Nope but its stopping us from getting any more travel unfortunately.

Thought about RCV's but the max angle is 28 degrees where the factory ones are 26 degrees so not worth the coin.

Total wheel travel is 14" which is a great result.

Looks great mate, you have good patience, your Hilux has spent more time off the road getting modded than it has being driven haha! Will be awesome when it's done. Good on you for doing something different

After smacking the absolute shit out of the outer cv trying to remove the shaft, cutting it was the only option.
