Notice I said custom, one-off?  I was, and still am I guess, testing fit and function.  Steve does this with a certain few, like right now with the LT struts.  I find it nice that they actually do real world testing before they get into if they can do it for money.

Believe it or not, Calmini has a comlete cable locker for the Sammy.  Uses the HD shafts they make.  It's been around almost 10 years now.  The market just isn't there for production...

yet. ;)

Be patient, the great, unexpected things for the GV and Kick are right around the corner.

Ya, its just hard to be patient after this many years.
They would be supprised how much of this stuff would sell if they would actually put it into production instead of expecting people to put money down and wait for 9 other people to do the same before making it.

Ditto!

It's frustrating for me sometimes coming from my boxy Chevy's and Ford Rangers to find out that the aftermarket part I want isn't there for my Suzuki or that someone has made it...but it's been labeled "in development" for over a decade. ::)
It's sorta why my Tracker has been relegated to just a DD.


Oh yeah, any news on those long travel struts?  The XL7 is itching to get lifted and OME's cost more per side than my KYB's just cost me for both struts and both shocks!

Do a search for that name, he's an individual here.  There's some controversy surrounding him so research it and decide if you want to go another route or not.

I wouldn't do it again.
