    People bitch about that all the time. Try doing 65 and you'll hear about that too.

    No I must have been spacing out. I was wondering where you've been. Haven't seen your truck out front for a while.

    My 4Runner looked like that way too many times. Hopefully there is a break in the weather so you can get the coilovers on.

    Haha nice! I always have to work on the street for the most part and my street is too narrow even for me out there. Hoping my next place I have a lot of parking.

    Gotta pick up an inch pound torque wrench today. Can't decide between the click style Pittsburg at Harbor Freight or the beam style craftsmen at Sears. Both about $20. Have a feeling the beam will hold its accuracy longer... Thoughts?

    i would say no torque wrench worth anything is going to be $20. But thats my opinion.

    It's inch lb not ft lbs so they are the tiny ones. @BudMan id say craftsman, my 1/2 ftlb craftsman torque wrench is really nice for the $

    @BudMan if you can find a tool specialty store you have a better chance of finding something a bit more quality. OTC tools manufactures many different lines and quality. I use an OTC in lb ratchet that is the same model as a SnapOn. It just doesn't have the red color and SnapOn price.

    [EDIT] CDI is also another known tool manufacturer/supplier for SnapOn...

    I bought a cheap harbor freight inch pound torque wrench for work on my mountain bike. Figured it didn't matter much on that. Just for giggles I took it to work and tested it against our just calibrated blue point and it was dead nuts.

    "Dead nuts" being a good thing or bad thing? I'm always leery of Harbor Freight, but the prices are tempting.

    This.

    There was a test conducted on all the major players and the HF torque wrenches and the HF was more accurate than all but 1, and it was a fraction of a pound - IIRC.

    Would buy.
