    Eventually. I haven't gotten around to finding time to buy a frame. I'll gladly accept any frame donations, I believe it's a 6x8 :laughing:

    These are some of the reasons that we do not have skids available yet:
    There are a bunch of companies making skids and in my opinion they are all fairly identical. We would like to come up with a design that stands out from the others and has some features that no other skids have to offer.
    The oil filter access panel seems to be a big selling point for most people, but I agree with the fact that it will be rendered useless after the first time it takes a solid hit. So we are trying to figure out a way to properly tackle that issue.
    Basically what it comes down to is that we have not had nearly enough time to get a Tacoma in the shop and design some skids that are different/better than the ones already available. We will have them someday, but do not have any timeframe at all for when that might be.

    Wish you guys were in California, I'd gladly donate my truck for R&D to you guys. I should be putting my sliders to the test this weekend, provided weather doesn't close down trails

    If you don’t have a puller and don’t plan to re-use them some people just cut them off and its easier to hit out with a hammer..

    Anyways, looks good!:thumbsup:

    But that's perfectly good monies you gave to some dbag like me to install them lol
    It's not that bad, but it makes you question whether or not the guy that made the tool you're using was on his game that day

    He adjusted my 5100s the .85 setting and my truck looks more level now, ride still feels great. Don't feel any added stiffness. Just gotta get an alignment done tomorrow morning and I'm all set

    if the compressor is on the spring square it can't come off. did my 5100s on the taco, tundra, and even my camry when I swapped struts . ...guess it's the idea behind it? I'm more afraid of air hoses popping off the fittings...that shit is terrifying lol
