New TRD4life/ASG14 Product ! :)

Postby trd4life » Tue May 19, 2009 6:47 pm

Heres a sneak peak of a product me and ASG14 came up with. This is a custom reinforced trans mounting bracket for the aftermarket Torque rod. Several members on here have broken this bracket several times after installing the torque rod.The stock bracket wil not support the added stress from the torque rod, this is the solution, a TIG welded support on both sides of the L shaped bracket (this is where the crack begins). Painted gloss black. (the guy that makes this for me is the same guy building the m90 1mz/3mz supercharger kit for me )

I will be posting these in the for sale section in the next week or so.

Feedback and opinions greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Gabe

Gabe, you are the MAN! I'll definitely be picking up at least one of these off of you. I've had good luck so far running the torque rod for a couple months, but I've been looking forward to seeing this done!

not thread jacking gabe, but bbq bob talked to his friend about the m 90 sc's, there the older versions, he's going to bring them to where they work so bbq bob can check them out, question, do we need the throttle bodies for the sc's, and what model are you using, the newer one or the older one, also he has 3, but is willing to part with 2 of them, thanks gabe.................. :drinking:
