    Looking through this thread just depressed me. hahaha

    Can I ask a personal question?

    How much do you think it cost you guys to make that?
    How much would you sell it for? (not that I could afford to buy it anyway. hahaha)

    Dan did alot of the work himself and he has put about $19,000 into it from the time he cut it. Thats why I said, a SAS done right aint cheap. I don't know that Dan has ever thought of selling so I wouldn't even venture to guess what he would sell it for. It truly is one of the best if not the most well balanced SASED Taco's there is. The thing drives down the street like it was stock and cruise's down the freeway at 80 mph.

    I like it better than mine and I won't sell mine either.:D

    Hey Murphy How's it going? Did you ever get your rear diff replaced yet? If you need any help at all just let me know. I don't live to far from you nd have a complete shop in my garage that is mobile.

    Thank you very much.


    You can. It just may take some time. Dan spent three years collecting all the parts and then he helped us put it together for him.

    Some times taking your time is well worth the wait. Dan now has one of the best Tacoma's on the planet and he's enjoying it now.

    Yes we do. We can make anything you need for your Tacoma, even if it doesn't exist yet. We were told by many people that we couldn't build a sased '05+ Taco that could wheel some of the most extreme trails and have proven them all wrong. They said it was too big and too tall and that the frame wouldn't hold up.

    Looks like it does well.

    Was told I that I may be to big to get through here.
    DSC02376640x480_d389da7d3733bb3da522eb53cdb49346868cd818.jpg

    Made it.

    Sledge Hammer trail at the hammers.

    Now grantted, here are trails that the truck is just too big to get through. But those trails are only passible by tube buggies anyway and I wanted something that could be driven too the trail and back home agai and could take the family to the movies. Goal achieved.

    Building your Taco the way you want it is just time and money away.

    Thank you very much.

    We are planning to make plate front bumper for the 05+ Taco's but it's not ready yet. Give the shop a call and Talk to Jason. Maybe he can get something for you faster.
