    Cut off and then sanded down the tabs on the back of my headlight reflector bowls so they fit the H4 alignment washer and locking ring for my D2S projectors.

    Those numbers will make the problem that you're experiencing. The alignment tech not only did nothing to compensate for road crown he actually made the road crowns affects worse with additional camber on the left front.

    "A brake pull will pull to the opposite side of the bad caliper."???

    Not sure if Toyota brake calipers (or replacement calipers) use steel or phenolic pistons, but a sticking piston can happen in a new caliper or a worn one. That means the piston won't retract and the caliper is still placing pressure on the pads/rotor of the side with the bad caliper.

    Why would you think a bad caliper would be on the opposite side of the pull?

    " fucked up my driveline and now I got a bad vibe"

    Looking at the super cool pics (ahem) I noticed all the smooth, flat surfaces surrounding the rocks that it appears damaged your driveshaft. I couldn't help thinking that if you'd considered your line... maybe to the left or the right of the BIG ASS BOULDERS you might not have to spend money fixing the "bad vibe".

    No disrespect, but most people don't have that kind of time to post links and do the research for you. We're just sharing what we have done to give others ideas or suggestions for their own rigs and keep it moving.

    Not sure why you quoted @o0oSHADOWo0o but then refer to my post? You're probably just being humorous. It was an obstacle course. Goal was to get over/through the obstacles.
