    So you drop it off Saturday and they will be done Wednesday? They are working on it over Labor Day weekend? Thats pretty cool! Unless they are only working on it Tue and Wed, but still that would a fast turnaround.

    I have to ask though, did LT get you to come to Tacoma World or did TW get you to want LT?

    They are only working on it tue and Wednesday but I couldn't drop it off during the week. So it works for me. Well to be honest before I even owned a tacoma and knew about Tacoma world I looked into all the after market parts for all of the mid size trucks. So I knew I wanted to have fun with my truck and knew I wanted The upgraded suspension. Thats why i bought my tacoma. I'll admit I didn't know much about it. But Tacoma world helped me decide which direction to go because of all the options. So to answer your question I knew I wanted to jump and go fast in the desert Tacomaworld was my information hub to get there.

    well here it is the long awaited pics. some input would be appreciated Im running 33"s right now should I go for 35's or 37's? looks a little funny with the 33"s. also thinking about a one piece hood and fenders to get a more aggressive flare and more fender.

    Their logic said to be careful and even if it is gusseted it is still the weakest link. Race spindles are in the near future. untill then im not going to go crazy.

    damn that shit is soooo wide, looks beastly. i say go with 35s just because the gas mileage is already horrible with 35s and 37s cant be any better, plus it will be low and wide which i personally prefer over high and unstable

    sure it's still a weak link, but gusseted is better than not gusseted and it's not like it's hard to do... the spindle is already off the truck when installing the kit.

    i understand not going crazy... but then why didn't you do it all at once cause right now you aren't going to enjoy having the kit... you spend a bunch of money and then dont get to enjoy it... just my 2 cents

    when you planning to get the fab'd spindle?

    true that, i would wanna get it out of the shop and go to the desert and push it to its limit! just knowing that you have to go easy offroad because that spindle can bend bugs me. TC gussets are under 100 bucks, i think its well worth it
