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.
