    I realize you have probably been / will certainly be super busy. Whenever you have some time I'd love to here your input on this

    Hello excorcist, thanks for bringing your Q to my attention. The bend frame I pictured earlier was from the 4Runner we sponsored for the King Of the Hammers. So I have not had this experience yet. This is a good question and short of finding a replacement LCA that isn't bend and trying to realign your frame to that, an idea you just gave me is that we could make a thin/inexpensive laser cut part that inserts into each LCA mount (flange) that can be used as a sort of guide or template to check the frame.

    Where is the *idea* smiley when you need one.

    Question: Have you already picked up a known good lower arm, or, do you think your current lower arm did not get bent during whatever happened to ya?

    Thanks
    BigMike
