I'm gonna try to get my girlfriend to make the mesh, she is a laser and waterjet operator. Your clamps are back from anodize and will ship this week.

Super Sweeeet. Thanks Joel. My FJ could use a little bling at this point. Too many scratches.

I had a guy approach me a few months ago about making a tie-down for a Yaris, as he liked my FJ products.

With various emails and photos, I was able to get a design that almost fit. He had some filing to do to make it fit. So he sent it back, and I revised it to what was left from his filing. He has become very impatient and basically cancelled the whole ordeal. In his defence, it has taken about 4 months since we started the ideas flowing, but it is very hard to design something for a vehicle I have no access to, and still try to maintain a quality product. FYI: Yaris battery clamps sit at a funny angle and were much more difficult to engineer.

Now, I have a design basically finalized for the Yaris, and no one to test fit it. I am running two this weekend. He couldn't hold out any longer it seems.

Anyone have a Yaris and an FJ? If so, please let me know. I'll send it free

Hey Joel. I now have a Yaris and an FJ! I just saw your clamp on a pic over at the yarisworld forum. Is this the one you speak of? He didn't seem to have any ill feelings, he just said that after you guys got something finalized, not many people actually put up the cash. Different guy maybe?

The pics below show the funny angles you're talking about. Same clamp from diff angles and it actually looks like 2 different clamps. Compound curves eh?

Ok, so I want one in yellow(gold) ano like my FJ handles! Or if you have any lying around that you didn't sell, let me know. Thanks.

Hey Ridge,

Long time no talk!

I have a clamp here and can put it in for yellow anodize, no problem! I'll PM you to sort it out. Yeah, the curves make it a nice underhood addition I think. Suits the Yaris well!

Thanks,

Joel
