    so you want to spend 1300 on modified 4x4 spindles that will only make them stronger when you can spend $42 on gussets and if you break one of those you are doing shit you shouldnt be doing in a non caged truck

    edit: meant spindles not axels

    there are currently no aftermarket spindles for the 4x4 tacoma. your only option for a stronger spindle is to gusset the stock spindles

    the dust cap only seals off the top part of the uni ball. the lower portion is still exposed to the elements...

    what i was getting at are there are more differences from the Icon and TC UCA's besides the dust cap... bushings, heims, metal, billet aluminum...

    no problem man, take the sway bar off for sure, you will love it with it off. but read some other threads on others opinions... people swear it saved their life, i swear ill never have mine on again.. so its more personal preferance.

    350 ehh thats not bad. most shops are 100/hr. and they need to take the spindle off too. so not bad
