    Whats up guys! Many of you may be familiar with my alignment kits and I just released a new product you may also be interested in:

    Rear Frame Box Kits
    PXL_20240127_022059525.png
    Frame Box Kits can be found on my website: https://kpoffroad.com/product/tacoma-rear-frame-box-kit

    About:

    I've been developing these kits over the last year or so when working on my SAS build. I couldn't find any frame box kits online for the 1st gen, everything I found was for the 2nd and 3rd gen Tacos. I figured I couldn't be the only one needing a frame box kit so I went ahead and designed these!

    Each kit includes enough plates for both the passenger and driver sides of the vehicle, 8 plates total. Each plate comes dimple died and is ready to be burned in!

    PXL_20240127_022257022.jpg


    Price - $150
    BUT you can use the code "TWFramePlates" (without quotes) at check out for 10% off!

    Fitment:
    Right now the kits only work with extended cab Tacomas but I'm hoping to add other body styles soon.

    PXL_20240127_022239001.jpg

    Let me know if you have any questions about the kit, I'm happy to answer anything!

    Thanks for looking!

    I like em, my current project will certainly need these. Been saying someone should make some with voids and dimple dies.

    Other than the fuel tank one I don't have any of that left but I know people will appreciate that, just a heads up the link to your website isn't up.

    Look good, I might grab some. Are these generally able to be welded without removing the bed?

    They can be welded without removing the bed but you will need to drop the tank and all the other misc. bits and pieces.

    Great designed! Glad someone still appreciate the first gen market. I would have bought these in a heart beat a few years ago when I was looking for them.

    I ordered a set since I'm going to have my bed off again really soon. Nice to know they were designed on a early 1st gen too, means it should actually fit mine :p

    Awesome timing, I'll probably order a set here shortly.
    I'm not aware of any differences that would allow them to fit a double cab without modification, are there any?

    I haven't tried fitting one to a double cab yet. If anyone has any experience and can chime in or post some pics that would be awesome! I'm fairly certain the frames are different.

    With this kit you can check that it isn't rusting on the inside of your frame, unlike the TrailGear frame box kit that I installed. I have to blindly spray the inside of my frame every 2 years for peace of mind.:mad:
