People with Defined Engineering SUA kits

Ok, numbers are good. You'll see what I had to say in the LT BS thread, I think if you went out and got some footage over real whoops that would just do volumes for you. I'm sure any one of the many TW members with GoPros would be happy to help you out with that.

 

really ? in an instant you know that your truck is setup correctly? what shocks are you running, stroke, valving , bypass settings, bumpstop length, position , pressure, pics of the suspension at full bump and video of truck in the whoops where its bucking. how do we know the front suspension isnt affecting the rear, where the weight is positioned? once all those factors are accounted for then a decision can be made

ill try and make it out to a meet after i add my secondaries up front but honestly i feel like my products sell themselves. i have over 30 happy customers running my sua kit and i cant keep the kit in stock . theres always going to be competition between kit manufacturers and yes i may make a few less sales without a video. my kit is baja proven and it works theres no denying that...

 

i was amazed at the difference between sua and soa....definately need to ditch the stock bumps....but not sure how to run the strike pad? most i see are over the u bolt.

 

I have the Defined strike pad to go with my Jounce's

 

you can ask all the questions you want. again i just want nothing but facts presented not hearsay. i never said its the best spring ever made. its just the best all around spring for the tacoma.

 

To each your own, gentlemen.
Run whatchyu' brung.

 

wow rj.....



stirring the pot ey

 

I just really want to see your kit performing at the level that you are claiming it does. I say this with no sarcasm or bad intentions, I have been trying to find a way for a bolt-on SUA to work properly on the 2nd gen Tacoma for some time now. In fact, a lot of my morning tomorrow will be spent trying to do more of that. There are very few people who know just how hard I am actually trying to get it to work.

At this point, I would love nothing more than to be able to bolt on your leafs and a set of shocks with the confidence that I won't nose wheelie every whoop bigger than a foot. If you can do this, a lot more people will actually be happy; including me.

 

sub'd. probably need this for the future

 

you went dmz huh ??

 

I just think its worth it to spend the extra cash and invest in a fully fabricated long travel kit. It will save you a lot of headache and makes "what shocks are you running, stroke, valving , bypass settings, bumpstop length, position , pressure, pics of the suspension at full bump and video of truck in the whoops" a lot simpler.
I've seen too much of

and unhappy users.

But what I havent seen is any- Bends, Breaks, or cracks of anything Defined. The kit itself is extremely solid. Just does not perform to the standards its given.

im more concerned with making my customers happy at this point . if the 2 or 3 of them that seem they are not 100% happy would actually contact me with their problems and/or follow through with my suggestions. the number of relatively un happy customers running my sua kit would be 0. but you cant make everybody happy and most people have unreal expectations.

 

please dont compare half ass builds to professionally installed kits with thousands of dollars thrown at the fab work. that truck has wayy too much compression damping. and show me a truck that dosent buck? even a geiser truck can buck in the rear when it hits a square edged bump. im sorry you guys dont like the truth....

 

Not sure, but I think you just called your kit half-assed?

 

no the truck you posted a picture of! just because my kit is installed on a truck dosent mean all the associated components are correct or installed correctly. definitely showing your age and lack of knowledge with your last couple posts...

 

Half ass, how so?
And what do these "professionally installed kits" have that differs from the rest?
Yeah my truck isn't tuned but show me a truck with your kit that doesn't buck through a real whoop section and I'll stop talking. I have yet to see ANYONE with successful results with your kit in the desert.
Seems like your only argument is that its "baja proven", anyone can buck through a race.
I would love to be proved wrong by seeing some good footage of this kit working. But until then..

 

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I just complemented you on the strength of your product.. Just the fact that it doesn't perform the way you say it does.?

And yeah, sorry that I didn't go with the $3,something quote you gave for a bedcage and tire carrier that would work "correctly" with your bolt on long travel kit.

I'm out of this one, unsubbed.

 

i have already explained to you whats wrong with your truck krish . if you dont what to address the issues you will continue to get nowhere. how many different trucks with my kit have you seen with problems? and i bet you not one setup is the same! why is it that just you out of dozens of happy customers ,are having a problem that shock valving and appropriate component selection cant solve. when you last came by , how come your only complaint was the street ride, with no mention of bucking at all? i believe your words were " it rides great off road but rough on the street". i have faced the fact that you are that 1% that i can never make happy.
so say i get video of it going through a perfectly spaced whoop section without bucking and then what ? complaints that they werent 3 foot whoops or i wasent going fast enough.
i will always stand behind my products and help my customers. but when my recommendations are ignored i cant help the situation at all.

 

Mike,

What recommendations did you have for Krish? I'm curious because I plan to buy your set up before I get home and have it waiting to get bolted on. I plan on running dual vertical spares, like Krish, and will also have my battery, an ARB compressor, and possible a winch mounted in the bed of the truck as well.
