    Thinking about going with kings. Ya those solo ones are a pita, took Jason a long time to install even with out an engine in. Didn't even think about Adam making his own version...

    or freddy kruger...

    i though jason had the TC gussets...?

    the solo should be easier because they are an 8 piece design and not the 4 piece like the TC gussets

    hell ya cory!!! its easy to make a girl...shit the blue prints are right in front of you. CONGRATS!!!!!

    ive been seriously plotting on designing some 4x2 and 4x4 spindles with a lower uniball conversion. I have a couple people i could collaborate with and possibly make this happen...matt how many people out there would bite on a spindle and lower uniball if it was a reasonable price??? realistically?

    absolutely

    the market for 1st gen spindles and lower uni-balls is more than there. it's the cost that holds most people back from getting the solo spindles... $2,000+ for spindles and lower uni balls is just way too far out of reach the the majority of people. even knocking 20% off that would make it easier for people i think

    the trick would be getting the work out once you did have a design. post up on every single forum letting poeple know what ya got...TTORA, TW, CT, DR, RDC, Pirate, yotatech, socaltundra...
