    Not sure if it will help, but when I went from 31s to 33s I had four tires swapped out with TPMS sensors for just under $80 over in Alexandria. The shop is called Curry's auto (703)621-6900 if you are interested.

    Did you check with Progressive Automotive in Hamilton? They're usually the best when I check around.

    Hey I have a 1 year old as well! EXACT same boat. I figured it out, if I can continue at my current pace, I could graduate at the end of November! Worst case, end of Jan.

    So couple questions gents, your expertise is needed:

    1. Bakflip mx4 vs. Undercover Ultra flex

    2. Level "lift" on a TRD Sport suspension - Been reading the argument, spacers vs new suspension set higher, but I am out of my depth on this one.

    3. Recommendations against the TRD Pro Gunmetal matte grey rims? (SCS or FN wheels) what do you guys have or think would look good on a Black Sand Pearl Tacoma. (probably going with the KO2s @ 265/70/17)

    I work 7-4 in Leesburg, drive to law school in DC, in class from 6-10, get home around 11:15. Wash, rinse, repeat. Thankfully this is my last week of my last semester of my last year - I'm graduating at the end of May. I will be very thankful to be able to return to having a life.

    Way to grind it out man! I'm just happy to have the opportunity to better myself and hopefully set my family up. Sacrifice now for the better life down the road. Just keeping my hand to the plow and press.

    I am concentrating on litigation in school, but no specific area. Would like to be part of a "small town" general practice one day.

    ahh yea, that would be over $200..... so I'll have to pass

    Save the money on the tonneau and go Tyger (literally $800 vs $200)..... put that saved money into a Bilstein 5100 "legit" lift kit ($830) and I love the TRD Pro wheels on my 4Runner....I dont think you can really go wrong with either choice of those wheels.... and run 285 /70/17s not tiny ass 265s :D


    /end advice

    wow! that sounds rough man. I hate driving to DC so much.

    HOA law :rofl:

    I told my wife I am not driving into DC for at least a year after I graduate. Most days I want to pull what's left of my hair out.

    Haha once I pass the bar we can talk.
