    Agreed. Not sure whether to install it on the truck, or mount it on the living room wall.

    Any chance you're planning some 5G 4Runner stuff because I have a new truck that needs some love and I'm all about a local shop.

    Good progress on the back half of the Tacoma with @454Motorsports

    Prototype DRT spec @atlassuspension leafs cycled perfectly. 14 5/8” of capable travel and cycled 13 3/8” with the 12” @adsracingshocks bypasses. Some minor tweaks and 16” of travel is a very possible number to hit with a 15” smooth body from @adsracingshock Pretty impressive for a SOA Tacoma AND under the bed. Paired with our shock relocation, hangers, and new threaded bump stops.

    @dmzfab frame boxing kit is in, wiring harnesses are P clamped, axle is nice and refreshed, 24” brake lines are in(will need longer if we push travel numbers past 14 5/8”)

    Final assembly and limit straps going in today along with our CMR on the front.

    I finished welding up my drt spindle gussets yesterday. Really nice product from DRT. The fit is perfect.
    Is it a good idea to replace the axle seals in the spindle after welding on them?

    They can be reused but I typically replace them since I’m already there.

    Now those are some sweet TIG welds. I look at a lot of them.
    You would be surprised what passes for welding these days.

    Your products look to be excellent quality.
    You got mad skills!

    @drtfabrication any chance of getting another run of the bed mounted spare tire holders for the 3rd gen tacomas? Missed the last drop yall did. My 35inch spare doesnt fit under the bed anymore and got my hammer hangers too so no spare anymore under bed.

    I've always wondered, do you paint the inside of the frame plates before welding?
