    Well you're a prerunner so this MOD doesn't pertain to you, but the grey wire mod is for the engagement of the locking rear diff. in any mode (2H/4H/4L ) Usually for 4x4's anyway, the only way to engage the diff is in 4Lo, with this MOD you can engage the locker anytime...

    My pass. side rear fender flare has some trail damage, so I decided to pop them off, not sure if they'll go back on or not....

    Those little TRD flares do keep a lot of shit off the sides though, more than I thought...

    I'd say leave the flares off Doug it looks good without them. I know you like your truck to look "clean" as in no stickers or decals

    Hey nice :thumbsup:

    I'm thinking of going the junkyard route with my leaf packs. Do you have any idea what the size of the bolts going through the middle of the pack is?

    just throwing in my 2 cent update on my junkyard pack. With my truck weighing in a hefty 3360 pounds I was getting beat up. I took a job 77 miles away and I just couldn't travel up I-5 one more day with this kind of abuse....so I removed the smaller of the two leafs and put my OL back in. Ended up with the same amount of lift and the ride is way better! the dips is what was killing me. The rear had no movement so the front was bouncing up and down afterwards and I was getting thrown off of my seat just enough to hurt my back. I'm sure if I had the extra weight of an extra cab and a v6 I wouldn't be talking about this but a regular cab 4 cylinder Prerunner is as light as a Civic!

    I was wondering what happened to you Terry, if you remember I mentioned to you that with the thickness of the Dodge springs you chose,you may be a little "over sprung", but you did what I would've done in the situation (removing 1 spring) getting the results you wanted, so its still a win IMO...;)
