I'm not going to make Toyota uppers anymore. Too much BS with the cross shaft to keep the price so low. Not worth it.

BUT ONCE YOU GET A TEMPLATE YOUR FINE RIGHT? CHARGE WHAT THEIR WORTH...IM NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD RAPE PEOPLE FOR THEM BUT IF PEOPLE WANT THEM, THEY'LL BUY THEM WITHIN REASON...I MEAN PEOPLE BUY SPINDLES AND THOSE ARE LIKE 200 PLUS

Yea I have a jig set up for them. But you know how I requested that upon receiving the arms that you ship back the stock cross shafts? I once had 3 sets of cross shafts. I now have none. I may start building arms like the ones I'm building for my truck now. They're be more money, but thats because they will be the tits and have nice parts and come TIG welded.

No thats what the cross shaft is. The crosshaft is a PITA to get out without cutting shit, so I build them into the arms so the bushings slide in from the sides. The cross shaft was also part of my jig. I've just given up on making anything that requires a cross shaft. Unless I find some bushings that are bigger than stock with the same ID so the crosshaft is easier to remove, but then it gets in the way of the steering shaft. So basically, no bolt on Toyota arms from here on out.

Seth you need to charge a core on something like that, then they will send you the old shafts or they're out money. Charge $100 for the core, then you'd get em back for sure.

You did a good job on the toy arms, i'm sure you'll do fine with any of the others you build,
