    I have decided I am going a different route with steering upgrades. This is a modified, used OEM tundra steering rack that has been modified for install into a Tacoma. You can read all up on this rack here & see some YouTube videos of Travis and his Dad doing some really slick machine work.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/modified-tundra-rack-swap-preorder.625844/
    I will ship the rack, I am asking that buyer pay shipping or we work out a deal on splitting shipping or something. Let me know, I am in phoenix AZ. I paid $1350 for this rack & I’d like to keep the price at about that. Solo motor sports makes and sells virtually this same rack for $1650. You can read up on it here https://www.solomotorsports.com/sho...ta-parts/toyota-tacoma-steering-rack-upgrade/

    this comes with new mounting bungs/barrels and grade 8 mounting bolts also. I am located in phoenix AZ

    Currently undecided. I am considering the jd fab slide rack and or the jd fab Howe tc pump setup. Not 100% sure set on either of those though. I also don’t have the time to get this fabbed in and I don’t want to just sit on it for a while.

    This is where I'm at too. otherwise I'd snag it from you. Gonna hold out for the JD/Howe setup.

    For those worried or concerned. Here are some pics showing a FACTORY TACOMA MOOG INNER TIE ROD screwed into tundra rack, with TUNDRA boot. There is obviously a nice steering rack lip to hold the inboard boot nice and snug, but you will need to hose clamp the outboard boat to the Tacoma tire rod, no problem, a great solution to boots on this rack

    BUMP still available.

    TO BE CLEAR - I am not attempting to make money on Travis and his fathers hard work with the creation of this modified rack. FULL TRANSPARENCY I paid $1350 to Travis for this rack and I am looking for $1350 OBO for it. I just wanted to put that out there because I know in the EARLY posts on his threads he was only charging $1000 IIRC for this rack years ago.

    I can't leave anything well enough alone
    Good. Happy for you - I was on the fence back and forth with it, couldn't decide and this forced the decision and probably saved me from spending unnecessary money at the same time.
