TC coil bucket gussets ??? & hopefully answers

The question is will these work with other tubular aftermarket upper control arms (Icon, Camburg, etc)?

TC states "Compatible only with TC UCA's or L/T kits, not intended for use with factory control arms."

Bump! I would like to know this as well. I am running Light Racing UCA's.

 

I am curious to know as well, but won't be able to tell really, but can double check with stock UCAs as I am going to install the tower gussets soon along with TC UCAs,

 

I'm looking to run them with Icon Tubular uni ball Uppers, but I think everyone could benifit from knowing which brands will truely fit. It's hard to believe only TC arms will fit.

Is there a TC rep on this site?

 

It specifically says it will NOT work with stock uppers

 

They will work with any aftermarket control arms. They are all the same. The only ones that wont fit are the light racing ones and the hiemed billet aluminum icon arms.

 

I looked over your build and don't see coil bucket gussets, how are you sure?

 

Well shit... Why is it that they won't work with the LR's?

 

They work with Camburgs. I have the TC gusseted coil bucket + Camburg UCA set-up on my '07 FJ Cruiser.

 

I have light racing uppers with coil bucket gussets just gotta do little modifying and mocking up

 

Here we go, This is the feedback we are looking for here!

Sweet, Thanks Guys!

Anyone else?

Anyone running the gussets w/Icon Tubular uni ball uppers?

 

Go on


Your build thread was too long to go page by page and apparently the words "UCA" "Racing" "gusset" don't have hits and "light" only gave me info about your Mag light holder. I skimmed a little but didn't find anything...

 

I haven't updated my build for a while hahah. As for the uppers and the gussets all I did was bolt the gusset and I did couple tack welds. This is the tricky part when your weldin it in place make sure you take the uppers in and out.

I screwed up on mine I tighten the top bolt to much and I fully welded the gusset and pulled out the upper I couldn't put it back in because I tightens the bolt to much so lots of mock up is key

 

Anyone else have feedback?

 

You can ask the Icon rep on TW.

I'm sure he would know, or could easily find out (since TC is ~13 miles away from Icon).

 

PM sent to Icon rep. I'll post back with responce.

 

Here's the responce I received from Icon Rep via PM

"We have not actually tried this, but honestly no one can think of why it would not work fine. If there arm works our is not much different in terms of mounting so you should be fine."

 

That is what I am thinking really. My guess is TC added that part to the gussets to encourage people to buy their UCA's.

 

I agree that any tubular arm should work. I will probably be having the bucket gustets installed in the next few months and will post to the outcome.
