    It's sidewalls are aired down but the tread isn't... uh no.

    Thank you!

    It's absolutely filthy right now just like its owner.

    Whew what a day, good thing it was short because I think a fuse was ready to pop.

    Picked it up from the dealership. Seat belt recall for my 2011 AC. Frame inspection failed, so I will be getting a new frame. :bananadance: Gonna have them replace the body mount bushings and steering rack bushings with poly bushings while they have it all apart. Anything else I should do? One another note, I had a 2017 Taco as a loner. Stoked to be back in my 2011!

    If you're adding a lot aftermarket stuff to your truck always consider the ground path, most people don't. If everything is grounded close to where it's mounted then you might want to consider installing a larger than stock ground wire coming from the battery and going to the body/fenderwell. If you've added a higher output than stock alternator consider adding larger power wire to the alternator, a larger ground wire going from the engine to the trucks frame, and a larger wire going from the trucks frame to the trucks body.

    And of course TACOMA

    The only thing I did today to my Tacoma was drive it. I did pitch it sideways in a dirt lot but I don't have pictures...

    Today I swapped on my 650 lb coils. Man I hate using a coil compressor. I left zero preload to get a good baseline and see how much I wanted to lift. I threw the spare and CO2 in the back to see if it would bring it down any, didn't do much. So I'll raise the front up a little bit, probably not quite as much as it was before. Also RIP bed space.

    Hate spring compressors. That looks too sketch to me. That angle!

    Is there ANY spring compressor that is not sketch?

    Autozone had one like that and it started flexing just about the same. I had a buddy use that style from Autozone and it let go. Scary stuff
