    Fixed a flat and gave her a wash. Haven’t driven it in 4 months, missed the supercharger whine :burnrubber:
    Just needs new suspension now.

    I did the 13WL Tundra upgrade, with the Adventure Taco line kit. Worked like a charm.

    Too damn hot to do anything outside.

    Did a bit more video editing. I don't pretend to know what I'm doing (yet) but I'm giving it a try/

    Let's talk Cam Tab Gussets...

    Need to order a set. Any differences I should know about? Better, worse?

    Looking at
    All Pro - seem to do all the locations. Inner and outer.
    https://lowrangeoffroad.com/weld-on-lower-control-arm-cam-tab-gussets.html

    Total Chaos - look to be the same as All Pro only more expensive.
    https://www.chaosfab.com/product/20...-Lower-Control-Arm-Cam-Tab-Gussets-59860-10FJ

    Any other options out there? Better than these? Otherwise, I think I'll just pull the trigger on the All Pro.

    Just run a thick bead on the backside of the factory tabs. That'll keep them from bending unless you really start pushing it hard. If you do just get the alignment cam eliminator kit.

    How do those eliminator plates work? I've seen those, but (example) right now, I need to max out my caster to get the tire off the wheel well. Where does that eliminator place the alignment?

    The thick bead idea is the way I think I'll go for the reinforcement. Sounds a LOT easier... and cheaper too :thumbsup:

    Neutral, full inboard, full outboard. Those are your 3 choices. With SPC uppers it's super easy to dial in alignment.

    My SPC's are set to E. The front cam plates are set inboard and the rears outboard.

    Camber L -.65
    Camber R -.72

    Castor L 2.10
    Castor R 2.27

    I know it might sound crazy but I have had way better customer service when I order from Wheeler's page VS Low Range. I was trying to get correct bushings for the rear shocks and low Range gave me a part number and said good luck after I had spent $2500 on a lift kit

    I spent $300 on shocks through wheeler's had the same issue with the eyelet bushings and when I contacted wheeler's they over nighted me the correct bushings at no cost and apologized for the delay in my build
