    So I went to the dealer today to bring my old truck home... they had told me I had the weekend to remove parts and replace them with the stock ones... my truck is already gone... not really happy, waiting to find out what the deal is. :mad::mad:

    Do you have it in writing? They might have just lied or someone at the dealer is driving it.

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    I'd be all over someone's butt! But you are doing the ultimate upgrade. I love the tan and black Taco's as well as the flat gray and black like @tacopromatt has... Have fun in the full size! We're all jelly :anonymous:

    Fffuuuuuuuuuuu, I'd be so pissed if that happened to me. I'd definitely push the point that you had an agreement with them and that you were told you could remove the aftermarket parts. At the very least, they were NOT part of the deal and you should be adequately reimbursed. ( Or, if they do find the truck and you don't find a buyer, @Tynan will start swapping stock parts off his truck )

    :goingcrazy:

    Right after the suspension bits was night and day. Only drove it 1 mile from Firestone to work but it was still a noticeable difference. All less than 20 mph... traffic at the Y... But it did seem a loooot better and more absorbent of bumps. Really looking forward to drive home in the am and see at highway speeds.

    Lift is installed thanks to @Texoma ! It's sits stupid high in the front because of the 886 but that just means I need a bumper now :D

    Or maybe I'll buy you yours and you buy me mine...:confused: gotta be a loophole here somewhere :D. But they are out of stock and hard to even buy in the first place with their limited runs.
