Yea you're right. We should of done that, and we probably will before the truck hits the dirt. The uniballs too.

we got the kit from steve (socalmoto on here). he tacked it up and we welded it up. we should be getting around 19 inches bumped and strapped.

What's the plan for the hubs?

made some progress for day 2. cycles 17.5" but should get closer to 20" w/o much trouble.

looks good man

The hubs are from a pre 85 4x4 toyota (solid axle), the brakes are from the older 4x4 ifs toyota, and the rotors are for an 89 landcruiser. Kind of a mixed pot, but parts are easy to get from kragen or napa.

Yes this is the cleanest Ive ever seen it!! I wasnt too sure handing the kit over since its not just a bolt on, but they have gone way past my expectations. Very good job guys!!!

You can get them from Mike at http://www.mikesspecialtyrepair.com/contact.html , that is where Josh got mine at $50 each for the hub or snout

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

I drew up some hub covers, should have them in the next couple days.....

No picture updates for today cause we couldnt get the pics off the camera. But we got the steering tabs all welded and threw gussets in various places so the suspension fabwork is pretty much all done as far as the geometry and mounting and stuff. Now we gotta start slinging tubes and build the engine cage to mount the shocks and bumps.

have any pictures of the actual hub or know the measurements for the snout pattern that bolts to the spindle? i just started building a kit for a 01 tundra last friday,only dropped of the dimensions for the lower to the cnc plasma cutter cause i havent yet figured out what to do for the hubs.i assume the hub keeps the same wheel pattern..

30 bucks a set i believe. Should have the first batch knocked out this week

Looks pretty good. You are going to run a secondary shock right? And what about steering? 17" or more will obliterate the stock rack, so are you planning on a custom setup?

I was told "We're shooting for $60 for a pair"
I feel scammed.

Ya we're planning on getting a bypass when money allows.

If the rack does become an issue then we'll figure something out, but at the moment the stock rack will have to do
