Has anyone heard about these guys? Saw the add in my local craigslist.
things that make you go hummm?

Blazeland.us



Just wondering if anyone has bought and installed these arms?

Thanks.

 

Hrmmm interesting no doubt.

 

looks ok, says it only comes with the upper and lower CA's....wounderin how much...

 

It's just a stock arm with a plate bolted on the end to space the spindle out!

The coilover conversion looks interesting though ...

 

sent him an email to see how much :p

 

chaosfab.com

know it, jumped it in my buddys truck. Its well known (maybe even cleche'), but we we cleared 60+ ft & 8ft (80mph) high with no worries.

Fun stuff, anytime you can hitch a ride with a Pre-runner, do it!

 

im just surious to how much this set up is,

chaosfab is lots of $$$$$$$$$$

 

buy used and it a lot cheaper.

 

^^EXACTLY...

i try to buy used whenever i can on some things..because most stuff wasnt abused around here..lol lots-o-mall crawlers

 

thats great, most of the guys around here think their toyota stuff is golden but then again so is my stuff and good lookin out tc i didint even catch that

 

"Thanks for writing me. The kit is $775 plus S&H and 7.75% sales tax. See attached parts list for details. If you have questions I can be reached at (949) 903-6892, I am located in Southern California.

Sincerely,

Nate"



effff that

 

how much travel and lift do you get out of this cheapo kit??

the UCA's should be just as strong as stock by how that little extension or whatever is bolted on..

details please?

 

he should sell the bolt on deally by itself and a new lca...it would be a wee bit cheaper

 

ya it would...as it looks like stock arms with just the bolt on thingy??lol

i wouldnt mind having a little bit of extra flex..and a LOT better ride..but i aint buying no TC LT kit for like $5000 all together..i wont ever spend more than $1000 on a lift kit of any kind.....

 

Downey had a long travel kit that they advertised as the best compromise. They touted using the T100 CV axles, rather than custom length as Total Chaos uses. This kit seems to go at least some of the route that Downey went.

I wonder where Downey's kit will end up, if someone will get the rights to sell it.

Interesting, buy it, when you don't like it, I will buy it from you for 1/2 of what you payed for it. Just kidding.

 

lol..if somebody gets this kit..and it gives a great ride..and more flex over stock..i'd up for gettin it..run it..with like some 2" bj spacers..relax the torsions..3-4in LT leaves out back..ooo yea..dune jumpin..hahaa

 

In OC, Socal... hmm.. might have to make a fly by.... I'm only over the hills (literally) from OC. And that coil-over setup looks like it'll take a bite out of the turn radius... and did you notice they have the coil over working with the torsion bar? That by itself makes things a bit interesting.

What worries me is how the upper BJ extension connects to the upper arm. All the load is being placed on the stock BJ mounts, but not as a strictly linear load but with some torsional aspect- it will twist the upper a-arm at the BJ mount. The lower, I'm not as worried about but likewise fore/aft forces will be amplified since the LBJ is farther from the stock mount and I see no bracing to accomodate that either.

TBH, I can see that configuration more appropriate for a 2wd truck that doesn't have the front wheels pulling on the frame as well as being pushed by obstacles.

Anyone have an address on them? Might go check it out tomorrow.

 

Actually, the Downey kit required custom CV's with Porsche inner joints to swing a bigger angle. The TC setup for our trucks uses stock T100 axles.

Yeah, I would like to see more pictures of how they did the hoop and where the coilover attaches on the bottom. I didn't see that they still had the tbars hooked up...

Exactly - that few inch extension is going to apply A LOT f leverage on the ball joint bolts that aren't really designed to take a load in that manner.

 

o..went to the site..

lifts about 3.5" or so..

and about 9.5" of travel with bumpstops???

not bad..isnt the TC kit like 12-14"???

 

its not just a plate, (at least thats what i thought it was) check out page 4 with some of the side views, its got some stuff welded on the bottom i think
