Total Chaos Weld-On Spindle Gusset Install

*Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ* In this video, we describe to you the proper steps to weld on some Total Chaos Spindle Gussets onto 3rd Generation Spindles. Since 1st Gen Tacomas have the same spindles as a 3rd Gen 4runner, these gussets would work for 1st Gen Tacomas as well. We don't actually show you us welding because we don't have the proper filters for our cameras to show that kind of footage. This is not a how-to-weld video but rather an informative video about the existence of these spindle gussets and the steps you should take to get them welded onto your spindles properly. **Install Instructions: https://www.chaosfab.com//PDF/install/accessories/59697.pdf **Description from Total Chaos's website: WELD-ON SPINDLE GUSSETS 3RD GEN TOYOTA 4RUNNER 1996-2002 PART# 59697 PRICE $41.66 (PAIR) -Strengthens spindle uprights and prevents the knuckle from damage during hard impacts. -1/8" pre-bent laser cut mild steel brackets. -Welding and grinding are required to install. -Factory spindles are forged, not cast and gussets can be MIG or TIG welded directly to them. -Kit includes 1 pair of gussets for driver and passenger side. **HELPFUL TOOLS** *If you're looking for other tools not used in this video, check out Timmy's Master Tool List.* https://www.amazon.com/shop/timmythetoolman?isPublicView=true *The following is all the tools I have purchased for welding.
