    It was because he couldn't get the toe right (tie rod was ceased) I wanted it as close to yours as possible. He had to use a torch to heat it up and all kinds of crap he was pissed off thinking I messed with it when I was in there doing the lift etc. So I left before he got the toe right. I also wanted the caster down a little more but they were going to charge me to take off the skid plates on my LCA's and wouldn't let me take it off

    exactly, everyone here makes wise ass comments about what I've been doing to it lately. I work for a dealership that has all "American" Brands and refuses to purchase any other brands so that's another thing they get shitty about..not something they're used to working on so when it doesn't go smoothly they get pissed off. I just wish I could do it all my self. I'll never not have a Tacoma so excuse this guy for getting a vehicle that will make it past 100k miles with out issues

    @Blackout14 does the skid plate get in the way of getting a proper alignment done? Just noticed that above.
    Thinking I may just take mine off and leave it off until after the alignment is done once the UCAs go in.

    Yeah I buy guns to resell so there are options, I need to be lower than other people to sell mine unless it's pristine then I can be priced higher and people will buy. So I can give you prices....orrr I can sell the gun for the price you want and I would take 5%-10% for selling it so $600 gun I would get $30-$60 and you'd get $540-$570. Depending on the gun
