    Mine is an inhousefab one from DRT fabrication. Excellent quality has a slight turn down at the top & ends up pretty much 90 degrees from level ground. I’ve driven it in the rain & filter seemed dry it’s not for everyone obviously but I personally love the look of it

    that’s not too bad with the 80, being 2” narrower then the second gen taco rear wms. Which knuckle are you running?

    Appreciate the insight. I'll have a 1-3/4 tube coming down the A-pillar, so unfortunately I've got to build my own that sits either higher off the A-pillar or further to one side. I do love the look.

    Thank you. Need to work something things out. Breaks feel great steering box is a little loose but that’s trail gear for ya. Rear shocks need to be put in and possibly an extra leaf. Only running 3leafs no overload in the 63s are right now with a 6” shackle

    Swap it? Go for it. If I could do it over again I’d just get the Martec front kit.

    There is a guy out west that can get the abs working. Send the front and rear hubs and he will machine them and send brackets to get the speedo and abs shit off the dash

    Those running hydro assist. Having a hard time getting smooth steering. Changed the gear box it’s better but soon as I go to turn the wheel fast it gets super stiff. Power steering pump issue? Flow issue Have sat and bleed and bleed the system and I can’t get it to act right

    IFS box? is the ram by chance hooked up backwards?

    even with a stock pump it shouldn't be stiff, I'm running a bigger ram on a tiny stock 22re pump and it's ezpz effort wise just slow

    Had this happen with a full hydro set up with a brand new psc pump. Changed the pump and no more stuff steering. On a further note moving the remote reservoir closer to the pump and installing the psc vent cap that holds pressure on the system helped with over all operation
