Thug Rose in a box

 

Both of mine are senior rescues (aka weird af ), the gingers name is bill and he's a doof haha

 

Scratch is my oldie, 17.5
Thug is I think 10-11
Chase is almost 10
Ozzy is 8

Got them from people I knew except Ozzy who was a shelter cat

 

I also ended up needing Inner tie rods, those were pretty bad on the truck. They aren't on here, $136.89 each side from the same parts store. https://toyotaparts.mcgeorgetoyota.com

I picked up the truck today. Holy Hell the difference is AMAZING!!! The front end feels completely different from all of the new hardware. Planted and responsive, no extra movement when pulling into parking lots and going over speedbumps. The shocks still needs to settle some and soften up but the initial stiffness is not terrible at all.

Currently sitting at 1.5" lift with it sitting level front and back. I was expecting at least .75" increase in height from the longer shocks and taco lean spacer. I set the shocks on the 1st clip. Once the shock settle I will remeasure.

Before suspension install.
1/2 tank of gas from center hub to fender
FL-19.75"
RL-21.25"
FR-20"
RR-21.5"
=1.5" rake

4/23/2021-picked up truck from shop
FL- 21.5"
RL- 21.5"
FR- 21.5"
RR- 21.5"
Level truck front and rear w/ 1.5" increase in front height.

Changing all of the front components at once instead of a bushing hear and there made a drastic difference in feel. Adding the stainless steel break lines are a change that are worth while if you have old runner lines already. I've only had the truck for a little while and it is great. The shiny new bolts and white stickers don't look to bad either.

Some new pics.

 

This was a IS250. The customer came in with a list of issues. One was a brake noise. I wonder how long it has been like this, you know they probably said it just started making noise.

The same tech that worked on this car worked on a SC430 before it and couldn't connect to the tire pressure computer and no idiot light on the dash.
The tire pressure computer was unplugged. It had new tires on the car and the R/R pressure sensor was broken (loose in the rim) and they just put in a standard rubber valve stem.

 

Morning boys

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Saturday.

 

Morning Connecticut

 

I grabbed my self a nice new pair of Orvis waders to replace my old beat up ones. The wife let me spend all the money on the truck and buy waders??? Something must be up... I know I'm going to owe something lol.

The waders will be spending a lot of time with my in my truck his year.

 

Kick ass color

 

Pretty - all ready for the spring Fluid Filming.

Good afternoon CT

 

In January my wife let me buy a car I don't need.
In March I bought 1261 s. f. of hardwood floors.
Coincidence?
Don't think so.

 

Anyone near there that can look at them for me? If they are perfect I’ll send you the money to give to the seller. Please and thank you in advance.
