    It was a good burn, but what do you expect from a Tacoma fan group? Especially when a local mod trades his Tacoma for a Jeep? That is blasphemy in our eyes.

    A vendor page would be great! Jason has been helping the AZ people for a long time. His reputation is a solid one but go see for yourself man.

    You guys should manufacture legit UCA's and sell them for like $100 less than all the competitors. I bet you would make a TON of money!!! Group BUY - what's up!!

    I'm interested in this "GM LS3/drivetrain conversions". What kind of price points are we talking about in terms of labor or overall conversion cost. Any experience with doing the conversion that passes CARB? Main concern is doing something that can get registered in California.

    Jason,
    I have a 2012 Tacoma that I want to get the front (and eventually rear) suspension properly set up for my use. I have ICON extended travel coil overs that bottom out way too easy but with my plate bumper, winch, full skids, sliders, and extra battery I am hearing that I need 700# springs and probably stiffer damping. Since I only have 1500 miles on these coil-overs I want to have them rebuilt with the higher rate springs and damping a notch stiffer. I would like to talk to you about this and my rear saggy stock springs as well, and if your schedule permits get the truck in to you soon.

    All depends on what parts you want to use( engine package, trans, ect.) Also what are you wanting to swap into?

    Sorry with lucus off road this weekend we have been extremely busy should have left a message. Also included in the contact info is my cell...


    Hey Bill I'm at the shop every day most days pretty late. If you would like to swing by one day and talk about options your more than welcome. 700lb springs are pretty heavy. I would recommend making one change at a time. That way you can compare each change.

    Jason,
    I would like to talk to you about the front and perhaps have you rebuild my ICON front coilovers stiffer first if you think that has most potential. I even considered the conversion to their CDC adjustabe damping, but I doubt I need the RR properties that come with it. Also I would like you to see my Tacoma's payload to help with the suspension requirements. My rig is more the "expo configuration" used for trails and some more aggresive off-roading to dunes but we do have to drive the highways to get there. I know it is not a Wrangler, but it is pretty sure-footed for a pickup.

    I will call your shop phone number Monday if I am not running late. I like the way you think. Would like to get the supension solution started this coming week if your schedule permits.
