Shiny UCAs and other stuff!

 

Nice Jason! My Bilstein 5100 mini-lift you installed is doing great... years after!

 

Thanks for the install Jason, I’ll be back for the CMC soon.

 

Thanks David, hope all is well my friend! Thank you!
PS. Good job on your role in that TV show, America Unearthed, really great info! Its amazing how many things are down there that I've been by, but at race speed on an open class dirtbike there's not a lot of flower smellin' haha!

 

Thank you! Was a pleasure to help.
No worries, I made templates for all Toyota Truck Chassis (Tacoma/4R/Tundra) so I can take care of you whenever you need it.
Thank you Paul!

 

Tundra CMC from today

 

Oh my, that... LOL. I spent 4 days with Scott Wolter and the 6 members of the tv crew from Minnesota (Committee Films). They were all great and lots of fun. The loved Baja and Mexican food... good drinkers after the day was done, too!
Here is my article on the America Unearthed goes to Baja trip:

Here is my Tacoma World post: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...a-unearthed-may-28-the-travel-channel.595432/

Anyway, it is pretty amazing all that they do for the four minutes or so of time that Baja segment lasted on that episode (Vikings in the Desert).
On the Baja Nomad forums are several other former Baja racers who are discovering the beautiful sites that they once just raced past. Same story with Cameron Steele's Trail of Missions TV show tour.

I may be in some of that as I was on the scouting trip with Cameron last May. I showed him new (to his tour) mission sites and we went to San Borjitas cave and San Francisco de la Sierra, with the Ratón cave along the way. His TV crew was along on the scouting trip filming and that will be incorporated into the actual tour footage. The tour was in June... and the show (they said) will be on ABC TV on Sept. 1. It has been on their World of X game series, in the past.

LT kit plus cam tabs,tower gussets, spindle gussets, etc....

 

Just a quick question, what’s the typical or average price shops charge to install Bilsteins 5100s all around lifted 2 inches all around?

 

Im not sure to be honest, the shops tend to charge quite a bit more than I do from what my customers say.
Shoot me a PM and I can get you an estimate and save you some cash.
And if you are just trying to level it then you wont need to add any lift to the rear.
Also if you want a better ride its best to get stiffer front coils and put it at the low setting, the 5100s on high spring preload give a pretty harsh ride in my experience BTW...

 

Some recent work stuffs on a 2019 Tundra TRD pro.

 

And some cam tabs but got too busy working and forgot to take pics, haha...

 

Thx I’ll PM

 

King 3.0 up front, Camburg UCAs. Rear 2.5. And a CMC done previously.
Also a comparison of King 2.5 vs rear stock shock shaft, haha.

How much to install a pair of axle shims? trying to get rid of my vibes

 

Just curious. Do you do re-gearing work?

 

Lockers and 3rd swaps normally.
For re-gear its usually best to do a 3rd member swap from ECGS and I can typically swap both diffs in one long day and you have very little down time.
Also if doing this always upgrade the front drivers side with the ECGS bushing as the stock needle bearing is prone to accelerated wear.
Shoot me a PM and I can go over the details and options.

 

Thank you Jason
