    Not as easy if the mounting holes are different. Plus the ratio of the FJ rack is more advantageous. Probably be easier to make shims for the rack stabilizer and modify the rack to stabilizer mounts. But I know the success of this device is in proper alignment, which is why having a complete vehicle there is the preferred approach.

    Yeah, moving the mounting holes is a PITA. But doable. It's the hard part of the tundra rack swap.

    @Arcticelf

    Add me to the LT list (with Uniball lowers) even though looks like we won’t reach the full 10...

    In the name of Toyota science. Let me know if you need a FJ for test fit. I can't afford the slide rack but not too far off in south Orange County. I'm sure you probably have access to an FJ there but just putting it out there in case.

    Just a heads up guys...

    I’m doing a bunch of the 934 kits right now and wanted to point out the difference in OEM parts. The stub shaft of the right is OE and the one on the left is aftermarket, notice the tapered flange on the aftermarket.

    The aftermarket stuff accepts our flange kit the same as the OE but the difference is in the strength. When cutting them apart the bandsaw struggles to get through the OE stuff compared to the aftermarket where the saw just cuts right through.

    Please make sure you are sending me the OE stuff to maximize the strength.

    Quick note: It should be corrected on the list to be WITH uni-ball, I was added to the list as 'non-uniball'

    I think both @Airdog and I are picking up locally. Just so we know how to schedule a drive out there to pick them up.

    Since we didn't hit the goal for the LT or steering, what's the plan?

    That's more a comment on lead time than availability. All of the stuff in the GB will be on the JD Fab site.

    Will they? Because I’d love the whole set up. Next year. I thought trekker suggested they wouldn’t be making them anymore. See my post above.
