Sliders for lower links

[rb4638]

Anyone that's wheeled their 100 series knows that even with a lift, these beasts drag their bellies over everything. After beating the crap out of my lower link mounts I ordered a set from Toyota. As these needed to be welded on I asked my brother at Agile Offroad in El Cajon if he could do it. No problem, he said. Not only did they weld on the stock bracket,they also fabricated a slider so it won't be as easily bashed up again. They also fabricated up new upper links as mine were pretty worn. Dual Durometer bushings at each end. They made a jig up for the uppers if anyone is interested shoot the an email info@agileoffroad.com.

Awesome. Just another sweet addition to one of the best built 100's out there.

Nice. That slider is going to protect that mount, a lot. Probably serve as a little ramp, as well.

Great solution! I've been planning to plate mine but the shapes are strange, the tube solution looks like the best way to go, easy to build, easy to keep clear of crud. I may have to copy this solution on mine.

I like it. I've seen several other members here make some good mods to this area; if you did them all I'm sure you'd be set.
- add a piece of plate that wraps over the front of the link mount and join the 2 sides together to protect link end (but still leave room to articulate link obviously).
- add piece of angle iron to the bottom of the links to strengthen and keep from bending.
