    Not that really, I'm not sure but I think it may have at the very least contributed to the ball joints wearing out.

    Nice to be able to access the ADD CV dust covers without having to go through removing the spacers.:eek:

    This has more to do with my ball joints than anything. Spindle hits the coils during articulation/droop. Aftermarket UCA should fix that. Probably the last major mod to the truck for a long time.:eek:

    Grinding was super easy. Took like 1 minute. Don't know why anyone wouldn't do this if they're concerned that the wheels won't fit.

    Wheeler's five pack leaf springs, Bilstein 5100s (rear), front tint, windshield top tint, Century Camper Shell/Cap/Topper, Wade window visors, Wade bug shield, cassette adaptor (so I can play Slacker Radio via my phone!), Sunday Blues with Dar sticker, Wounded Warrior Project sticker, no NRA sticker 'cause I don't wanna advertise ;-)
    Was attempting to drive over a curb to park in a full parking lot...and removed my *other* front mud flap...now I have none on the front and only the rears intact :eek:.

    And not my Tacoma, but noticed an extra cab next to me at a light with "frowning" rear springs...alas, I am not alone!

    Well, I broke the lower mounting bolt on my rear shock yesterday. I finished installing my shackles and zipped tied my new shock into place for the 9 mile drive home.

    Today I will be trying to extract that bolt and visiting Jorge@camelbacktoyota for a new bolt (now where is that list of bolts, screws, and clips that I needed from him).
