anyone have these installed?
Spindle Gussets

what is the proper way to weld these on?

on the rig?
off the rig?

is welding to the cast spindles an issue?
pre-heating and cooling of the spindle a must?

any help is greatly appreciated

I would remove the spindle, or at least remove the bits that don't like heat. Most Toyota parts are cast steel, so weld like standard steel. I would stitch, allow to cool, repeat to keep heat, warping to a minimum.

Tools hit the nail on the head.

Honestly, if you want any more info on welding to the FJ knuckles, give Mark or LT a call at MT on monday

One thing since you are going All Pro. Since the video and write up were on TC just know that they weld on opposite to the way the AP spindles do.
