    When my OEM ones broke on my old Tacoma I contributed it to plastic fatigue after ~15 years. They still opened smoothly up until the day they broke. The aftermarket ones I used afterwards were much cheaper feeling and refused to open the door until the handle was almost completely up.

    Not sure if it was just the brand I got, but the internal hinge parts were much cheaper and thinner.
    Too expensive, will probably end up using the insulation material people have been using from Home Depot/Lowes

    You didn't get an alignment bub.. you got a toe adjustment. Caster needs to be over 2.

    Haha yeah life is money sadly. Just think, when you can finally afford UCAs, you'll spend your money on them and not be able to afford an alignment!:bananadance: lol

    He didn't have a hook on the front so I winched him from the rear.




    And did a little wheeling.

    That's good to know! Yes, I am currently in Ohio. But, I'll be leaving for California in a week and I like to travel a lot. I have friends in Pueblo as well as other parts of CO that deserve a visit anytime I'm headed through so I'll keep Prigmores in mind!

    Hell yeah, will do! I'm meanin to stop off around Denver and see the homie Rick @TheCatInTheHat as I'm passing through. How often are you up that way? I'd consider meeting in Colorado Springs depending on the time of day/night I'm driving through Eastern CO. I'm afraid that on the way out i won't have time to make it down to Pueblo, I'll have to wait a couple months on that.
