    I'm stilling thinking about the military when I'm done with school. You don't like california? I know we have too many restrictions but I gotta say, I can't think of a nicer environment to live in... but that's just me, and my opinion only really matters to myself haha :D

    San Diego: Beach (surf, snorkel), snow (boarding), dezert (bikes, truck), awesome weather.

    I see. Why is TC and Burg so much more? Any speculations? I was leaning towards engage, but I gotta say, with their spindles the truck does ride extremely high. I'm leaning back towards TC... does the TC kit eliminate the lower A arm balljoint?

    I have a question for you guys. Im installing my new camburg uca's on my 4runner and the instructions say to have the alignment shop add additional castor over factory spec. Him much should I tell them to add?

    That's a hard thing to guess because it also depends on tire wheel size. After market UCA's allow you to add additional degrees of negative caster to improve stability and steering, but when you add negative caster and if you already have bigger tires and wheels than the further back you go, the more likely the tire will hit the rear body mount, plastics, etc.

    Not sure what a good setting for a 4runner is, but for our Tacoma's with 285 tires, 3.2-3.5 is a pretty good setting to avoid rubbing.

    dont get me wrong, i love CA. lived here for the majority of my life, but i can't take the liberal hippie douche bags anymore... i need a break. it would also be nice to live somewhere that it's not required to work your ass off just to be able to get by... in other states money goes so much farther.

    as for the TC/ camburg vs. engage argument, PM me and i will glady share my thoughts...

    thats what mine is

    how gnarley did you guys go when you painted your fiberglass, I went to a couple shops and it was crazy when they added up blending and color matching and curing. For the pair top notch shit they wanted 1500. Just color match they wanted 800
