    Toyota was nice enough to give me a new frame. JBA cat-back, aFe dry drop-in w/ deckplate, Bilstein 5100's all around, Timbrens, Alcan 5-leaf packs, OME 881's, linear clutch pedal return spring (best $3.49 I ever spent)
    Easy skeezy. took all of about ten minutes. I got the spring at True Value. It's not a #70 that some repair threads identify. This one was a #118 I think. It looks like the brake pedal return spring. As long as its 5 to 5.5 inches long and less than .5 inches wide with hooks on either end it should work. I needed to reshape the hooks a bit to get it to work. There are several threads out there with good instructions. Hardest thing is getting used to a working pedal after having driven it for several years lifting the clutch pedal up with my foot each shift. Good luck!

    Scion XB Seats. TacoDell is 5'10" has no problems off-roading. I am 5'8", also no problems. I have maybe 3-4" till hitting the roof. Also note the seat can be leaned back so you can get a few inches out of that.

    It's MUCH better ride than when I had my stock coils compressed. I think I'll write a review about my set up shortly.

    Got some u-bolts from a local shop that specializes in semi-truck suspensions! lol. $36 for 4 7 1/2" u-bolts and it only took the guy 10 min to make.
    [​IMG]

    During the install... only had one leaf pack on and no shocks yet...
    [​IMG]

    Didn't get a final picture yet, because i left the tires off so I could bleed the lines easier in the morning...
