NOTHING worked for timing today. Arms weren't ready at powder until late afternoon.

Anyway a poser shot of the arms. Still need to get mine assembled and 5 more sets at powder. I got all the others assembled and boxed up. Forgot to take a picture complete. But, you get the idea.

Yes. I actually have one arm on right now.... Need a new bolt for the other side. Bolt rounded on the one and need to run to Toyota and get a new one.

I had a customer (AHC delete) send me this pic on his TourFlex install with my arms.

WOW!!! That thing looks soooo good! Is that new paint? Good job.

Those look real nice!

 

[Kmonty66]

The front looks super clean with the Lights and grill by @kelly saad and then the clear turn lenses, great contrast clean and mean. Makes me want to upgrade to that look.

 

[kelly saad]

I want some clear lenses. Where did you get them?

Mr. Trail Tailor. Was Ele Ele going to be the test subject for the Solid Axle Swap Kit? If your selling this one, are we going to see a Trail Tailor SAS sometime. Just curious over here. I'd hate to be on your "Do NOT Sell To List" for bothering your creativity.

I have a 100 in storage in Spokane that I need to go fetch. I still have this kit in the works, just need to catch some more free time.

I like the extra beef those sliders are packing.

I’ve been begging for a rear swingout with a centered carrier. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

(There may be a rear Slee for sale in the future)

What tire pressure are you running for street? It sounds like a dumb question, but the tire shop sent me out the door with 40psi in all four 275-70-18 BFG KO2's. I dropped down to 35psi and stock (on the door jamb) is 29f/27r. Thinking I should go down more, but there's not a good baseline for tire pressure on a 100.

I'm at 42 right now, because that's where my tire guy set them out when he mounted them and brought them to me. Once I get my bumpers on I'll chalk test each tire to see where I need to be. Probably around the 33-35 mark.

Center section for the front bumper is cut and bent.
