I have experienced that when using stainless nuts on steel bolts or vice versa without anti-seize. But hoping by providing clear instructions and a small amount of anti-seize we can eliminate that common problem and have the hardware last a long time.
Plus who doesn’t like getting a little anti-seize on everything seconds after opening a packet?
Guaranteed 3.5-4 seconds of happiness according to my research.

I still haven’t found a good way to get it out of fingerprint grooves short of sanding off the fingerprints entirely.
Nitrile gloves work too I guess.
Just to help those that are apprehensive about the steering shaft mod.
Just spent an obscene amount of money trying to find something in the Toyota catalog.
4526012710 looks to be the Toyo OEM workaround. @MTKID is going to order it and toss it on his larger than 1.5” BL to be the static test dummy. Mine is ordered as of 3 minutes ago.
Hopefully this is a simple solution and gets more people onboard with his kit he’s put so much effort into.
This is a half baked solution at this time. Cross your fingers.
Good luck everyone!

I'm guessing this is longer then the 200 series one? By how much?
This is a Dorman @Rusty Hinge purchased for testing. Toyota part ordered. Looks like more than an 1”, but we’ll see.

The dorman was at least an inch longer fully extended but that slip yoke shouldn’t be pulled all the way out and driven on. Hopefully the Prius SS is better quality and has just as much length. When I put my BL on, the notch in the steering shaft missed the capture bolt by maybe a 1/4”. I suspect that was after the engineered slack was already eaten up, not knowing how much play the stock steering shaft had to move up and down.
If math still maths, it’s not a 1:1 ratio of BL to length needed due to the angle of the shaft in relation to the lift. Angle increase versus height increase. Just off the eyecrometer, it’s going to work on my test dummy of a toaster.

1st run of 1” and 1.5” in aluminum for test fitting. Initial fitting appears to be perfect

Just a wee bit cleaner than mine lol! Looks amazing man!
Love this thread. With the size of the 200 I've always felt 35's as a minimum, but 37's seem to fit the profile perfectly.

I spoke to Trim Lok today and they are going to ship out a few samples of shapes they’ve made in the past but aren’t currently on the shelf. It will probably be a few weeks. We’ll see if one of them is a good fit. They’ll only sell it in 125’ rolls, so if one of them is particularly good, I may be able to order a roll and offer to cut segments as needed for people.
I’ve been trying SO hard to avoid opening any more social media accounts, starting before IG was a thing. I too am excited to learn more preferably here on MUD. Looking great @MTKID!
