[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 658595, member: 6317"] Took some time yesterday and today to start installing the FROR keyed arms I'd ordered before I figured out my studs were just extremely loose. These arms are just plain sexy and they really make you wonder why someone didn't think of this setup way back when. I'd also ordered the FROR Tacoma brake mounting kit. Since I was already running the slip on rotors all I had to pick up was a pair of calipers from a 98+ 4Runner. The only pain in the ass about this whole process is that FROR produces their arms with 1" holes where the trunnion installs and since I'm running the TG trunnion eliminator I needed to come up with a bushing to reduce the 1" hole to a 3/4" hole. For what it's worth I did ask Brian at FROR if he couldn't just make a set of arms with the right size hole...evidently that would've been too much work. So after a couple hours with the mini lathe I finally came up with some. Only issue was I don't have a great way to make an internal bore that is a press fit for the 3/4". At least not without it taking FOREVER so I just drilled them to 3/4" and made the bushings tall so that I could weld the trunnion to them so they wouldn't spin inside the bushing. The bushing is a press fit into the arms so I'm good there. Previous setup...
