a little, but you always start high, case people are gonna offer lower anyways...

i'd pay close to $25 for it, it's built right.

I had a buddy sell his 95 tacoma for about that price. But his was a race proven truck.

If that is the truck I remember at the offroad expo about 2yrs ago its a VERY well built truck. I remember contacting richer for a cabcage like that truck and they quoted me around 4-5k just for the cab cage.

I remember when they used to play in there garage about a mile from my house.

 

The down fall to those mounts is it replaces just the bushing area. But the frame side of things is still very weak and will need to be reinforced. Then there is the top side of that mount which is a factory mount and that will need to be reinforced as well. I DESTROYED my motor mounts and had to build new ones.

 

i think richer racing is now offering 1st gen V6 motor mounts...

dont know about price. i'll call them up this week

 

Bonzen can make motor mounts as well. He has the Jig from ESB from what I understand. He quoted me a price so I know he can make them.

 

right on, i'll hit him up over on DR... just out of curiosity can you PM me what he quoted you, so i can get a ball park estimate

 

Yeah I think I saw that on TTORA. You had said you would make them but after actually making them it wouldnt be worth it. Thats why I didnt ask you lol. I planned on reinforcing the lower but thats the first I have heard about the upper part. I def wanna get a good set if bonzen wants to make a few

 

Yep, I made a jig but I screwed up somewhere in my measurements when making my frame side of the mounts. I looked about the same but didnt work like I thought. Dont know what I did but I made them work but not worth making them for others to have to fight installing them like I did. If I could have used good mounts to build my jigs off of I think it would have been fine.

If your mounts are not broken. I say reinforce the frame side then remove the factory mount purchase the trailgear mount to replace the bushing then plate in the other side of the factory mount where it hits the block.

 

Yeah everything I have is still fresh and un-beat. I am def getting everything buttoned up before I do anything more than just playing around. What do you think is thick enough for reinforcement plating on the upper and lower part? (and going to box the tranny mount too) Like 3/32"?

 

So 4 inch backspace will make the tires stick out alot further?

 

I found a guy selling 35x12.50r17 genral grabber non dot race tires for 60 bucks each. each tire has about 30min race time. he has 60 available.

 

Not allot but more yes, going from stock to Engage lt is super wide, like no more drive thru's wide. Don't think you will like the extra width nor will the cops.

 

thats a steal but i dont know if your gonna want to run race tires on your DD... plus some shops wont mount and balance non DOT tires

 

I just got my Kings in. How tight do i adjust the collar. Right now the coils are loose.

 

ok cool. I have one but how tight do i make them?
