Slowly adding the @plaidwagon product lineup to CruiserPatch.com

Moving forward, Kyle's products will be hosted on my site and branded with the 'Cruiser Patch' logo. Everything about their construction and function remains the same. I'm extremely thankful to Kyle for his interest in my brand and for trusting me to take the reigns in good faith that I will maintain his high level of customer service and quality control.

Check them out here: Cruiser Patch products (new to old)

I've had a few questions about the 100 Series Cam Eliminator kit (AKA lockout plates).

FAQ:

1. Why should I use these/do I need them?
A: The two most common reasons to use this kit are to prevent alignment setups from changing during harsh off-road driving conditions and to prevent uneducated technicians from changing your alignment setup if you know it's set where you want. Most drivers do not need these plates.

2. Do they limit or add caster/camber in any way?
A: No. They work within the factory specs of adjustment to prevent the eccentric cams (deleted if using these) from moving on trails.

3. How do they work? Do you have a diagram for alignment specs with each position?
A: The plates can be rotated to move the M14 hole into different positions. By loosening the bolt/nut, one can adjust alignment numbers by rotating the plates. While the positions correlate to different alignment specs (i.e. max vs min caster) there will be variation truck to truck. Generally, as the top of the spindle/knuckle is pulled towards the firewall, caster will increase on the 100 Series platform (most IFS alignments function the exact opposite- moving the bottom of the knuckle away from the firewall increases caster).

Here's an alignment sheet from my vehicle with a bent RH spindle/knuckle (1 degree of positive camber). Next to it is an alignment sheet from a few months before I installed the cam eliminators (caster remains unchanged but camber changed after the spindle/knuckle bent).
I run SPC UCAs with the UBJs in position 'B' for maximum caster with usable camber.

@cruiserpatch Do you have any 223V springs available in stock ?
Actually, yes. Had a customer return a set recently so I've got one pair on my shelf

Heck of a deal!
One wheel is less than converting mine to beadlocks through OMF.
Don't really want to wait 5 months though.

Just added some Japanese bearings to the product lineup which should save folks a fair amount of money.

The tensioner pulley bearing on the 2UZ often goes out but replacing the pulley alone costs about as much as the whole tensioner assembly.

The OE tensioner assembly (16620-0W101) uses an NTN bearing made in Canada which, in my experience, can last as little as a year before failure.
I keep a JTEKT/Koyo tensioner bearing in my truck now just in case.

I've also added the NSK version of the idler pulley to the site which is nearly half the cost of the OEM Toyota pulley (16604-50030).

I'll be updating more parts soon.

P.S. anyone going to KTTR and/or CROCKIES in a few weeks? See you there!
 
Just got back from my month long road trip. 8500 miles and beat the hell out of the 27mms. With the extra weight added to the LX I got the pressures back in spec without even having to re-index them. And tons of adjustment still left in the bolts. More pics to come in my build thread. And probably some stuff that'll start some arguments too. XD

Just added another Cruiser Patch original to the site-

The rear wiper motor bracket for the 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470 (non-barn door style only) is a stamped part which develops a micro fracture in one of the bends/stamps. Over time the fracture widens and eventually fails completely (see photos).

The rear wiper arm is a necessity when driving in heavy rain or trying to clean the back glass for visibility. Can't live without it, personally- especially driving in ATL with all the crazy altimas flying around at 200+ mph...

New bracket is black powder coated, CNC cut & bent 1.6mm 4130 chromoly. Re-use OEM hardware and bushings for a direct bolt-in solution.

I removed the wiper arm from the motor assembly for ease of viewing (above).

OE part number for the sub-assembly is 85080-60170

If anyone finds the bracket PN please let me know so I can update the SKU of my replacement.

This OEM bracket (above) was unbroken out of a low mileage LX470. I bent it by hand and revealed the micro-fractures in the stamped steel
