    Back before I had to grow up, I used to love mod days, but now as I have gotten older planning them has became a pain in the ass. Not to mention its 150 degrees here 8 months out of the year.

    You think one of those cheap Harbor Freight welders would be sufficient for this kind of job? I've been wanting to get one for a while to practice with.

    There's a guy on the Toyota groups on Fb that does them. Think his name was Spencer. And i believe he's in the Austin area.
    I planned to contact him to weld mine up but haven't gotten around to it quite yet.

    You could probably JB weld the plate in and it be good. Main thing is that you get a good cut on the frame and match the plate up good.

    Ha hadn't thought about jb weld.
    I cut mine awhile ago. But just left it open. I'll get around to getting it welded eventually...

    I wouldn't mind joining up for a full fluid swap day. I can do oil changes, but I could use a hand on transmission/differential fluid stuff. (I might even need to do power steering, as that was low last time I looked and I had forgotten about it until now!)

    Just BYOFluids, beer included, and swap everything out!

    It's this one. Let's talk! I'm trying to hoard $$ for a new bumper(s) and/or CAI since the wifey doesn't like when our savings is used for that :p

    Ok, do you know if it's the same width as the standard bars?
