    Dude that really sucks.

    Wheeler's has always treated me well when I purchased from them, but they are a bigger store so it doesn't surprise me that something wasn't in stock.

    As for @AccuTune Offroad they're a vendor here on the forum and I've only heard good things from them, even though I haven't purchased from them yet. They did offer me a good deal of advice when I was asking about rear shocks at one time.

    After all of this frustration, I bet you just want to get some quality suspension ordered up and installed but let me ask; what all are you trying to achieve with your suspension? I ask because King has standard, and extended travel fronts. As for the rears, they're advertised to work with up to a 1" lift; any more and you're risking bottoming out and/or killing that shock as someone did recently.

    Could be a blessing in disguise that your orders didn't go through so you can go back and figure out what you really want/need.

    My guess is KOH has evreything in turmoil right now from a vendor and supply standpoint. Try a few weeks after the race and you may get a different answer. Gotta remember alot of these offroad vendors are ran out of what is essentially a pole barn on someone's property.

    Their communication is horrible, in my own experience that is.

    Anyone know why Tretiak30 was banned?

    I was going to tag him for the member above; I was in a group buy for all my Fox suspension and everything went super smooth.

    Maybe but if the cable is opening and closing that valve then it's working right. It looks like fluid isn't circulating through the heater core. We have to figure out why? Is it because core is clogged? Is it because the blend valve on firewall doesn't open and direct the fluid to the core?
    Know what I mean? After truck is at operating temp, you should turn dial/valve to hot and then go to engine bay and feel that the hose going from blend valve to heater core should be hot. May have to physically remove blend valve and make sure it is opening and closing. If it is, next step would be check the heater core itself

    I was also getting the Icon delta Joint UCA to take advantage of the extended travel Foxs. I've resigned myself to be patient and slowly piece together the system I want even if it takes several months. I ordered the Icon UCA from a third place and they have actually shipped that so at least the process has been started.

    Just wait until the full Trailgear takeover of wheelers takes effect. Forget having good customer service.

    Headstrong is great if you know what you want. Free fast shipping makes it a no brainer for us east coasters. I have emailed Marie a few times. Yes it takes a few days to get a response, but it will always be the most well thought out answer to your question.

    What are you trying to buy? They carry king, Icon, ADS, Fox, Bilstein, OME etc. Not really any different selection then wheelers as far as suspension goes.

    Gotcha.

    I called, left voicemails, directly messaged, emailed, and tagged them multiple times and never got a reply.

    Placed my order with Wheeler's after waiting longer than 2 weeks give or take.

    I'm looking forward to dealing with Accutune when I need my Fox 2.5's rebuilt; will be going extended travel.

    Not suspension parts, I'm a leaf spring and bilstein type of guy. I'm just talking general toyota specific offroad parts. Drivetrain, etc...

    I gave up on wheelers after they charged me over $35 to ship a pair of AAL's. I get it, shipping was gonna be high. But when the weight you quote/charge for online is far more then what the label on the box said, theres no excuse.

    Sounds like Marlin Crawler or LCE is where you need to shop.

    If me and my pops had the time and money, we wouldve kept the 92 and dropped in one of their built 22RE's.
