    Ok I need some help. I'm looking for some first gen 4x4 spindles and some stock 4x4 axles. I'm willing to buy or give a good discount on the 4x4 spindles I'm going to make for the long travel kits I'm in the process of designing.

    Thank you

    ...too much shit to list.
    Ummm....make sure you post them up here when you're done designing them! :)
    You want tundra axles, or tacoma axles? I'm assuming Tundra since you said LT.

    It looks like you're running 8" stroke shocks up front which I would suggest running a longer shock to reduce wear. The heat off the engine increases the oil wear too especially if you still have a stock core support that traps it in. Also it helps the rate at which shocks work when they are pretty warm too, so keep that in mind.

    You're going with a spool for a daily driven truck!?

    It wouldn't be the worst thing I've done to affect driveability. Hell, I'm running manual brakes.

    A combination of clearance issues between my secondary shocks and booster, and that I don't want to run the risk of losing breaks if the engine dies. Came in handy in 2010 while getting pulled out of the hills with a shattered upper oil pan. It prevented me from rear-ending the guy giving me to tow.

    Mike, come race in the BRT series!!! The guys that started and run the organization are a great group and have a lot of stuff planned to get desert racing in Texas more known and popular. I had the opportunity to run recovery last year at the Chupacabra 300 and it was awesome. You should definitely look into it. I know this year they have about 5 races planned.

    Nice! And noted. :)

    Cheaper entry fees and 4 fewer travel days make it the most reasonable option for me. Fuel, food, and hotels add up fast!

    Fuel, food, and lodging added up fast for me, and all I did was run recovery, lol! I can imagine how quickly it adds up for you. I spent a good chunk of the money I earned from working over the summer just to go the 300 miles to get there, and i slept in my truck in the pits. But it's one of the best experiences I've ever had, I will definitely be going back for more races this season. If you do come down to race I can promise you'll have at least one fan and one more support vehicle at your service:D
