Nice work man

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...

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...

Woah @MTKID, I just got caught up on this thread with the last few pages. You weren’t lying about the interest to get a kit together.

Nice work on the mention Tiny. I found that piece to have a less than confidence inspiring fit to the OEM upper steering shaft. I did end up tossing the part in the drill press and using a roll pin to secure it fully. I am a firm believer that there should as close to a 0% chance of failure...

How has the updated seal been for the last year? Issues with the previous generation? I had them on my GX and didn’t have any issues. Just received a set for my LX.

I've been toying with proof of concepts with the radiator shroud mounting. The proper process is taking a bit more thought and time than expected. I am trying not to cut the shroud and keep all mounting points intact so it is completely reversible. Once I get some 3D printed mounts finalized...

Thanks man, I’m about to swap the wheels out and see about fitment with a different offset. ‘22 KTM 500 XCF-W It’s a box of bolts but lugs well with my smokin buddies and their 300’s. That’s the plan, going in stages to try to pace myself on this build, last one spun out of control, quite...

Roger that. I’ll get to writing something up. Maybe I’ll make time tomorrow evening. Mostly in Spring and downtown. Preciate the welcome man. I’d be happy to get some Houston guys together to talk about some ideas. Maybe a Sam Houston trip to the woods. Nothing but respect and gratitude for...

MTKID made me do it. Square 1.5” body lift and sensor levels adjusted. 37x12.5, you already know the tire. Tundra front ready to install. Gears and lockers on the way. Any interest in another build thread? Going for a clean and simple Highlander to carry my dog in to the grocery store.
