    Anyone running the keyed steering from FROR? Impressions?

    Blew up a trunion bearing this weekend so I'm looking to upgrade since the truck is down.

    Not me personally but they seem like the best option for Toyota steering knuckles. I don’t know if they will prevent trunion bearing failures any better than the rest of them though. May need to run some of marlin or TGs eliminators.

    If I ever have issues with my knuckle studs, I’ll switch to them fwiw. I run TG trunion eliminators and have never had any problems though

    Keyed arms are a great upgrade and really not that much work. Solid axle rigs are work and a well worth it.

    Not so much. Same amount of work as upgrading the bearings to 25mm.

    That's why I was questioning whether he was even talking about keyed arms. Very minimal work for a nice bump in strength.

It came with tons and 40s, lockers and front 3 linked. Probably not the best idea but it drives and steers better on the highway than my ifs taco on 35s.

    I need a new rear soft brake line for the taco. Does anyone remember the user here that was making them?

    I need a second line in the back for the new cutting brake setup.

    So who has the hookup on custom length brake lines? There used to be a member here that would make them, but I can't seem to find him.
