New ~ Toyota Arms

Edited: 8/7/2008 5:53:31 PM by TwistedMinis








Will be available adjustable or non adjustable. The purpose of the lowers being adjustable is so you can adjust caster via the lower arm the way it was from the factory. This leaves the upper arm only adjusting for camber, so you have an even amount of spacers, and a cleaner look from the engine bay. Uppers will be available soon as well. Prices to be determined after testing is complete. I've built two sets so far, one will be going on my truck for some R&D.

Some specs are...
~ .120 wall DOM
~ Screw in ball joints, included
~ Double shear mounts for added strength
~Bolts to stock bushings, comes with laser cut tabs to support rear bushing
~ Frame mount is 12 gauge plate doubled up for thickness, but one half further supports the mount for a shear load gusset application, to reduce stress on the 'butt weld' area.
~Will come plated and drilled for air bags
~100% TIG welded.

Very nice!

well ill test some! if you want...............lol...........cant wait to see the uppers

Make a set with a cross shaft instead of the tabs from the frame and I will buy them ASAP. They both work great, I just really like the design of the machined lower cross shaft. These do look great though, I cant wait to see the uppers. let me know as soon as they are done so I can pick up a set for the 4runner, also going to need some more dropped mounts soon.

CanDo already makes that style. I am not going to replicate whats already out there.

I also don't like the single shear mounting associated with the cross shaft style. I've seen the MII kits fail in the past. And with two small bushings, the lowers could not be adjusted.

I've come up with this design. I like it, and I'm going to stick with it. I don't see a point in making the same thing Steve makes, because at that point you are just buying a name, and he already makes a great arm.

looks good i will need a set to... asap

looking good seth as usual

to bad i dont have a yota or id have you make some for me

It will probably be close to a month before I let the first set out. I want to test them for a while on my truck, and also make sure they will lay 20s with a drop spindle before I put them out for sale. If you need something sooner than that, you may want to call CanDo and see what the wait is.

when you get the testing done. What is going be the cost of them when you decide to sell them.

To be determined. Will be cheaper as a package, and I am going to offer a free shipping deal for the first month.
