    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Hey Matt, where did you get these powder coated? Know anyone near the Asheville area by chance?

    I bought them preassembled, so they were already painted. I’m not sure of anywhere in Asheville who does powdercoating.

    They also don’t work with a tundra rack, so I’ll probably be selling them soon :angrygirl:

    I think you misread what I asked ya. I was asking where you got powder coating done?
    I am living up above Asheville and I am liking to get some stuff powdered.

    I just did an edit. Sorry. My powder coating was done in hickory. I’m not really sure of anywhere in Asheville who does a good job at a fair price. I don’t venture out that way much.

    Minor setback with the tundra rack. It sits too far back towards the firewall with the essentric bushings. Gonna have to weld in new barrels and get it pushed forward.

    this will let the 934’s clear as well as center the tie rods better.

    @Basikbiker Tundra rack had to ultimately be relocated and new barrels welded in. Having the engine out made this a lot less difficult than it would have been otherwise.
    My installer continues to kill it
