FEELING STIFF without VIAGRA

Thought I'd share some pics of the new Ultra Underbracing I installed over the T-Giving Holiday.
Thanks to Jeff @ MicroImage
I installed the Front, Rear, 2 Sides & the Middle.
The last pic of my finger pointing to the bolt is to indicate that the provided bolt will not work (not long enough). Had to fabricate 2 new brackets which needed to be welded on the bolts for each rear mount point. Yes, the provided bolts are actually welded with an additional strap under the head of each bolt.
I did this at my buddies Pantera Shop
I did Panteras for 24 years, now, Yaris. I must be sick!!
Freeway on-ramps are really fun.

Nice shot of the whole setup!
Just wondering... Why does the undercarriage look so damn clean?!!

Wow I always wanted to do all the same underbracing but never pulled the trigger.

BTW looks like you have some cupping in the rear tires. Usually thats due to worn shocks or lack of tire rotation.

Thanks for the underbody pics. Seems plenty strong now. Curious as to how much weight was added?

C'mon, PULL THE TRIGGER!!!
Also, no cupping on the tires. Just looks weird in the photo.
Has new shocks and every 6,000 miles the tires are rotated & air pressure is regularly checked at least once a month.

C'mon, pull that trigger!!

Don't know the exact weight of all the items combined.
My guess would be = not more than 10 Lbs
All the bracing is hollow.
