    @Speed Freek Great to finally meet you Jason and get some quality work done on my ride! You persevered through the bad weather conditions and got the work done. A+!!

    I needed a CMC done and the @Marlin Crawler HD LCA Frame Brace Kit installed. Jason had never installed one of these LCA kits before but he tackled the job without hesitation and did an awesome job. While we had the lower control arms off, we went ahead and replaced those as well so I could get new bushings and lower ball joints all at the same time. After an alignment the next day, the Taco is feeling Supreme!

    Jason was able to get me in and take care of my truck. He banged out a CMC, pinch weld, Icon Coils, Icon Shocks, Icon AAL, and JBA UCAs fairly quick and introduced me to some badass pod casts. Definitely worth going to him!! Thanks again man.

    I can give you labor cost for the swap and compressor switches, etc...If you still need pricing info PM me or even better shoot me a text since I havent been online as much as I should be. As of currrent I have 11PMs to answer, not sure if one may be yours since I haven't gone through them yet.

    No problem! I can take care of you, I typically do a few per week.

    Unfortunately I cannot, I dont have a rack for that.

    Thank you everyone for the well wishes from my accident and a big thank you to my customers for posting such awesome reviews!
    So happy I can be an integral part of the Local Taco Community.
    Big thank you to everyone and MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
    I am walking pretty good now and barely even limp, not too bad considering the severity of the injury I suppose. I can almost walk up my stairs one at a time, like a regular person. Where before I would skip 2 or 3 if possible. But I cant complain, I'm good enough to do whatever needs to be done.
    As a matter of fact (to my Doctor's dismay) I even rode my dirtbike last week again. No crashes, I've had to dial it back just a bit to avoid any mishaps so everything stays intact.

    So anyone needing some work can PM me here, however as stated its even better to just shoot me a text (my contact info is in my sig link somewhere) because my response time has been slower than it should be.

    Hope everyone has a great holiday!! And thanks for the kind words, always such a great group of people here, Im stoked to be a part of it!
    -Jason

    Did an ARB locker. Twin compressor using the Slee mount, as well as wiring it all into a switch pro, so I was able to remove a rats nest worth of extra wiring!
    And this way I was able to have everything streamlined into one switch pad instead of looking like the dash of a jumbo jet, haha.

    Thanks Will! Im doing pretty good now. I just had to take it easy for a bit. I'm about 85% healed now (or so it feels like it). Im at the point where I am able to stretch a few times a day and have almost full joint articulation back now.
    I really appreciate the concern brother, thanks for reaching out.
    Also wishing you the best New Year so far my friend!

    Relocation with King IBS series shocks in RED, don’t see that too often. I’ve officially done over 150 shock relocations. That’s quite a few now that I think about it, haha.
    Hope you all are having an amazing New Year so far everyone!

    Jason installed my suspension today and did an absolutely phenomenal job. I could tell by watching that he’s very thorough and treated my truck like it was his. He got everything adjusted to how I wanted it and made it look super easy. Can’t recommend him enough!

    Jason knocked out a much needed CMC today.

    I now have zero rub running 285’s and wheels with a -25 offset.

    Jason did pretty much the same thing to my truck last summer, minus the CMC, and he did give it his full attention. His work was top notch and well worth the long drive and cash savings over a full shop near me.

    Thanks for the work Jason! He installed my kings, aal, extended brake lines, weld on spindle gusset, superbumps, ecgs bushing, and CMC. Everything came out perfect and it rides amazing! A+++
