    No expectations, but I would appreciate it! Product and price point are intriguing.

    And again... I understand and respect the vision for his products and business.

    With that said, I am very interested in the product, but can't find reviews/information on it (talking Tacoma specific here) other than this thread and his web page. I would think that by offering a group buy or TW discount more people would be interested, more people would purchase, share their experiences and boom... it's a loop where business gets business! See what I did there... I gave you some ammo to go sweet talk him LOL.

    Been running JBA UCAs for over a year now, been through 3, 1+ week long wheeling treks, I love em. Glad I went with those over the LR.

    About to hit wheeling trek 4 and 5 this summer! They have seen some serious abuse

    EDIT:
    I had the original Design that Marlin had to recall and replace. Great customer service and stands behind his work.

    Have these been correcting camber angles for roughly a 3in lift? I'm sitting at about -.85 degrees pass and driver side with stock UCAs.

    Thanks! I assume Marlin built them to be at 0.0 degrees of camber with a 3in lift. Allowing a 2in or 4in lift to still remain in the LCA adjustment range.

    uh...no. had originally planned it that way, and the OME stuff has been in the garage for months, I just never have the time. Only way it's getting done is having a local shop do it. At this point I'd rather have it done so I can get out and use it. Someday I hope to do more of the mechanical stuff, but right not it's not working out that way.
