Cr@ves,
Yeah I really don't understand the validity of critics who don't have first hand knowledge of my product. I suppose its becaus I came up with a different way of doing things certain closed minded people get nervous! So much for innovation and creativity. Doing business in the USA especially California is extreemly difficult. There are so many parasites trying to leech on to make a buck for themselves. Lawyers, State Tax, Federal Tax, City Zone laws, homeowner R&Rs, DOT, ASE, ASTM, EPA, you name it they are lurking about. It is also entertaining on how many calls and e-mails I get from people who built there own LT kit who run into problems and are wanting me to bail them out. In the end they spend more time and money than if they just bought an authentic kit.
Blazeland is mentioned on most the Forum sites if you spend some time and do some searching. Pirate 4x4, DezertRangers, Ultimate Yota, Race Desert, OffRoad, etc. I typically don't post and pimp Blazeland on the forums, I usually just respond to people who bring up questions. I don't like to spend hours reading all the various post on multiple sites looking so if you guys see something send me a link and I will check it out. For instance a customer sent me this link last night. http://toyotaoff-road.com/threads/31...l-Build/page22. Its a 22 page build thread so budget some time if you check it out.

Regardless, his kit hasn't disappointed anyone who has bought it. I havent bought it, yet Im not dogging it. I just got done reading that 22 page build thread, and he got 17.5 inches of travel ( up/down combined ) which is not bad. His kit appeals to people who want a strict bolt on. it requires no fabrication what so ever. with some higher quality shocks, you get a pretty capable LT setup. I know a few local people who want to get it and test it out at the Pismo Jamboree this year. If i wasn't considering a linked SAS setup, id go for it. Nate seems like a good dude. He used his knowledge to establish a user friendly LT kit using the stock control arms. absolutely nothing wrong with that, and its a fact that it yeilds results.

IMO which i'm sure doesn't mean much i think that his kit is a great alternative to the more expensive kits. For people who don't have tons of money but want to make their rig more capable this kit is perfect. Nate is a good guy, though i haven't met him personally, and i don't think he would ever put anybody in danger by selling a kit to them. I'm sure he took every precaution there is and looked over his kit very thoroughly before even thinking of offering it to the public.
That being said please let's not bash Nate for trying to make an affordable LT kit. If you don't own a kit or haven't actually seen one in action first hand then you have no proof of this kit being dangerous especially when he has sold 40 kits with no complaints. Don't base opinions purely on pictures.

At the time, mine was a 1 off kit... There have been improvements to it and it's now built by a guy who has recently opened a store front fab shop on his own here in Vegas. So it might not be "custom" anymore but it was when I installed it on my truck.
In regards to the crap being posted about on here... I don't care cause it's not my truck and it sounds like everyone is out there having fun in their own ways so why judge? Not everything has to be everyone elses cup of tea. For the record, I'm friends with the owners of TC yet I think there's better options out there depending what you want to do with your truck.
OP didn't specify 4wd or 2wd... Mine's 2... Obviously...
