    About how long does a rear install like that take you?

    Most of a day since there is a lot of grinding and cutting involved to get the old mounts off and get them to the bare frame and not cutting into the frame which is pretty time consuming. But this upgrade is an absolutely incredible upgrade, makes the rear end work 10x better than stock due to the increased downtravel.

    Thanks! It should be a lot of fun when you take it to the dirt and get to put the hammer down! Leaps and bounds better than stock mounting points.

    I will PM you. I have been doing one every couple weeks lately so I can almost do them in my sleep now after about 50 of them.

    I can do the rear but I dont have the tooling to setup the front clamshell lash. SO the way I typically recommend doing it is getting the complete 3rd members from ECGS and I can swap both front and rear in one long day so you have very little downtime. That seems to be the best value.

    I sure do, just shoot me a PM and we can set something up! My wees usually fill pretty quickly but I tend to always put aside a day or two for working on my own stuff which I can also use those days for customers if I dont have much going on that week.
    But no problem at all.

    Just got my CMC done on my 2017, as well as the ECGS bushing replacement from Jason. He got me in quick and his work looks fantastic. I some other work planned for the future as well. Thanks again.

    Random pics of some jobs, had 2 days off in the last 24 days, lol. Super slammed and it’s warmer than I would prefer, somebody needs to turn the heater off!
    First pic, installed some Stoptech gigantic calipers and rotors along with 4R backing plates. Stopping will be no problem now, lol! Those calipers are bigger than what I have on my 650hp Camaro! Gotta say I’m kinda jealous!
    Next is a lift on a Lexus 4 Runner, haha.
    Then another snorkel. And lastly an after work reward.
    Those suckers are 12.5%. A couple of those and it’s a party! Well actually 3 is when the real party starts, they just go down way too easy..:cheers:

    Also did an airbag setup with the daystar cradles so it won’t limit articulation.
    Pretty slick setup. I may have already posted it but got some better pics..also putting on a switch pro and plumbing the lines into a gauge/controller combo for on the fly adjustments.

    Marlin Crawler cam tab gussets and reinforcements
    These suckers are super strong and triangulate the cam tabs using little skid plates. Best cam tabs out there by far.4A8B9037-87F1-4A01-A106-1E382A223778.jpg2E4A5D2D-515C-4F73-A95A-247E4BF7586C.jpgF75CD244-A766-4BA2-B4F8-B4E12F210829.jpg

    looks like @Shmellmopwho He makes them locally in LA. I have a pair on my truck, and they are great sliders. Maybe he'll pop in and confirm since I tagged him, but I'm like 99% sure those are built by him.

    Those look like my @Shmellmopwho sliders! Hoping to add some @Speed Freek installed suspension / lift once I can finally decide what I want…
