    Gonna mow and then edge the walkways this morning. Nap this afternoon. Take Mrs. Spruce Mica out for dinner tonight.

    Installed this yesterday on my cowl intake. Since my car wash got new dryer blowers I'd been getting water in the cabin filter and dripping on the passenger floor. Ran thru to test...success.

    Hey kids. Takin' on the chin this week. Life is heavier than normal. I will prevail.

    Usually have them here by mid to late April. I put fresh nectar out a couple weeks back, and I haven't seen nary a one. Shame really. Nothing like a hummer in the morning to start your day. I live in a spot that has insane bird life, and this spring has been even better than normal. I'll see 12-14 species out my kitchen window every morning before work. Saw two species I've never seen before in my life in just the last week, Indigo Bunting, and yesterday, a Brown Thrasher. But no Hummer's.

    This is in my (near) future.

    I'll also say I don't have salt catchers on mine. If I have to make it easier to get in, I'll lower it first :jpow:

    Hey Mike... I've been pondering something and would appreciate your expertise. You probably remember I've brought a couple of Tacos back from the grave. Totaled trucks with minimal damage that could be repaired in the driveway. I sold one and ended up with my 2012 Baja Series. I like everything about the truck except the height. I was seventy my last Bday and it's getting harder to get my leg high enough to get in the truck... and I doubt it will get any better. Is the factory lift something that can be removed? If I put the same shocks on from a normal height truck would mine be the height of a regular Taco?

    Thanks...

    Baja series is like what, 1.75” higher than stock?
    You are in a very good position.
    EVERYONE wants to put a lift in their truck.
    I bet you could find a small group of guys that would do a driveway swap.
    I don’t see why a spring/shock swap (front and rear I assume) wouldn’t work.
    Maybe sway bar link length difference?
    My only concern would be your wheel tire combo, offset, width, etc.
    I’m sorry but I don’t remember if you have steps on your truck.
    There are a shit ton of styles to choose from or a different design to better suit your needs.
    Myself a set of steps would be a viable option.
    No downtime or screwing with a truck you worked so hard to get right.
    No invasive work.
    The truck is still your truck like you want it…
    Hope I’m not off base but I would do anything I could to avoid ripping into that truck.
