YIKES! In Nates defense he can weld. I've seen it personally :D I'll post pictures later today but he did tell me his welder was toast. I don't think I would have sold em like that and a side note his arms do have internal gusseting you can see the heat warp through the paint :cool:
