The shop has been pretty busy. Last week, we finished the 12V Suburban for Jake. Matt rebuilt the brakelines on Billy's F250. While Ted and I were gone racing, Matt and Chris also swapped a 3.4L long block in Steven's T100.

This week has been even more productive. Matt Little with the silver 06 Tacoma is interning with us this summer and giving an all around hand.

So far, Chris has installed an Icon mid travel kit on Ed's 05 4runner (adjustable resi coilovers, billet upper control arms, TC lower control arm skids, Light Racing bump stops, Allpro heimed steering and swaybar ends, and Spidertrax wheel spacers. The rear coils and shocks will go on later in the week. Currently, he is doing an adjustable Bilstein strut on Matt's Tundra.

Ted is working hard on linking Eric and Andrew's Tahoe. It should be sitting on a Dodge front end and 4 link suspension by the end of this week.

Matt is in the middle of an AW4 swap in Patrick's new TJ, as well as some other maintenance with a Dodge 2500 master cylinder conversion.

For the rest of the week, we have an XJ for some frame stiffeneing and cage work. Jason's 2500 Dodge is coming in for some front end steering and hub maintenance. Next week we will begin the power mods on Ed's FJcruiser... APR X1 fule manangement, Doug Thorley long tube headers, 7th injector, high flow fuwl pump, and smaller supercharger pulley. Then it is off to hand building an exhaust around a custom crossmember to give it a belly up skid, as well as the start to the interior cage. Kyle's Xterra will be in for sliders and a 2" lift before he heads to Moab for vacation. We will be in the middle of swapping an AW4 for Chris (SirGcal) in his TJ and hope to have it done by the end of next week. During all of this, we will be prepping 5099 for the race in June, as well as hammering out Ted's YJ for the Katemcy Memorial Day run.
