    That's why I like this place, someone has almost always figured a simple solution for anything Tacoma.

    Post pics after youve installed everything. Im interested on the archive shock relocation but seeing you installing bilstein caught my interest cause I dont want to spend top dollar on rear shocks if I can get away with using bilstein.

    Those 8100s are top dollar shocks, but you can go with 7100s for a reasonable price. I have 14” short body 7100s with the BAMF shock mount relocate

    Is it though? $450....$300 with your own mounts. Kinda pricey imho for what it is. To each there own.

    I retract my statement. I thought it was a complete set up for $299, I didnt realize you had to buy additional parts to make it work. BOO!!!

    Im in the market for new suspension, I currently have EIbachs and hate them. It'll be a year of my having them and looking forward to throwing them out. Should bought once and cried once. oh well.

    To be fair, if you get the plate cut through sendcutsend and then weld on your own tubes, bungs, etc....the price point is dam close. Seems like they kept the cost down as much as they could, but if you were to just get all the raw materials and only drill holes in the plate where you needed you could save some coin for sure.

    grabbed this 1977 Coleman Concord for $250 to make the taco drive slower through the mountains. It came with brand new never-installed canvas. Going to be doing a full renovation, lift, bigger wheels/tires, and armor/recovery points.

    no kidding, we were going to strip it down and use the frame(fully boxed on the 1970s Colemans) for an offroad teardrop build but once we opened it up and found the canvas we decided to build this one out.

    Hey everyone!

    I'm thrilled to announce that my Cowl Intake kits and 3D printed HVAC covers are finally available for purchase!

    It's been a crazy few months getting everything ready, with some setbacks along the way. My 3D printer broke, but I quickly purchased a second one to make up for lost time.

    I'm still working on building up my stock, so there might be some longer lead times than I'd hoped for. But don't worry, I'm doing everything I can to get your orders out ASAP!

    I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the amazing folks who showed interest in these products early on. Thanks for your support and patience. Check out my thread HERE or message me to place your orders. Get ready for some awesome products, even if there's a bit of a wait.

    Cheers,
    Dan

    I recall mine taking a couple of hours to complete. My only advice is to go slow and be careful with your placement and how you're rotating/twisting the needle when threading it through each time.
