Ya, I can't wait to get crawler in the 4runner. Vocom thanks for the link to your hydro-assist. I like the slip over the TR bracket you made pretty sweet. I was just going to weld it to the TR. I never thought of the TREs unscrewing. I think I'll put a tack on the nuts.
I wouldnt tack the nuts....
If welded my brackets to the tie rod but am planning to make a moveable bracket to get a better angle. Mad4wd and ballistic fab both sell tube clamps that are pretty sick..they arent in the right size but all you would have to do is sleeve a part of the tie rod to make them work. or if you're ambitious you could make your own
