ok so i know Y's and brt's done have king pins that stick out the bottom, so its acceptable for yellow wood and im gunna say berlinwood to take them out (as it pushes people to use their brand trucks) but when all the other companies follow (which they do) it is making it hard for kids who cant afford y's or br's to fit their shit! im all for realism but kp holes are needed haha,

Discuss below i want to hear other opinions

Simply because if you can afford to spend $2 on a TD you're set lol. The new TD trucks don't have kingpins sticking out the bottom.

Homewood still gives you the option to add kingpin holes! I love customization!

I think people stopped doing them because the new tech deck trucks don't have the kingpins sticking out anymore.

You can knock them out, they are just countersunk into the baseplate.

Yep, TD/China trucks don't have the kingpins stuck out any more. Some China trucks may do but the problem is in the past now. You could also drill your own kingpin holes, it shouldn't be too difficult. A lot of companies will probably also let you customise your order with kingpin holes.

Still annoying though, when you put a kingpin in td trucks it sticks out, my g13 luckily has a kingpin hole.
