    Appreciate all the work coming from everyone lately!! 2 cab chops, 3 bumper installs (1 HC rear bumper) and 2 fronts with winch and lighting, a bunch of motor stuff and maintenance on multiple trucks, and a rear ARB locker and front and rear suspension install just in the last 3 weeks.

    Oh and did a bunch of injector/injection pump work on a Ford Diesel and work on a Camry...but thats doesnt count since it wasnt from the forum, lol.

    Today full suspension install.

    Thank you to everyone that hires me to work on their trucks, if you have questions dont hesitate to PM me anytime, thanks guys.

    Shout out to Jason Speed Freek for hooking up my 2014 Tacoma. He installed a full OME suspension lift (shocks, struts, coils, new leaf packs and UCA's). The truck handles way better than the stock TRD suspension, it looks great too!
    Jason works on the truck as if it were his own and has great attention to detail, will definitely bring somemore work his way, thanks again Jason!

    Already took it off pavement to test out the new suspension!

    Absolutely! Common problem on Tacomas, but with the new (improved) unit your gonna get more life than the stock one!

    I'm probably gonna see how far i can go with the V6 on upgraded internals and more boost, but someday I'll be looking into an LS swap for mo powah.

    It can be done! Not an inexpensive mod however. But the mods for an LS motor are so much cheaper than trying to build that 4.0, a 500hp NA motor can be achieved easily with the right combo with just a 5.3 truck motor!

    haha I'd love to get an LS in there now, I'm pushing 300hp right now, might hit 350 once I get everything else installed and get some tuning done. Someday i'll be dropping an LS in there for some really fun power :)

    Hey Jason!!

    Ok I gotta get this bike running its been way too long and with a pregnant wife now I REALLY Need to ride!! So just to recap I rode it twice after the last time you had it for the rebuild and it's been sitting in the garage since due to leaking a little oil ( I think it might be a bad drain bolt but maybe the case we tried to rig) my clutch is also not engaging again BUT we replaced it along with everything else so I wonder if it just needs an adjustment. Anyways, le me know when would be a good day to take this baby up there to you... I also wanna finally listen to you and shave the seat so I can reach with both feet LOL

    No problem Manny, gimme a call and I'll handle it! I can replace the drain gasket and check out the other stuff for you to get dialed in! Might just need to warm it up and change oil the new clutches get sticky if it sits for a while sometimes. But I can figure it out.

    Glad its all quiet now! Those drivers side Hub bearings always seem to go, I have done a bunch of drivers side bearings, but never once a passenger side one, weird!

    Is there a Toyota Hilux forum for Australia & New Zealand where we can read about right hand (their driver/ our passenger) bearing fails, since the driver is on that side, down under?
