    I'm redoing it tomorrow while it's up on a lift, where I'll have more control applying the developer. I scraped the powder coat off with an exacto blade

    At least if it is cracked then it's an easy fix if you can weld.

    Sorry Mike, I may have jacked the thread a bit.

    wet mag particle is way easier to do on steel parts. I think it's very possible that the cracked paint/coating is just indicating some flex there.

    So what is the rack based on?

    Upgraded stock rack, modified tundra rack, some other modified rack, totally custom?

    Could be wrong but looks like tundra rack, tundra inner tie tie rods, custom tube adapter, to a one ton/fj 80 outer tie rod.

    LOL same here! Been doing some reading up, you might be able to get away with a 200 series Land Cruiser rack and pinion. Still reading up on it, more to follow

    Seems like it did. Which is a shame as I know there were a lot of people, not even in this thread, looking forward to the mar rack
