Long Travel Control Arms???

I picked this up last night. The guy said its Total Chaos made for 88-94 4wd(random years... why not 86-95?). In all the research Ive done I can not find anything that looks like these lower arms. He said it was made early 2002 and it was one of their first designs, also said he bought it new and had it on his truck for only a year before it got rear ended and then parted out. Anyways I found one picture of a older TC kit with same looking upper arms but different lowers. The arms are extremely well made I just dont know WHO made them??? Obviously I will need more parts to make this system function but need to know what Im working with. Is this really Total Chaos? Any info. or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Ive been swamped with work so I have not had the time to "size up" the parts to my rig yet. Thanks

Ya, this shady jerk pretty much swindled me... its really my fault though for not doing more research before I bought it. He said his truck was 4wd but never put the extended CV axles in so... obviously it didnt have 4wd. and after studying the arms really closely looks like one of the spindle mounts is tweaked a little. You could tell he jumped a bunch from the scraps on the lower arms. I dont think the wear cause me any problems, when installed, I'd wanna jump it anyways. My work truck is 89 2wd, so why not... It will probably be awhile before I get started on this but I will have start another build thread

Definitely a 2wd kit, doubt it's TC though. Maybe a real old kit.

I bet it is an old tc kit, the construction on all of that is sooooo similar. Sorry to hear about that jerk, he must have eaten a really big load of bs for breakfast that day. At least you have an application for it, I'd certainly try it out if I were you! If I had known about TC when I owned my 2wd I may never have sold it to buy my 4runner.

Definitly not an old tc kit. Could be an old amplified performance or old old burg kit.
