    Ah, missed the subaru seat mod in your build. That should help a lot.

    Be ready to suffer! lol.

    Well honestly not having cruise control was worse than the seats, but at least it helped me stay awake since I was by myself.

    Took her to the car wash, then went to stealerships and looked at 4Runners for the girlfriend. She wants a Black '02 but doesn't like the brown/gray paneling on the bottom. Her response to that was "fuck it, I'll plasti-dip them." :D

    Last summer I drove from SoCal up to Washington straight through towing my motorcycle trailer which is over 1100 miles. Left at 4:30am in the morning and arrived at about 11:15pm. The only uncomfortable part like you mentioned was the seat started to get sore after four hours or so, but a folded up blanket took care of it. Other than that, it was a pleasure and I look forward to doing it again in a few months.

    Good idea with the blanket. The truck did very well though on the long trips.

    After two trips to Autozone, two broken bolts, two cross-threaded bolts, and a cross-threaded lug nut, :D I FINALLY got my eibachs and 5100s installed! :yay: As you can tell from my majorly epic bro lift... it is now time to get those expo leaves. :laugh:

    Aparently, some grade 8 bolts can't take 96 lbs/ft... :crazy:

    Painted the roofrack bars on my camper shell black. Looks MUCH better. Also relocated my license plate to under the bed behind the stock spare so it doesn't block my hitch.

    WTF? Are you right-handed or left-handed? I think that whichever one you think you are, you aren't.

    I've been thinking about this. Im regretting pairing the billies and the OME coils, they seem to ride pretty rough on my dirt road.

    Haha the billies and ome coils work fine together. I'm running a higher spring rate than the 882s and I like the ride...could be better but it's still decent. Roads are really subjective though, it's pretty hard to compare what road will feel good or bad depending on suspension set ups.

    Well idk, maybe its other suspension parts being worn but it almost seems like the shocks aren't stiff enough for the heavy spring rate. Maybe it's all in my head:eek:
