    Times were good in the dream machine 1.0

    After this pic we got it lifted 2", got some 17" rims on it and some 32" wheels. All was well.

    Now dream machine 2.0 is ready to go, and I'm pretty stoked. Thought I'd jump on this forum to keep up with what all the cool kids are doing. Got a 2016 CC TRD OR returned to the dealer with 4500 KM on it.

    Had winter tires all around and sandbags in the back, just got caught hitting a pile of slush a truck kicked up in the middle of a corner. No space to straighten it up due to oncoming car. Just a bit of bad luck and poor judgement mixed together.

    Will probably look at another lift, not sure which route to go this time.

    Going from full open diff no traction control to the new system is pretty wierd but it definitely feels more safe, old truck would go wild on a rainy day in the mountains. Also going from a manual to a standard is annoying but I'm figuring it out.
