    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I really like your bumpers... sub'd

    Cutting out a bunch of second gen rear frame plates this week. As well as doing a uniball conversion on a first gen Tacoma for a super old camburg 3.5 ball joint long travel kit. Running stock spindles and the stock steering arm on the spindle. Stay tuned for pictures.

    Those of you who are do-it-yourself'ers might like this. 1st gen coilbucket top hat for engine crossmember. Bolts on, gives you a place to build off for an over engine brace.

    They come as just the plate. Ill make a thread to see if theres any interest. Im thinking $55 shipped. 2 plates, no hardware.

    These older LCAs had this long cast ball joint reciever sticking out. Cup is welded inside, and plated outside. Ugly arms to begin with, ugly after but solid.

    I really want a lower uniball. Super paranoid about these balljoints


    What do you do about the spindle now??

    Well, the ball joint in the steering arm is removed, it is then capped and welded to accept a three quarter inch Bolt. I'll get you a couple of pictures today when I get back to the shop. Let me know if you're interested in the swap.

    I'm still waiting on the guy to send me pictures that he took of the lower ball joint adapter I made. I don't see why it wouldn't work with any ball joint lower suspension for the Tacomas. If you have camburg 3.5 kit on yours first gen, it's probably the same kit that I have on a truck if it's in the shop now. There's no reason why I couldn't put a uniball in there. Piece of cake.
