    Not sure how many people know about this so far, but I would imagine the line will be out the door for these...... I know I would buy them right now....

    Let's all go crazy and hound them for a group buy extravaganza.

    More #prototype parts! 05+ #toyota #tacoma and 03+ #4runner “stock replacement” lower arms. These push the lower balljoint forward about 3/4” for better firewall clearance and increased caster numbers. Thanks to @designed.by.moranfor the #cad help on these. This first pair is going to our friends @drtfabrication to test out on their truck so we can get some feedback to finalize the design if changes are needed. As always Dane @bricktopwelding laying down the #mig #welding#smallbusiness #offroad #truckparts #fabrication#madeintheusa

    Damn! I already have stock geometry TC's, but I like how this provides some caster correction from below. I assume that with the caster being adjusted in the LCA, it still plays nice with aftermarket UCA's with 3° of caster built in...?

    I personally rubbed worse with JBA HC UCA's. I just ended up having to go back and purchase SPCs. Not having camber adjustment on the upper is a real problem with 35's

    With those I can run my LCAs are far forward as they go, as well as set them to +4 castor as well. Now that will give me tire clearance, but it will also give me a shitty castor angle and I'll loose some stability. These should be able to push the bottom forward even more, so ever more room for activities, and better castor angle. 35's will have plenty of room. They are marketing this as "37's might be the new 35's"

    No reason to push past 37 on stock geometry, really 37's are for LT and anything bigger you should just go SAS or the Marlin RCLT.

    Oh lawd. Where can I get these?

    Are the LBJ pressed in from the top or bottom? I like the OEM design where you have no chance of ending like the 1st gen tacoma with a folded front wheel.
