Solo 4WD Tacoma Spindle

If you’ve got a ’96-to-’04 4WD Tacoma or ’00-to-’06 4WD Tundra, you know that the stock spindle (or knuckle if you prefer) can bend under hard use. Adding a gusset to the stock part is an effective way to strengthen it, but Solo Motorsports does one better. Enter the Solo Motorsports fully fabricated 4WD Tacoma spindle.

• Boxed plate construction is worlds stronger than stock. Aftermarket upper control arms with a one-inch uniball are required. Compatible with stock lower control arms as well as popular aftermarket long-travel kits.


• Also fits the ’96-to-’04 4WD 4Runner and ’01-to’07 4WD Sequoia. There are some slight lower ball joint variations with the Toyota trucks and SUVs we’ve listed, so let Solo know exactly what vehicle you’ve got.


• Comes with the Toyota 4WD unit bearing hub pre-installed; simply add your 4WD axle. Manual hub conversions are available for an additional charge.

Race Runner TireGate

Carrying a spare can be a hassle, but not carrying a spare is not an option. Wilco’s famous TireGate now has a sibling in the Race Runner TireGate. Whether it’s the original or the Race Runner, the TireGate makes it easy to carry the spare you need.

• Carry up to a 40-inch tire in the Race Runner. Swings open to allow access to cargo.


• Available to fit most Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota Tundra pickup trucks. Bolts directly to factory tailgate mounts, so no cutting, drilling, or welding is required on most vehicles. Can be used with fifth-wheel trailer systems.

Dick Cepek Gun Metal 7 Wheel

Dick Cepek’s new Gun Metal 7 is a seven-spoke alloy wheel with a glossy clear coat over the gun metal grey finish. Available in both high- and low-offset models, this wheel looks great and will fit a variety of lifted and non-lifted trucks and SUVs.

• Comes in today’s most popular sizes: 17 and 20 inches


• Don’t care for polished aluminum or black? Gun Metal grey is the perfect middle ground. The glossy clear coat makes for easy care even in harsh climates.
