    Trail gear 3 Link Solid Axle Swap kit, 14 " Fox coil overs with reservoirs up front, Chevy 63 leaf spring swap with ruff stuffs Chevy 63 swap kit, 14 "Fox shocks on the rear, 37" tires, Custom front bumper by Next Venture Motor Sports with a warn winch, glassworks unlimited fender flares, custom rock rails with kickups (modeled after Relentless Fab Rock sliders), rear bumper from streetacos.com (with custom rap around protection for fiberglass fenders and the hitch receiver hidden behind the license plate that is on hinges), HID off road lights on front bumper, rigid pods on rear bumper with red back lighting, high lift mounted in the bed, onboard air, Flowmaster muffler, aftermarket air intake, alarm system, Alpine Deck, Alpine amp, Alpine speakers, JL W6 12" subwoofer, JL amp.
    (Update: I chose the Trail Gear 3 link SAS. It took a long time but I'm just waiting for a driveshaft now. Also need to get the front bumper finished and put the Chevy 63s on the rear.)

    (Original 1st Post: I have found other threads with people saying which one they think is better or worse. What I haven't found much of is actual videos of vehicles with the trail gear or all pro kit wheeling. If you have the full kit, not just a couple pieces from their kit, do you guys have videos of your trucks wheeling or if you know of a video could you put the URL in here. Thanks! and feel free to comment on here with what you love or dislike about the kit that you personally have. To me they look pretty much the same just with different axles.

    I will be buying one of the kits in the upcoming weeks. Once I decide and get it on I will post videos of my truck rock crawling!
    )

    Pictures!

    this question might be more suited for the Tacoma section of pirate4x4, SAS is pretty much a requisite over there.

    Here is the link to the instructions for their kit. (http://www.trail-gear.com/PDF/301012-1-INS.pdf)
    It doesn't seem to complicated. I would attempt it myself if I had room in my garage to actually pull a vehicle into haha. And if I was a better welder. But my friend owns a shop http://www.nextventuremotorsports.com/shop/ so I'm just going to have him do it for me.

    Thanks! I can't wait to finally take it out and put it to the test!

    Looks like thats a about 11,700 American. (I think CDN means Canadian). And that seems like a fair price, Im not sure the labor difference between their leaf kit vs. their 3 link but I paid a little more than that for all the parts and labor. I honestly lost track of how much I spent on parts because I had to return multiple parts and get something different. But it will definitely hurt your wallet haha
