What have I been telling you for YEARS! Dump the SAW's and go back to stock.

Where have I heard that before.

 

This is great news. Now I can do something to fit 33's without sacrificing travel. I guess the spacers work best with the stock setup? Maybe cross-linked shocks also? Any idea how long these are going to be made? I won't be able to get a set anytime soon, but I'm definitely adding it to the wish list.

 

Yeah, ditch the Sway Aways, I get it. Ditch the IFS too. I will soon have family in Prescott and Scottsdale along with Phoenix. Time for a job, some money and a trip to see Uncle Steve!

With no bodylift, I think the spacers will get 33's into the fender and cause problems. Mroe trimming, or a bodylift should do it.

Stock bars are where its at. I got 25mm's in preparation for an ARB and a winch. I have the ARB, but not the winch. That might make a difference, but I do not have the time or money to fry that fish now.

I have had no issues at all. The alignment is within spec, it tracks straight and it soaks up bumps. I really think this could be some of the best $100 I have spent on the truck.

 

I have no plans to stop making them. The only thing that would stop them would be market saturation when everyone who would want some has some. With all the 1st and 2nd gen trucks around I think that'll be a while. In fact, this summer we plan to make a kit out of them with a frame brace and some other goodies. We'd work on it now but school is killing me for the next 3-4 weeks.

if your up this way (Prescott) let me know! Chris (BajaTaco) and I will show ya around.

 

Include me in on a group buy. I've been thinking about gettings these since Elripster's oringinal post.

 

When you guys have a ball park number, let me know and I'll get you a quote.

Frank.

 

If you get a group buy going, I'm down right now.

 

im down right about now too.

 

for now a tenative yes...will know funds and plans with a little time...it'd be a great group buy for sure!

 

Put me down too! My t-bars are cranked way too much... no flex at all!

 

ok so for a group buy list so far we have.....

1. KevyWevy
2. 86toyota
3. tenfourtyeight
4. Scarbro22
5. cabbage

if anybody else is interested add your name to the list

 

i'm down too.

[edit]
provided I get my driveline stuff worked out.

 

so is there any way we can do a 6 person group buy?

 

I'm ready when you are, but I might be buying two. One for me and one for a friend.

 

I'll put my name in the hat, too. It would be helpful if you could list the part # for the extended travel shocks you're using also.

 

I was wondering, is there any way to get regular bolts with the spacers? I have the worst luck and the worst experiences with allen wrenches.

 

mine are going on today!!! I'll let you know how it works with stock bars, heavy bumper and winch. should be pretty soft.

 

That is certainly possible. However, for the cost of ordering the hardware (or going to get it) you might consider some allen-sockets for the 3/8 ratchet or any set of allen wrenches that are in decent shape. You only need that end of the bolt to keep it from spinning while you tighten the other side. With all the friction, little torque is required hold them still. Given that these are some seriously hard bolts, you might find you have better luck with them than others.(I"ve boogered up more than a few of the lower grade socket cap screws)

Maybe try these first? After all if they work, saves you some dough. Otherwise, they M8's, a common diameter. You should be able to find some at a local hardware store. If you really want regular hex heads and can't source them locally, let me know and I'll get you some.

I'll definitely give it a try, I was just curious if we could get them in case these didn't work out. But since they're a common size that is also cool.
