    Yeah, I wish I could afford the Dakars right now but I must hold off. I like the idea of the degressive valving on the icons for the moment. It's a daily driver as well so anything to help smooth it on the road will be an upgrade for me lol.

    The stage 4 is a good kit. How much was Mule able to get them to you for? Going to have them valved to your liking or just run the factory valving?

    They cost the same as buying online at most places. 2945. I will probably leave the valving as is for now unless others have any suggestions. My truck is mostly stock right now with the exception of BAMF sliders and a canopy so there isn't much extra weight.

    $2945 isn't terrible, especially if that's after tax. Total Automotive Performace can get the best pricing on Icon suspension packages... I don't think I am suppose to share percentages, but it's usually more the 15% off and less than 20.001% off ;-)

    Haha well I've already paid so too late! I don't mind giving my monies to the folks at Mule though. They have been super helpful and knowledgeable.

    About $250. I don't plan on totally beating the crap out of them so I'm pretty sure the finish should last me quite a few years with some minor touch up with rattle can bedliner as needed.

    So, while Bob was deflowering me at the Mule, I picked up some quick fists. Made me up a couple mounts for the front bed rails.

    Well I'd much rather pay a few extra bucks to a quality company then. Good to know, thanks!

    @Haslefre @Tayoflor Perfect example of knowing one side of the story. Essentially one of the big heads here at Tacomaworld was a little bitch about not getting enough free stuff, because Total Automotive ran out of said free stuff and gave him other free stuff instead. So since he didn't get all of his free stuff (he actually got more, it was just a little different) he banned them. Tacomaworld happened to the thread (turned into a "BS" thread like all the others, essentially) and all sorts of people who had nothing to do with the transaction began doing their greatest Lil' Jon hype man impressions, and got everyone worked up.

    You'll note that you don't even know what happened off the top of your head. Probably because it was so stupid.

    However, as of recent said big head of Tacomaworld has realized he acted like a child and is beginning to allow Total Automotive to begin access to this site again.

    You'll note that this is the only forum that has ever had issues with them. Ever. You'll also note that the group buy thread with any "evidence" is gone, but the bashing thread remains.

    Here's the thread. It appears to have been cleaned up quite a bit. The main cry baby's posts are not even in there anymore, and it's only 2 pages long now.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/total-automotive-performance-review.367785/

    Pay special attention to the first few responses.

    All that said- I love the folks at Mule Expedition Outfitters. The ability to drive down the road and buy stuff most folks have to order online is freaking awesome.
