    First trip out ended up getting stuck for 3 hours. Quickly realized these things only came with 1 tow point in the front and that was it.

    Yes and you click on quote at the bottom right of the person you want and to reply back to.
    And I'm glad you changed out those wheels. Didn't look so good on the truck.

    Bilstein 5100's and OME 881's went in. Noticed the spindle was hitting the coils so i decided to bite the bullet and get some Camburg Uca's

    Hey man I have an 04 xtra cab 4 banger too. See you went with the 881s and billies. Is it a stiff ride with not a whole lotta extra front weight? Thinking of doing this setup also.

    No man honestly not too bad. Maybe a bit stiff to start but now that they've settle I love them. I'm actually contemplating the 882's now though. Same spring rate I believe just a little more lift.

    Thank man. Just went through your build. I'm really digging the custom centre console set up you made. How hard were the subie seats to install?

    Ah thanks man. The seats wasn't to hard, I just cut the mounts off the toyota seats and the Subie seats, then welded the toyota mounts onto the Subie seats. If I could do it again, id do it a bit different. They sit kinda tall and I'm almost touching the roof, but I'm around 6'4"
