    Thanks!

    I assume you run 303 shocks. I sent you an email earlier asking these exact questions so you are on the nose!

    I am going to go this route and will give you a call to schedule an appointment when i am headed west!

    Final questions - which bearing reducer set will work for Toytec aluma 2.0s?

    do the 2.0 and 2.5 use the same 5/8 bearings?

    The perspective of your reply makes it seem like you think i have elka but i assume this is a copy from a previous response. Also, on your website is says Fox & Icon are offset and Kings & ADS are centered so that makes me confused about this statement “you will need to use another brands spacers. … Fox and King are a direct replacement.”

    Just want to make sure i order the right thing the first time. Thanks

    Stuff and junk and things...
    Toytec aluma = Elka, that is the actual manufacturer. 2.0/2.5 doesn't matter they use the same lower bearings as long as your 2.0's are not first gen with the lower bushing and sleeve. Offset/centered also doesn't matter with 2.0's, they use that to clear the sway bar on 2.5's. The width is the same for all manufactures to match the Toyota lower mount.

    Seasonal patterns happen every year.
    Mice are the priority this year. Every city building has sent out work orders regarding the increasing rodent population.

    Guess where the prime locations are.
    All the break rooms in every building. Maybe clean up after yourself. I saw more than one box of donuts surrounded by crumbs and watched some twit just wipe it on the floor. I bet her house is infested with mice.
    All buildings that host childrens activities. Kids are like pollinating bees. You give them a cookie, they will be covered in crumbs and spread that shit everywhere they go.

    Every invoice I sent regarding this specifically says at the bottom
    " No Guarantee Against Mouse Incursion"
    I will not be offering a warranty. :rofl:

    maybe they are thinking the janitorial staff will do their job and clean? Wild they don't clean the floors at the minimum?

    I had Halloween candy in my pantry.

    When I was watching TV I would hear a crunching noise, didn’t think too much about it.

    Then one day I bit into a Snickers and thought it tasted still like shit, turned out the other end of the wrapper was open and a rodent had gotten into it and chewed on it. Probably also pissed into the wrapper when he was done.

    God I love Colorado in the fall.

    The cleaning staff is actually pretty top notch. They clean every day. But mouses are opportunistic.
    They will dart out for a crumb in broad daylight if hungry enough. Plus that stuff falls between the counters.

    As an example of their cleaning skills...
    When a door closer starts to leak, it drips oil directly on the exit devices below, or to the floor if it's a clear shot.
    I can tell which places have good cleaning crews by the oil stain on the floor, or the drips down the door. The City never has that problem and I hear them say all the time "It never showed any sign of leaking, why is it slamming?"
    Because your cleaning crew is on it.

    Maybe because the keep increasing the fees to ridiculous levels while they misappropriate the funds? A little motorcycle trailer I used to register for about $8 or something is now over $60. My truck was ~$1,300. Because TABOR restricts their ability to recklessly increase taxes, they jack "fees" through the roof.
    It's not loopholes they're concerned with as much as who's exploiting them.
    I say we dump a bunch of tea in the reservoirs.

    I miss the old days when you could register your ride in Wyoming :spy:
    Half the plates in FoCo were from Wyoming at one time.

    I found a deal on a koken 3/8 drive in a 1/4 body with the comfort grip handle. It is a very nice ratchet. The drag is minimal and leaves much to be desired with the icon. I did grab a 1/4 icon flex some months back on sale. Probably wouldn't recommend them over the gear wrench I have. 90t reduced arc and a thinner head compared to the others makes the gearwrench the winner for me. Koken feels best but a larger head and 72t makes it less versatile in a tight spot. the 3/8 in a 1/4 size is rather cool though.

    Still plenty of Texas plates down here. Might be the military folks, might be tourists, might just be people who never registered their vehicle locally. Texas uses a window sticker instead of a plate sticker so it's hard to tell from a distance if the registration is current.
