    If you show us how to do it, no one will buy them from you. Because ya know, we all have access to a machine shop and machinist.

    I have the ability to do it but what you dont see is the amount of time it takes to set up the machine to do all that work. I'd gladly pay to have him do it for me!

    Took me about 2 minutes to do this cut....but 10 times that to setup the machine just to do this cut.

    Exactly....and he left out a few other lil tid bits intentionally lol...if you want to do it yourself be my guest...otherwise let me know and I'll actually get sumthin started for you guys...rather do a group of racks at a time than just one at a time because it takes alot of time to set everything up...he has alot of other projects goin on soo it's better time spent when we get enough people interested.....I need to start a thread

    I know you said it before, but wanted to ask again on how much you would be asking for the tundra rack swap.

    Machine shop did mine for $15 a wheel. If you mess one wheel up yourself, you will pay more than it would have cost you to just get them done at a shop.

    Its kind of go fast related. How would you guys do the bottom bump stop pad? Plan was to make it out of 1.75 tubing with a 2 to 3" circle for the bump pad out of 1/4". That would put the bump pad right in the middle of the of the shock mount. Anyone else have any other suggestions?
