I'm gonna be an Upper Arm Bro-runner Guy now. UCA's for the 2g-3g Tacoma and the 99-06 GM 1500 Trucks Silverado and GMC. Both use 1in Uniballs, pretty standard poly bushing arm. Already verified the geometry on these so I pretty much just need to order parts and build em to get them on the website.

9. Shackle Angle - Progressive vs. Digressive The shackle angle plays a critical role in determining the effective rate of the suspension — that is, how the spring’s actual force curve translates into wheel rate as the geometry changes through travel. As the shackle angle shifts relative to...

5. Shackle Hanger Location Overview: Shackle hanger location is largely application-specific and depends on both spring geometry and suspension travel goals. The correct location ensures full bump and droop travel without binding, interference, or inversion while maintaining consistent rate...

Leaf Spring Technical Design Points and Considerations Axle Positioning for Mockup and Design Process Purpose: To accurately establish design constraints for high performance leaf spring suspension systems General Procedure Similar to mock-up procedures used in linked-style...

The amount of information I've consumed over the years, and all the forum threads on leaf springs read like Egyptian hieroglyphs that I have to spend hours trying to decipher, or spend a couple hundred on design books and still not get quite enough info for what I'm doing. So heres a technical...

I had a guy buy a set of BD lights for a raptor recently, he got the part numbers mixed up and needed a kit I didn't have in stock, I was amazed he didn't ask for a refund when I told him they would be backordered for 2-3 weeks, I can't fathom taking money from someone and not telling them their...

Got through another 2 sandcars, both were sandlimos, one needed a rear bulkhead repair/reinforcement and a windshield frame, the other needed the rear pivots replaced, not a huge fan of the trailing arm design on these cars, a real pain to get at the shock hardware, specifically the bypass...

It still amazes me how some of this stuff makes it out of the R&D Phase, assuming it even had one.......At least its in good hands now.

Currently drooling over the GMT800.....the exploder is solid too, I'm just not a Ford guy unless its an OBS truck, or maybe a Foxbody/older mustang.

I paid 800ish for the W55 for my 3SGE swap into my Spitfire, those old toyota transmissions aren't cheap anymore unfortunately.

yeah, still going down weekend of the 26th.

Seeing and working on all these buggies/rails makes me want to build my own..........If only the transaxles weren't so damn expensive.

I have the nitto recon grapplers on my sierra, they have good traction and are quiet. I also like the yokohama geolanders, for an E rated tire those things ride reallllly nice, I can live with the increase in road noise on the diesel.

The ever so slippery slope of the government taking away access to public land........

FINALLY finished this thing, it was an unbelievable pain in the ass getting this hood to function properly, this is hood number 5, the first 3 were aluminum and I couldn't get it to not warp (dont have a bead roller or english wheel) so I swapped to steel and got it in 2 tries, the first steel...
