    Besides installing the remaining parts I have sitting on the shelf, I realized I have nothing other than those 4Runner wheels planned to go on the truck. Guess I gotta save some cash to get those powdercoated. $370 all together. After driving the truck today, I realized it rides too nice for me to keep screwing with the suspension, so the Billies will stay at "0" for now. Rake settled some too. Its a great feeling to finally get rid of a noise.

    Now, the neighbor has a non starting 3rd gen 4Runner sitting in his driveway. I may ask him about it. Hopefully he's wanting to sell it to a junk yard. I want to grab those bucket seats. 4Runner parts sell real good here too, could be worth a part out if I had the space for it.

    Matching 3rd Gen TRD OR Wheels are officially happening for the trailer. I have two rims in the mail coming for me.

    Time to find a good deal on BFG KO2's.

    The only good price for those garbage tires is free, or if you can find some place to pay you for them

    Super high price for what is essentially a bottom tier all season at best. They suck at wet traction, they suck at gravel traction. They're surprising good at snow traction (who'd have thunk it), and they're passable on dry pavement. They don't balance worth half a shit, cup and chunk easily and you can only get them in sizes that are e rated so while doing everything poorly they also are harder than trying to do Chinese algebra in breastaurant. If they were like $110 a tire they would almost be worth it if you can put up with poor performance for a long time. Cause they're a curse, once you have them it takes at least 45-50k before they wear out which is an eternity for shit tires.

    Most likely gonna have to do an axle flip for those to fit under the fenders. Hopefully the axle does not have bend in it.

    I think the axle was replaced, the guy told me the travel company said a lot of them had new axles. Not sure about mine.

    I highly doubt it'll fit under my existing fenders. I might have to get bigger ones.

    I thought almost all trailer axles have a bend for toe?

    Yep, they do.

    If Bart is just gonna toss on new fenders, than that will save a lot of work.
