    No, I do not. I use 1.25" x .250 wall DOM for the upper arms and a mix of 3/16" and 10 ga. p&o steel for the lower arms.
    let me know, i'd love to do a newer taco.:)

    Holy cow, why does this have to be in Cali :( , You could have my truck for 2 months if you need it, its sitting in a garage right now while im in Iraq. If you can fab something i will definitely buy, i have a christmas bonus coming up and i have been itching LT for awhile now. Is there a safe way to disengage 4x4 till i get axles?

    Do it Beau. Then get some more lights to put on it and go drive the he'll out of it. If I didn't already have a stupid lift my truck would already be in their garage and torn apart.

    There is a company that came out with some poly urethane fenders that are pretty much unbreakable, it had a guy bending them in half and even stepping on then and they just go back to shape.

    So far they only have them for rangers but I'm sure taco fenders are in the works

    Why would you say this about a shop unless you have personally dealt with them? Look at their work. Read about them on dezert rangers. Beginners who don't know much DO NOT build stuff like this. Maybe these guys use to work for a huge off road race company and now they decided to start their own business. I have to good friends in Phx, AZ and they aren't Camburg or Total Chaos but they use to work for a small little company called GEISER BROS... Look them up if you don't know who they are. Better yet...if you don't know who they are maybe you should get off this thread. They are one of the biggest trophy truck builders in the WORLD. Everything these two guys know they learned from the best. They might not be known worldwide yet, but that doesn't give you any reason to talk down about someone trying to make something of themselves. These guys obviously know what they are doing, maybe you should give them credit and go look at their work first hand before you talk down about them. Don't forget...every huge company started off just like these guys at one point.

    Iv never purchased anything from BTF but I have seen some amazing work come from these 2 guys. I would not hesitate to get something built by them in the future. Glad they showed up to answer all your guys questions. Keep up the good work guys.

    If you get to take your truck to them to do LT, I am driving to Cali to check it out. Lol Judging by the pics, these guys build some awesome rigs. Damn...I need a non-lifted taco. Anyone wanna trade??? Haha

    He was referring to Batch Racing. They recently screwed over someone on here big time and another member on here has their Kit and said its Junk.
