Upper & Lower Link Mount Reinforcement! (ULR & LLS)
Hey guys, I started some ads on IG for the 3rd Gen LLS and realized I hadn't formally announced it here yet!
As you know, most of my stuff is born right here on T4R, because of you guys; after @rkntoy folded over his frame side lower link mount (read about it here) I looked into existing products and didn't really see anything that actually reinforced the factory mount and acted as a skid to lift the mount up and over rocks, so I made something to do both: https://i1.wp.com/eimkeith.com/wp-co...8144.jpg?w=450 super easy install; just slide it over the mount, reinsert the factory pivot bolt, swing the LLS up into position against the frame, and weld it on. https://i2.wp.com/eimkeith.com/wp-co...ize=1024%2C768 (please excuse the HUGE weld seams on the prototype pictured here - the production version is shown directly below) @theesotericone was the first install, and it went well - without dropping the tank: https://i.imgur.com/6tPxjfM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/UX2Sdn2.jpg https://independentoffroading.com/in...ec7-jpeg.2271/ and just last week, @Plastics guy joined the club: https://i0.wp.com/eimkeith.com/wp-co...ize=1024%2C768 https://i2.wp.com/eimkeith.com/wp-co...ize=1024%2C768 (awesome shot) needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about these - if you're planning to wheel with stock links (or beefy links in the stock configuration), these may save you a lot of headache! If any of you guys install them, please send me pics! EDIT: Upper Link Mount Reinforcement is a go as well - click here to order the ULR! |
Dang, that blows the coverage of the Lotus RCAM skids I have out of the water.

As usual the cuts/angles/bends are all PERFECT and the fit was tight as can be. There is nothing better, I would have paid double (seriously) Quote:

Quick kit for the axle side upper mount?
I know I could do my own, but yours are prettier. |
Something else you come up with gotta have on mall crawler.
Good design for sure. |

I've never really given much thought about where the trans pump pickup line is until that moment. As soon as I couldn't move my first thought was I busted the linkage. That looked fine so I got a tug out of that trap. Then the rig drove fine the rest of the trip. |

also, I really need a set of these. Awesome work as always @eimkeith |

Dunno; someone sent me these photos yesterday: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...16868fc3a7.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...77c4d7f949.jpg There really isn't room for big joints in the mounts, so they get a lot of additional loading when the joint contacts the mount during articulation. The reinforcements above allow the upper to be cut away to clear properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
