    Yes, Dan is a good guy and has always taken care of me. I didn't even think about getting them from him. Will ask first thing tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

    1. 2.5" gave me the look/levelness I was looking for on stock springs. 1.75" had a slight rake in the rear. Wasn't bad but I'd go 2.5". There are lots of variables, like how many miles you have but being you have a Pre-Runner you should be fine.

    2. Down South has a good group of guys working there and very knowledgeable. Their prices are fair as well but they are in CA so you will pay sales tax. They dont do installs though.

    Have fun Jason. You deserve the vacation! I will report on the axle swap/brake redue tomorrow or when it's done.

    Thank you, sorry the fix didn’t work, I was suspect about the shoe tab that was almost totally gone. I should have broke out the lights and made a tab tonweld on top of the old one!!

    The one I remember offhand was in the Tulum area connected to the Kalimba network part of the Grand Cenote entrance. Do you side tank? Lots of really tight technical offshoots that will blow your mind. Angelita and DreamsGate are both really cool as well...

    Awesome I will check it out and yes I do side tanks with supplemental tanks in order to get more depth and use a triple redundancy system. That’s pretty much what I’m here for.

    The mechanic just inspected my brakes and said your weld repair is GOOD! A brake line to the cylinder was loose and why fluid leaked out. New half axle order cancelled! What a relief. Nice to have another honest mechanic to fall back on when Jason is in Mexico! ;)

    I am home now and the brakes are good... including the emergency brake! It was so nice to find another honest mechanic who so could have taken advantage of me and done the axle swap, etc.

    Damn, well that means made an error not double checking the lines after replacing all the hardware and the wheel cylinders in my haste and lack of light, my apologies David! I thought I had tightened them just before bleeding the system, obviously this was not the case.
    Once I get back I’m building a roof and lighting so being dark won’t cause any issues, sorry buddy that’s pretty embarrassing on my part there is no excuse for those kinds of mistakes! I’m sure the tech went over everything, but I would be more than happy to go through and disassemble it all and double check everything! Especially since I thought it was all complete and it wasn’t, no bueno!
