Installed the bumper on my buddy's truck in 100deg heat and 2 days later he gets rear-ended. The 3-piece bolted seam pulled apart, bumper fix tbd. He'll need a new bed quarter panel it's bowed out above the wheel.

Damn, the irony of life rears it's ugly head.

Curious if you've seen this and your thoughts on the bump steer being fixed.

[MENTION=119302]4RunnerAquasport[/MENTION] I haven't seen that product, these are my numbers I measured on the computer so they could be more or less accurate than real life idk.

1.5* is still 4.5 times worse than stock steering rack at .34* across 12.5" of travel.

There's only so much room between the brake shield and steering rack.

That's what I was thinking. My memory is horrible, but I do remember the clearance on the shield was only a fraction of what we needed. That's why I asked.

I guess the 5th gen rack is the newest latest greatest steering upgrade in the GX crowd.

Im still on an 8 year old 4th gen reman w 315/70/17s. I guess 37s are the metric for a steering upgrade.

I did the Rubicon on a stock rack and stock tie rods on 37s with stock CVs. And some KS and Colorado wheeling. If I had the means would I upgraded before doing the Rubicon again? Yes. But not really required.

That's impressive. I would say lack of experience in the rocks (myself included) and poor spotting, may be the reason for a lot of the failures over the years. That and the Tacoma guys finding out their stock rack can't handle Prerunner jumps and whoops at 70 mph.
