    The updated fleet. Both lifted, slidered, new-tired and sexy. Thanks @Tacodriver08 for spearheading the effort.

    Haha I'm just kidding man. I'd be happy if ANY of us won it. That way we'd at least do better than at Jambo.

    I drove it about 50 miles yesterday and found some ditches to make sure I stuffed up the wheels on all 4 sides pretty good, and went and got an alignment today. Rides better, firmer than stock. It's similar to the 4Runner now, and that 2" lift gives it just enough clearance to look proper with the 32s. I measured the hub > fender and it is all pretty much 2 to 2.25" inches spot on, that's exactly where I wanted it to be.

    Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road was right on the money. I can 100% recommend her for anyone looking to get good information. This is exactly the truck I envisioned when I bought it.

    @NEWBIETACO Hey, when you come down this weekend we'll meet up at Chris's house so he can Zeus up your frame. I have some parts that need to go to a 4Runner member up in Dallas. It's Katie's suspension coils and shocks from her 4Runner. You mind bringing them back home so he can buy them? I told him $120 for it, so if he pays you, you can Paypal me or I can get him to do it.

    Also, for the rest of you guys, I will mainly be trying to stay out of Jake and Chris's way, so if you want to do any simple mods, radio stuff, or electrical, I'll be available for whatever you need.

    Let me get with Chief @MFR and ask him. He works for the largest housing company in this area and can give you some advise on where to & not to stay.
