    Think it was a couple of years ago. I'm just bringing up old shit. I don't know why my mind remembers this crap, but forget that someone texted me earlier in the day.

    Trying to do your own thing AND be successful is difficult, always so many people trying to get something without working and or somehow thinking they deserve it. Morals have taken a back seat in this day and age, seems its the time of "Lack of responsibility" as an era, pretty lame.

    Spotted a white Taco with a front bumper and RTT was this afternoon (around 5p) that was going East on Scripps Poway Pkwy while I was going West. I was in my black Tundra and flashed my roof lights at you.

    Doing a super duper build, truck dropped off this morning with a trailer full of boxes, sliders, tires, wheels, LT, blah, blah..Ill snap some pics, this one is going to have just about everything under the sun.
    Haha I wish I could have a truck as nice as the ones I get to build (I could if I didnt race dirtbikes, lol)!! Pretty cool to be able to do these builds for people, I really enjoy it!

    Have you ever pulled coilover springs off when there isn't a notch on the lower spring perch to get it off the shaft? I'm thinking I have to compress the spring, but a soft vice on the shaft, and pull the lower rod end off

    Nice! Also, I still have your dampening mats you paid for, Jason. What's your availability like as in when can you take another project after this one? I have something I'd like to have you weld in my spare tire area and then I can also bring up the mats on my way up. I'm going to buy a Transfer Flow 40-gal gas tank and mount it in my spare tire area but would like to have the supports welded to the frame for strength.

    I believe its a big C-clip like on 5100s shouldn't have to pull the rod end..

    I think you are correct sir! If they dont have a cutout all the ones I pulled down had the clip.

    Maybe....:cool:. Damn that was a lot of stuff!!

    Oh boy I completely forgot about that, what an honest feller you are, lol! But yes I can absolutely dial the truck in for the tank and reinforce it.And weld whatever you need done, not a problem. Shoot, totally forgot sorry man!
