When will the 1st Gen Tacoma guys get some love?

 

Bummer I just ordered my yesterday o well it’s only money

 

Hey Sean, thank you for the order and posting about this. We'll toss in a shirt and hat to make up for the difference. PM me or reply here with your shirt size ASAP and we'll get it added. The order will ship tomorrow so let me know before ~4pm. Thanks!!

 

No promises yet, but measurements on a 1st gen have already been taken

 

@BigMike any chance of a one off order for the gussets without the cam tabs?
I’m solid mount but would still love the gussets

 

Yeehaw. My fabricator Joe (GMG fab scottsdale , AZ) is dropping beads on my marlin kit. He builds serious trail rigs and he said he was very impressed with this kit. Might have to make a small relief cut on the side of my IFS skid but not sure yet!

 

Ordered the Kit this morning. Looking forward to adding it to my long build list for the summer before ATR!

 

Anyone done these with TC +2 yet? Wondering if there will be any clearance issues

 

FYI no clearance issues or trimming required with @SOS CONCEPTS Skid plates.

 

Good to know! Need to get my front end torn apart and all this stuff done

 

Quick question -

The opening in the vertical pieces is wider than the cam tabs (to allow for proper fitment/adjustment). That being said, do you weld to the actual tabs? Maybe fill-in weld between the tabs and support piece?

I've been looking at the pictures, but it is sometimes hard to see what people have done here.

Thanks.

Oh - received my kit last week! I am going to replace my LCAs, so as soon as I pick up a set, I will install these.

 

Forgot to finish the instructions! I'll get em online later this week

 

Did you take any pics while the install was in progress?

 

Yeah scroll up a few posts

 

Thank you!

 

Kit ordered!! I'm stoked as I think the paper-thin LCA mounts and the low hanging y-pipe are two head-scratching design flaws in the 2nd & 3rd gen Tacoma platform.

 

That's bitchen.

 

I just got back from a 1000+ mile camping trip. Wheeled all around a lake and had no fear of the cam tabs bending. Felt great to get away. Woke up to this.
