    Dude! That was a steal! I've been contemplating the tc gussets myself since the stock spindles are so anorexic.

    Pretty stoked to get after this project, I agree the knuckles do look like they are on a diet.

    Weaker spindles or axles? I’m not keen on a heavy duty racing axle on a plated car as you would be moving the stress point inside the front clamshell on a Tacoma. Can’t figure out what gusseting a spindle would have a negative effect on.

    You have no idea. If you’ve got cash in hand and want the best deal, you tell Mike what you are looking for and he will connect you to the most smoking deal ever. But if you want to win stuff in a raffle, I’m your man.

    Got some time to test fit the terminal block and bus bar mounting tray. Running the
    S-Tech universal 6 Switch system remotely mounted on the left side of the bay since space is at a premium, and haven’t found any other way to get around the clutch fluid reservoir issue. Shout out to @JLee and @jberry813 for getting the tray out to me. I’m sure it could be a simple fabrication solution for some, but this made for an easier fit.

    Gonna see about wiring and getting it all cleaned up.

    No Taco or 4runner updates, just so damn proud of my daughter.
    Big things for our little town, My daughter’s commencement ceremony was a success.
