    Spent a week in Death Valley and needed a cab mount chop in a pinch as I just installed 33's days prior to departure. Jason fit me in 2 days before I hit dirt. The whole week was flawless with the true test going over Mengal Pass. Thanks, Jason, you nailed it.

    Did a full front LT kit (UCA, LCA) with Cam tab gussets, tower Gussets, and spindle gussets last week, waiting for some pics.

    Ready to do work, the holidays really screwed up my schedule last month!

    Hey Jason, have you done an Eaton Trueloc before? I'm looking into getting one ordered in a month or so (hopefully no more surprises come up) :fingerscrossed:
    but figured if i'm going to have the diff open i might as well do the wheel bearings and seals along with it....being that the truck has 218k miles of hard driving.

    Had Jason weld/install my DIY Trail Gear sliders for me. Took longer than either of us expected, buy still came out amazing! Jason went the extra mile making sure everything turned out perfect. If only he could do alignments, he would be a one stop shop!

    Can you get the truck here? And cost will depend on if the head has damage as well.
