@81Trekker Any update on when we can pick up the LCA Pivot Kit?

 

Drilling and tapping cam tabs as we speak, I’ll let you guys know as soon as I’m done

 

.

 

Just about finished machining the hardware too... there are a ton of little details that go into these kit, it’s kinda crazy

 

I know how you feel...some pics of shit I have to do for a living...complete tear down and rebuilding of one off custom vehicles...some close to 60 years old....i'll let you guess where


The ungrateful boss

 

I’m 100% in for steering if we can confirm the FJ rack and Tacoma rack share the same pertinent dims. I suppose I could pull my rack and either confirm dims or ship it off if needed? I’m game to provide measurements if needed as well.

 

Dimensions are close, but not quite. The FJ will require a separate piston version:

4 days left.

 

These are different from the hardware I got. Is it better, or just less work?

 

We changed them to make alignment easier, we are sending you the updated version as we speak

 

Great information! @81Trekker is there any chance on making this work for me?

 

Without having a cruiser here to do the first one it’s gonna be tricky as the mounting holes are different.

 

I know why they made all these racks incompatible*, but it's still super fucking annoying.

*Poka Yoke: failure proof manufacture by making it impossible to put the wrong rack in the truck.

 

Awesome! Appreciate that. If you haven't shipped them yet, You can just wait until the rest of the LT is ready. I'm not too worried about it right now, so save some money on shipping!

 

Two and a half days left to get in on this.

 

You should drop off the rig and make it more better!

 

One more day

 

Last question on this, I swear. Would it be enough to ship you my rack? I can send it with the axle stubs on Monday.

 

You could also switch to a taco rack.
