    I have no idea what im doing with my cars ac, as far as recharging it after a compressor swap

    I guess i got some refrigerant in it because it actually quite cold but none of the knobs on the gauge set i rented were labeled and a couple fitting leaked to give you a picture of how well it went

    The boots are super healthy in these things, I was surprised. They came off a 4runner that had like 136k. I don't think it was an AWD model tho. Diff fluid was super clear too, so I think it either wasn't used or was well maintained

    Mesa PD swarmed in on a guy while they were driving an 80's Sentra with two year old out of date plates. They had on their tactical vests and weapons drawn while wearing t-shirts and cargo shorts. I was just pulling into the shop to get my tires balanced. I told one of them that they where being very sneaky driving that old car, he laughed.

    Are you guys talking about that show shameless? Cause if you are .. yes it's too accurate for some people. I watched the first few episodes when it came out cause all my buddies were raving about it and I stopped cause that screwed up family dynamic was a lllliiiitttlee too close to home for me to see how it played out :rofl:o_O



    Oh and totally serial about the minivan cop.. I was pulling up to an intersection that had two normal cruisers sitting in a line with their lights on behind what looks like an abandoned car and this caravan coming the same direction as the way they were sitting pulls up stupid fast. Sits and says something theough the window and I thought it was some jackass being nosey .. till he flips on his lights while blowing a Uturn and hauls major ass back the way he came

    Oh jeez I'm sure it can be a lil accurate reflection of many families.... That's sad man. They're just freaking kids.
    Yeah that show is so out of control and unbelievable that you can't stop watching lmao
    I haven't seen last couple seasons I think. But it was a freaking riot when I was watching. I was either rolling on floor laughing at them or jaw dropped wide open in shock at what was going on! :rofl::D
    I can't believe the 'state' can just keep people's private property. Beyond effed up man... I'm not gonna get started, I'm making thee decision to have a good day today:D

    Also, i helped put on a toytec assembled Billie 5100 lift with that billet spacer thing on coils and add a leaf and billies in back on that 2nd gen DCLB and I finally drove around with that buddy in his taco.... To say it improved the ride is an understatement. It was straight up like a caddie in comparison to before! This was a 2015 so the 'old' oem suspension wasn't that old, but boy was the ride fairly rough before.
    I couldn't believe how much better it rode. And that was Billie 5100s I can't imagine how plush kings or high end coil overs would ride???
    I guess my question is, can I expect that big of an improvement in the ride on my first gen as well? I know I know it's tough to say and every truck is different, but I'll be one happy mfer if my ride improves as much as my buddy's 2nd gen improved.

    4 run, 2 don't
    You going Bilstein 5100s as well?

    I really liked the 5100s in the back with no weight back there; allowed me to go 20-30mph over a speed bump without feeling the bump at all through my truck. It's only when I put weight back there that I felt it was too soft.

    New shocks will be a good improvement over worn out shocks any day. Just make sure you check your tire pressure to make sure you're not aired up by too much; that'll stiffen the ride quite a bit especially on 10 ply like myself.
