    This is finally starting to move along. This coming month plans are to have the first kit finished. Technically it'll be the 2nd, since one is already in use.

    I definitely have plans to go through this same procedure for the pre 95 trucks.

    Thanks Alex. It cost $200 from the salvage yard, but it's a key component to making sure this kit fits all trucks correctly. Better than simply going off notes I made when I did Chris'. I never like shipping parts with my fingers crossed.

    See, here in CA we can chop up frames that have no signs of rust and make the people in the other states mad. :D

    Good to see you around dude.:waytogo:

    :lol: so sad but true. honestly though, you should wait for someone out here on mini's to back half a pre taco so you can pick up on that section. its cheaper that way cus you can offer to haul it away :D

    yea, i get your concern. its pins and needles should you be off by a fraction of a measurement.

    and whats this i hear about a mini-beefed on the way.....? congrats man! :headbang:

    I'm finishing the first official kit that'll ship to Canada. It's for another Taco, and I made a major change to the main cross member, but the rest of the kit should remain 99% unchanged.

    It's Beefy as hell, all bolt on except for 4 tabs that will be welded to the axle for the upper links, and takes $800 in parts just to get started, and that's not including the coil overs.

    This is a true triangulated very stout 4 link kit made for racing, not your run of the mill kit with poly bushings on one end of the links simply made for bagging. This kit holds up to gobs of power and is being tested every day on voodootrip's supercharged V6 with autocross and DDing. I'll post pics very soon when I have some worthy of posting.
