    Thanks, Jason did a nice job. There should be plenty of air circulation to keep it cool as well.

    Thank you Dan, hope that locker makes off-roading much more fun with the newfound traction!

    Jason is a legend. Helped me with a deep CMC to fit 34s as well as installed my Fox 2.5/Deaver stage 2 setup. Much cheaper and higher quality than any shop. I measured the ride height when I got home and it was literally perfect all 4 corners. Took the truck to a camping expo and others were very impressed with the trucks stance and the quality of the CMC, people are right when they say it looks factory. Hope you don't mind the extra business I sent your way, Jason! :headbang:

    Jason just helped me out with a full suspension install (Fox 2.5, Deaver stg1), as well as a CMC and viper cut on my tacoma. His skill and attention to detail is seriously top notch. I wouldn't take my truck to anyone else for this kind of work! He helped me install my 4runner suspension about 6 years ago, and that is still running strong. great dude, great setup. Highly recommend. Thanks Jason.

    Thanks Cam! Was good seeing you again buddy, hope you have fun with the truck, came out really nice and should work really well with the Fox fully adjustable setup we put on it!
    If you need anything in the future don't hesitate to ask.

    More pictures of recent work! I don’t post very often because I’m working crazy long days but here are some pics of some things..

    First one is my LS swapped 1st gen Billet 7875 VSR turbo getting closer to being done. Should get my Holley Terminator XMax ECU and harness today, and the 735cc Bosh injectors should arrive next week then I can start tuning!F48EC4B0-B97D-424F-BBE3-5D57F81D102F.jpg4E33C212-017B-44F9-9610-402F9C48F27B.jpgDE92A56B-2504-4A28-B3E5-A19E57A5DA58.jpg6ACD364F-D4C7-40D6-9573-68076D07AA09.jpg9FE72209-A582-411C-83CF-BF54B297B7C0.jpg0FC184E4-752C-4A38-82B9-D9DF0FD5C563.jpg

    Added a dual Viair 425c air compressor setup to my TJ, now it puts out 5.4CFM @100psi! No more 20 minute tire refills when I air down, that was getting real old.. Now it puts out plenty of volume, should have done that a long time ago.

    Also finally got my seats put into the TJ as well and added a new crossbar for the seatbelts, so much nicer than the stock seats.

    Another C4 rear bumper dual swingout style, Im actually doing another one right now, them things are SUPER time consuming to do right..

    Here is a light bar I installed last week, pulled the bumper and found some low pro mounts in order for this to sit right and it came out perfect!!

    Jason did an outstanding install on my 2020 Tacoma OR DCSB.

    * Stage 5 Accutune (Fox 2.5s: front coilover , rear smooth body 12 inch -- all w/ remote reservoirs + adjustable; Eibach 650lb Springs; extended brake lines).
    * SPC upper control arms
    * Marlin Crawler cam braces
    * RC Fabrication spindle gussets
    * Deaver stage 3 leaf springs
    * Archive garage:
    - Rear shock relocation towers
    - Hammer hangers
    - U-bolt flip kit w/ bump stop
    * Lil B's:
    - Cab mount relocate
    - lower control arm armor

    Lots of work.

    Had to go with a different set of wheels given tolerance issues on the front suspension. Ended up with KMC Roswell 17 x 8 w/ zero setback mounted/balanced by 4WP.

    Here are a few photos. Let me know what you think:

    More great work done by Jason. Finally had him do it after 4 years of me procrastinating. I had previously trimmed things back and had clearance but would occasionally rub. Well Jason trimmed back and stepped the CMC for even more clearance. Talk about a work of art. This guy is a master of his craft. Looks OEM which is what I was going for . And just an overall good Dude!
