Congrats. I hope it works out well for you and the LC community. Having employees is both a blessing and a curse ( said every business owner ever)

I had upwards of 60 with one of my other companies..... THAT SUCKED! I know this guy and he's worked with me off and on for almost a year when I needed help. He's ex- Air Force, dedicated and a hard worker. Something that is very rare these days and flexible with additional/reduction of hours.

I agree. My approach is to cut dead weight quickly, over compensate good employees, and find personal rewards for excellent employees ( e.g., new Xbox to the gamers, tickets for sports fans, golf trip for the golf enthusias, etc.). This has served me well and all my employees are always willing to go the extra mile.

@TRAIL TAILOR (Jason) I finally got the tough dog lift kit, your UCAs, diff drop, and extended sway bar links installed and aligned by the folks at RPM Garage out Monrovia. My 100 series handles like it was new.

I am going to install the blue sea fuse bracket this weekend to clean up my dual battery install before we head off to Sequioa National Park for Thanksgiving. Can’t wait to test out the suspension!

Very excited to hear about the expansion of your company and the new offerings in 2020!

Thank you and glad you are enjoying the suspension.

Dang I must've missed it...and looked on your website but didn't see them. Any info/pics of the auxiliary fuse box bracket?

I just read back in this thread a half dozen pages or so and found all of the discussion about the auxiliary fuse box brackets!! I will be looking to purchase a pair of late model brackets with RTMR (& Blue Sea buss bar/Bussmann circuit breaker) cutouts when they become available.

Will they bolt up to existing threaded holes already in the fender? Looks like there are a couple that would work there along with one where the fuel filter resides (with minor modifications to fuel filter bracket).

Take my money and enable me Jason!!! Thanks!!

I received my "new & improved" TT Rear Lower Control Arms for my other project truck today. WOW- these are a serious upgrade over the already beefy TT RLCA's I have installed on my 100. Much fatter, the Johnny Joint is larger, theres no other RLCA I know of that is as beefy as these things are.

Thanks J-

Jason, I am really curious about the rear bumper and the price point it lands at.
Thanks for all these products

Glad you approve! They are massive for sure. Each tube weighs a hair over 11# before bush end and JJ.... HA!

But like I told someone on IG, if you bend one I'll replace the tube free of charge. To note.... no one has ever bent one of my old style either...

Yes, a TT rear bumper is the 2020 plan for my rig. We are planning to do a trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park and this would be a great excuse for me to stop by the shop to pick it up, .

What did the old ones look like? What was the need for replacing?

When did this new and improved design come out? Looks just like the TT arms I bought about a year ago.

Guessing a few weeks ago. I didn't know when I asked Jason to make me another set for that there was a design improvement. Pleasantly surprised when I opened the box.

The post showing the new ones here:

Hmm, okay.... I look forward to seeing more progress. :beer:

The previous version I have on my 100 are plenty strong.

The previous version I have on my 100 are plenty strong, but with several options out there from other vendors, I'm betting that this was a way to differentiate; bigger, stronger, big value add.

From what I see they look just like the ones I received and installed in October, prior to that post you linked.

24 pair of UCAs went to powder today. I think 7 sets are available.

You both have the old version. They are a three piece design and the new ones are a 2 piece design. New ones are fully machined where the old ones had a weld in bung at the JJ end.

NOTHING was wrong with the old style. As I stated previously I'm trying to get more of my products where they are simpler to make and ship. This is one of the examples.

Website still shows old version. New design started shipping out this week. Black Friday will mark the new design and pricing for these as well.
