    Hey Eric, if you don't mind me asking, what do your cab mounts look like currently?

    I'll snap a pic when I get a chance. Still just chopped, never got around to re-plating them yet but I'll do so this summer.

    So you've got yours set at -1*, which is +1* caster, actually removing a degree of caster from where I'm at?

    I could see maybe that helping. Moving the wheel forward from the top and moving the wheel forward as far as possible from the bottom. Should put me theoretically at 1.8 which is enough.


    :notsure:




    Sorry to keep bothering you Eric :boink:

    BIG UPDATE!!!!
    :drumroll:

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    SOLD the truck on Saturday!


    So now I'm taking over the red '03 that was my GF's truck and I'll be adding a couple things to it to make it more my own. Prior to getting my 07, a truck nearly identical to this 03 was pretty much my exact truck I wanted to find, but couldnt at the time, so I think I'll be really happy with it.
    A couple things I do like better about the 03 so far.... It's overall a tad smaller than the 07, so should fit on tight trails a little easier. Also, that lil 4banger gets pretty damn good gas mileage!! Finished off a tank last night at 18.6 mpg's average with about 75% freeway running 75mph, about 15% around town driving, and 10% offroad. Now at almost 1/2 way through the next tank and i've averaged 20.5 so far! and thats running 6" of lift and 35's with armor. :D

    Damn son, sad to see that thing go. I know you are going to go nuts on the 03 though. So did your GF move to Reno with you?

    Ya I'll do a few things for sure. Yep, she's here in Reno with me. Were liking it a lot so far
    Nope, someone from Huntington Beach CA. He joined the site though, so hopefully he posts an occasional pic of the truck. :cool:
    Yeah, I know its better under 65, so thats why im so impressed with it right now! I knew it did well on gas, but it seems better than I remember. :)
