    Installed the craigslist magnaflow, have to say I'm very happy with it. Ran into one issue with the tac welded bolts on the flange. They blew apart when I cranked them off so I ground the flange off and put nuts and washers on.image.jpgHere you go @Casper66 a quick sound bite!

    Sweet. I got at least a decade before my first daughter will start to drive.

    She can probably teach you how to rotate your images before uploading them :D

    Then (unpictured) made shovel mount brackets for a friend and mounted and wired a ham radio for a separate friend. Always a good day when you have 3 project trucks in front of your apt garage in one day.

    When you dont have a 3rd gen, because 2nd gen is the best gen, but need to test lights for a 3rd gen, I reconfigured the LED fog light rack into a 3rd gen headlight rack.

    Reached max flex. Pretty pathetic to be honest. Went up about a 2-3 foot pile of rocks and the back wheel was all the way tucked up in the wheel well. Lol still had fun exploring a rock I always drove by. Tons of gravel roads that the back end some how got out from under me on. Oops.

    Installed Front OME 884's paired with Bilstein 5100's and a Toytec 1/4" top spacer on the driver side. Rear is GeneralSpringKC 90-297HD leafs with Bilstein 5100's. Gave me about 2.25" all around which is exactly the range I was hoping for. I'm hoping it will settle just a bit.

    It's hard to tell it's even lifted unless you park next to a stock Tacoma. If there is any vibration, it's negligible. Ride quality seems just a tad stiffer than stock. Over all, couldn't be happier thus far

    5.5 lift front 4 rear on 33s with an endless amount more work to do
    Saturday I swapped plugs and fixed a vacuum leak in the process. Also swapped out the serpentine belt twice. (First belt came apart after a few miles... napa quality!). And cleaned some crap out of my blower motor after finding that there is no cabin filter in my truck. These repairs made the engine run smoother, the transmission shifts better, the blower motor doesnt vibrate the dash anymore, and there is no more squeal for the first 10 minutes of driving. Also moved 3 loads of brick a short distance. For a truck these dont have much payload. Thank the lord for add a leafs.
