    ICON RXT leaf pack install. Plus a diff fluid service on this nice 2nd gen. Best wheels for the 2nd gen hands down!

    Had the pleasure of installing Kings on this 3rd gen Tacoma. AAL and SPC upper control arms as well. Such a nice set up, I'm jealous!

    Dave installed my lift kit with AAL and UCAs. I didn’t get a chance to hang out during the install as I originally wanted to since I got caught up with errands, but he kept me updated throughout the entire process. He's a genuine cool dude and a professional in what he does. I would not hesitate to go back to Dave for future car/truck needs!

    It was a Taco party at my pad! Had these 2 Tacomas. Swap suspension from one truck to the other. Kings, spindles, uca's, leaf springs. Cleaned up the Kings and other parts before installing on new truck.

    Finished off with some trimming and a VIPER cut. :sawzall:

    1st gen Tacoma work done. Didn't get pics of the truck, but they've been here before. Carrier bearing aka center driveshaft bearing replacement. Also, flush brake fluid.

    Had this beautiful 2nd gen over again. New OEM steering rack and pinion replacement. I've done a bunch of steering racks and enjoy doing them!

    Impressed with Dave's work as always and learned a few things in the process!

    Here's a pic of the truck in question for those who felt they were missing out:

    Worked on this sweet 2nd gen once more. Their suspension is dialed in now. Replaced upper and lower control arms.

    Thanks so much for all the hard work, Dave! Hopefully that's it for expensive maintenance for a little while but I'm sure I'll be back in the future when another big project comes up that I need assistance with.

    Thanks for making this thread! Your pics just showed me how to set up the parking brake cable bracket for my RXT install.

    Oh yeah. A lot of people mess that up with zip ties or cutting the bracket off. Make sure to bend the bracket down a bit. Also will likely need to open up the bolt hole in the bracket just a hair. I use a step bit like this below. Cheap from harbor freight.
