This starter kit is for manual:

I've told this story here before... Many years ago, I used to drive a manual Corolla and would leave it in neutral when I parked. One day, I drove the 60 miles into work and parked in a spot that was on a slight incline. I firmly set the handbrake. Hours later, Security calls me up and tells me my vehicle is blocking the lane. I went out there, and yep, it had rolled back into the lane. When the brakes cooled off, they lost their grip. Fortunately, it didn't hit anything. Never again have I left a manual transmission in neutral.

 

I like 'em! And they're E rated 255/80/17. I get a little rubbing when someone heavy is on the passenger side and I'm articulating with a turn. 1.5" Bilstein 5100 shock lift as well. Normal driving though, no issues whatsoever. After a month, they still smell like a horse barn though... lol

 

I guess speed is relative but mine is plenty fast for me. Never even occurred to me that it's slow. A year ago or so I switched carriers from ATT (They suck really really bad) to T-Mobile. I wanted to go with Verizon but they said "sorry, we don't support the Nexus 6 but we'll be happy to sell you one that works with our system". Told them no thanks, I'll go elsewhere. And like I said, battery life is phenomenal.

 

Thanks by mine still works perfectly.

 

The Two Stooges. Needs the chicken dance song.

 

Yup so 6 on the driver side and 5 on the passenger side with 600 lb springs. I’ll post a better picture of the truck at it sits stock. Only thing modified is tired and some methods. It’s a lot better then stock. My first impression are every bump is not as noticeable and it’s much more of a smoother ride. Now it’s not going to ride like a Cadillac but it’s still a truck. I didn’t have the tool to do the ECGS but I have the part. Hopefully someone on here can lend me the tool. Rear end has 5160 and OME medium leafs.

 

There’s a person I work with who I told that the car when parked should be in first. They swore it’s the same thing, doesn’t make a difference and that’s how they were thought... needless to say I don’t park near them...

 

Unfortunately my sticker bombed dash trim wasn’t very durable. So I bought a color matched OEM set and put in new OEM rubber floor mats. Edit: I almost forgot I put in the MESO Customs interior chrome delete for the vent rings, shift knob, and cup surround.

 

Leave a MT in 1’st gear when parked, unless you are facing forward on a downgrade, in which case leave it in reverse. Always set the emergency brake when parked. It least that’s how I was taught and what I do.

 

nice. no chopping or trimming anything? those are 33s right?

 

Installed 2020 grille.......

 

Yup, full 33's and no chopping. You are going to need at least the Bilstein 5100s set for 1.5" or 2" lift though. Without that, you'll be restricted to 75 or 70s.

 

Installed my plasticolor flaps and some trd license plate frames. Not quite the classic colors but I think it looks good anyway. Question to those of you with the plasticolor flaps: are you only using the factory mount points or adding your own? Only 2 or 3 line up nicely and they feel sturdy but im curious

 

I just hit legendary in ranked match’s. I didn’t realize you can play with a controller, I thought it was phones only.

 

I bought a very similar setup. Did you follow an instructional video for the install? I'm excited but a little anxious as I'm not the most mechanically inclined.

 

Damn, the sticker bombed dash looked good.

 

yeah watch Tons of YouTube videos to get a feel for what you have to do. As long as you have the right tools it will make the job a lot easier.

 

What lower bumper is that you have on your truck? Thanks
