    I do, the connection always seems bad and ends up stopping halfway through, I get frustrated and walk away then use my phone which is so small its hard to see so I always put it off again and again..I just need a better cable apparently or my computer port is whacky
    Thanks dude! Its a game changer, however the pump gave up the ghost 2 days ago so no lift for now, back to jacks and jackstands like the old days, haha.
    And since Im having a migraine again today, leaning over is a MFer to say the least.
    Can't get the pump till late next week unfortunately.
    Hope all is well buddy!

    Too much spring for my 4cyl Tacoma tried using them for 6 months. I don't regularly carry loads in my bed they would be perfect for me I had a constant 200 to 400lb in my truck bed. Hope they can work for someone else build.

    Finally put the new suspension through its paces out at Berrego Springs. Great Job Jason. Rig took some dings. Need new sliders now, might need Jason’s welding skills!

    Looks like Fish Creek. Glad you are having fun with the truck, after all that was done it should do pretty well out there.

    Dang haven't posted since last year, anyway belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year guys!

    Anybody have any insight on cloning development for humans? I DESPERATELY need a second me over here, haha... Always so much going on, my "To-do" list tends to grow far faster than I can cross out finished things, I suppose that is better than the opposite.

    Ill post up some pics of stuff tonight if I remember, I've been working till 10:30pm or later but it's been getting insanely cold for me, the low 30s in the late evenings down at the shop, once I can no longer feel my fingers and toes its time to head up to the house.:pout:

    Sup Jason,

    Former snorkel install client of yours. Wanted to inquire about getting my gears upgraded to 5.29. I remember watching a YouTube video of someone filming their install but cant find it.

    Just gotta say, I went to Jason this weekend for a CMC on my 23' Tacoma and it looks amazing, plus he was done with it very quick.
    It looks like it would be this way from the factory and he was very attentive about his work!

    Thanks again Jason!
