    Ha, not as crazy as some of the other guys at the meet (videos uploading now :spy:) supraTT kind of exploded an axle shaft in his Ford 9" rear and drove around for half the day like that. :cool:

    Sometime I do too (only PreRunner) but I still love my truck a lot and will still make it look good :D

    It gets me to where I need to go. Plus not too many places to off road back home too, I think.

    Nah... he went to a junkyard and pulled two actuators off an '85 Toyota.

    Chances of success, with me at the helm, is 0.000000001%

    Yea it should be fine. So what's your suspension set up? Is it stock other than the leveling kit they installed up front? Or do you have somethin out back?

    Will those even line up?

    Not undoable. Really just 4 bolts and like 6 screws. Its just mot fun working in that small of an area. Although I bet your going to have to pull the window to make it do able. That's not so easy.

    Painted the previously derped door handles. This pic was taken before I cleaned up the primer that's on the other parts of the handle.
