KD Crossmember Reinforcement (96-02 4Runner, 95-04 Tacoma)
$69.69
Another weak point on our beloved 3G4Rs & 1GTacos? Say it ain't so! Watch that rough terrain run away in fear, the Killdozer brace is here. In stock ready to ship!
After years of use and harsh trail runs, you may find yourself in the same situation we did - a cracked subframe, and quite the costly repair (see photos). After sharing our experience, and getting several reports of the same exact crack from others, we quickly realized that this needed to be addressed.
This kit prevents two important components from failing:
- frame's front crossmember (cracks in half)
- low-hanging, weak LCA mounts (bends & collapses)
INSTALLATION: Start by grabbing some spare M8 hardware, and bolt the main plates to the bottom of the crossmember to align everything before welding. After the main plates are finished, add the LCA mount reinforcements on, spray with your favorite coating (ours is Steel-It) and you're done. Simple!
NOTE: This kit welds to the the crossmember while still on the vehicle. This kit does NOT replace your crossmember. DO NOT remove your existing crossmember to install this kit, unless it is damaged beyond repair and you have a donor crossmember on hand. The photos showing the crossmember cut off the truck are just an example of what can potentially happen when a crossmember is left unreinforced.
Items Included:
- x2 3/16" mild steel reinforcement plates
- x2 3/16 mild steel control arm mount gussets
Save yourself from costly, involved crossmember repairs, and fight for your right to party off-road. Get yourself a Killdozer!
