I don't know enough to say what the differences to a 2WD Tacoma are. A 2WD 4runner I'm pretty sure is identical to a 4WD 4runner, but the 2WD 4runner also retains 6 lug I'm pretty sure which would indicate the 2WD Tacoma has a bit more differences going on. I would measure the frame scan and...

Yea that style is exactly what you want. And you can incorporate geometry like the kinked lower easily. I had the exact same tools at my disposal when I made that design, so I completely understand the position you're in. And if you look at stuff like All Pro or even some Total Chaos kits, they...

That cycled 14" with completely stock Tundra axles, though that required a custom shock tower since the arm was completely flat and didn't have the kink that my later designs incorporated. Getting it aligned was hard, but I think that was mainly due to most shops not wanting to touch it due to...

I've updated the 1st page a bit. I uploaded all my STEP models to GrabCAD and linked them. This also includes both the tube construction and plate construction arms between my original and second generation designs. Additionally there is the 3rd gen frame scan and the 1st gen 4runner arms also...

The 1st gen 4runner arms that I posted in response to that other guy above is actually a true J-arm upper and has the uniball integrated to the upper arm in the orientation you show. Additionally I have a 3rd gen design I've been slowly working on that I call the gen 2 that is very similar to...

I asked my friend and he confirmed it's the "Tacoma" clevis kit he bought. I'm sure you could convert the setup to the same heims at some point, the misalignment is really the determining factor for width/bolt size. At the beginning of October we changed the orientation of the spindle side heim...

That looks like what we installed. I didn't buy it, but I am positive the steering racks are identical to the Tacoma.

Yes sir. Here are the assembly STEP files: UCA: Free CAD Designs, Files & 3D Models | The GrabCAD Community Library LCA: Free CAD Designs, Files & 3D Models | The GrabCAD Community Library The upper utilized custom mounts on the frame. The lower as I recall fit in the stock location, but it's...

The only reason for the washers was to set the outer tie rod at the correct position to fix the bump steer, and by using washers it was easy to quickly dial it in. Once the height was determined with the washers a proper spacer could be swapped in. And the reason I had issues was how I setup the...

No sir, I only design things with tools I have :D Should be pretty easy to take multiple parts and combine them into one with bends though.

I forget what the misalignment bore is, but it's one of those imperial sizes that is nearly identical to the metric equivalent, so the off the shelf misalignment does actually work with the bolt completely fine and is a pretty close fit. With that said I don't know if the CAD misalignment is...

Some more information, some of which I'll add to the OP: This is the original long travel I did for more reference. As you can see the UCA is just some sections of square tubing (4 in total as I recall) with miter cuts that wraps around. Very simple, though harder to get good uniball...

That is very cool! Much fancier than anything I've ever done. My "next generation" setup is along a similar approach, though I'm pretty lazy about working on it since I don't have a 3rd gen anymore.

Correct, same plates just flip them.

1. No taper, I just did a round puck, and where that lower hemisphere is I laid a bead of weld in and then another bead on top of the puck. I also cut a hex out of the top so the bolt head was locked in from rotating, though I can't remember for the life of me how I did that (made the LBJ...
