    i will be having mine made possibly in the next two weeks and will have a full review/write up.

    ^^i can use the lifts at my school/work and will make it much easier to install.

    Trying to sell something you haven't made, haven't tested, nor know how to install isn't very reassuring as a potential customer.

    i know it won't be "easy" but it's straight forward just gotta take time doing it, btw i know this is off topic but how do you like your ato skid plate?

    btw is that your garage?

    i'm an auto technician for toyota, i'm sure i can do it.

    and it's a feeler to get an estimate of people interested, we're not asking you for your money.

    I would be interested, but i have no idea what quality of work you are capable of :confused:. We need samples, need to see welds, cuts, holes etc. And we need to know exactly what it take to install your style kit.

    Not to 'knock' what you know and don't know, but you sure as hell do a lot of assuming.

    To everyone with questions,

    Sorry, I'm in school right now. I will be home around 9-10 and once I am home I will try to answer everyones questions. Please be patient as I am very busy with school, work, etc. This kits will be laser cut and welded by a highly qualified fabricator who builds off-road race trucks, jeeps, etc. I will have atleast one kit built within the next two weeks to use for R&D and pictures. We have built plenty of these in the past, just not for tacomas. These products will be top quality and will come with a full warranty. Like the title states...this is only a feeler. Now that I know there are some people interested I will get them built and everything rolling very shortly. Please have some patience. I will be on later tonight to answer any questions I can.

    Thanks
    Tim

    Ok everyone,

    I will be online for the next hour or so. Whoever has questions let's here them. I am putting my other mods on hold to try and get a kit fabbed up and mounted on my truck this weekend. If I'm able to get it done this weekend, I will have plenty of pics and info for you guys. I know it may sound sketchy or whatever right now, but like Patrick and I both said this was just a feeler to see if anyone was interested. Now that I see there is some definite interest I will get the ball rolling and get a set going for pics and R&D.I promise these kits will be top quality and professionally built...with a warranty. Please don't knock us yet, give us a chance to show you guys that we can build a quality product and sell them at a reasonable price.

    Thanks
    Tim

    We have made, tested, and installed plenty of these on different vehicles, just never a Tacoma. We have built plenty without ever having one fail. My design comes from a pre runner we built that has done 100+mph through the desert without any problems whatsoever. Please do not post negative comments. If you have questions, comments, concerns please PM me and I will answer any questions you may have.

    Thanks
    Tim

    The guy who would be building them has been very busy building a race truck and doing a few other side jobs, so I haven't bothered him with these since there didn't seem to be very much interest. I will talk to him today and see if he has time to build a few sets. I will let you know after I talk to him.

    Unfortunately there wasn't a huge interest in these and then my buddy got busy with some bigger projects so he doesn't really have the time right now to build these. Keep on ATO and hopefully they will have some available soon. I would love a set for my truck, but apparently no one has time to make them. Lol
