Anyone using solo motorsports products?

[Illestreker]

This recently came up in someone's build thread and I didn't want to clutter things up there getting off topic. I know solo makes great stuff and I have seen some of their long travel setups on other trucks but I'm specifically wondering if anyone with a 3rd gen has used any of their products. The full 14" long travel setup would be sick but is pricy. The 4x4 lift spindles seem like a great option because they provide 3" lift and then your coilovers could be kept soft and not cranked utilizing a great ride. Last but not least the LCA uniballs that replace ball joint.

So anyone know of these products ever used on a 3rd gen 4runner? I'm looking for pics and or general feedback. Or if it was ran on a taco and you can provide feedback I guess that might work too.

So far I've done a few google searches and only came up with where solo introduced the products in various forums, but no info or pics on people actually using anything.

I have no experience with products for toyota's from Solo, but back some 5 years ago or so i purchased a long travel beam kit for a 67 f100 from them. It was a good kit, installed as promised, and performed flawlessly. They were easy to deal with. I ordered the beams and radius arms, and a few weeks later i drove 50 miles to them and picked them up. I think the guy i dealt with was a guy named Bob but am not exactly sure.

Yes his name is Bob, or Bobby. He is the owner/founder. He runs it with his brother. They have a great reputation in the desert racing world, especially in the Ford Ranger crowd. They are half mile from where I had my shop for 14 years, so I dealt with them occasionally, but I never bought any long travel stuff. You might try the desert racing community for more feedback, since that is where they earn their keep.
