I asked him a ton of beginner questions and finally placed an order for $310 worth of parts. Very helpful and patient.

i just installed the drop bracket this weekend. great product, great service, and willing to help with simple questions (as some of them can be annoying i am sure). my buddy has ordered a rear bumper from him, and all of us ne4roc'ers can't wait to see it!

That's the one I was thinking of, did not know exactly where it was going. Slotted for Mid-April production. Guys name is Patrick.

He was the last one to get in for 2006.

I ordered my sliders from him, I will be ordering my recovery shackle hangers from him next month. I've also asked him a ton of stupid questions and gotten answers.

Got my drop bar awhile ago. nice welding and material. Can't say I noticed a difference in ride. Rear axle looks more in center.

Just an FYI:

*** We will be closed from March 1 through 10, 2006 to host a local 4 wheeling event. ***

Any orders already placed will go out by Wed. After I get done with the event, I will take new orders, but will be on a somewhat limited production basis as I will be knee deep into the 1996 4Runner SAS.

There will be a webcam for that again.

I got a few things from Sonoran Steel last week too. I'll try to get some new flex pics up this weekend.

Steve rocks. Great guy, BOMBER products, and excellent customer service. Very fair in his transactions and his assesment of what he can or can't do for you. He won't sweet talk you or sugar-coat anything, but he stands by his word and his work. I have the support truss (OMG, it's a beast!), and drop bar. He has also welded on my Stubb's sliders. Rear bumper to come? I'm hoping.

What kind of SAS is that 96 getting?
Is this the first one since your 99?

96 gets the only 3rd Gen SAS I can legally sell, one just like mine.

This will be number 3. A 1991 4Runner was number 2.

Due to similarities in design, patents, etc.?

i'm guessing because steve's personally tested it out for a year and knows it works and is safe.
