yea he does

 

I always shift and down shift in my truck. Makes the truck feel more powerful. I want a damn manual

 

i shift mine manually all the time

 

Yes I saved everything so if I wanted to put it back to stock like now, I could.

 

Last week I started a batch of my own cherries I filled a large mason jar with marachino cherries and filled it with Disaronno. They should be nice and tasty in about another week or so.

 

Hey guys, quick questions. I'm gonna remove my lift soon. I know the parts I need are new top plates for the springs so I can have the shop put my factory parts together and then I can install them. Umm to remove the aftermarket ucas and put the stock ones in, I just need to get that long uca bolt right? Then I should be ok. And for the rear I dont need anything right? Just remove the aal and its back to stock right? Thanks guys. Sorry for the dumb questions. Just trying to see what I need so when I put things back to stock, I dont run into any problems

 

Well you dont really need a new bolt, you should be able to reuse your stock one. I got new bolts and cut the old ones out to make it easier. Do you have the stock washers? I know light racing UCAs come with their own washers. If you dont have them i think i saved mine and you can have them. If your top plate spacers are not spoken for i might be interested, are they the 1/4 ones? I actually only need one.

 

Thanks for the infor dude. Yeah I could use the washers if you have them. Idk if i'll have the top plate spacers. I have to see.

But I was thinking guys. Is it really worth taking all these parts out and putting it to stock Or would you just say fuck it and trade it in as is. I mean I found a 02 tacoma with only 26,000 miles on it. Only thing its s v6 but access cab and I like the 2 doors. Do you think I would get more on a trade in for stock or would you just trade it in as is and not bother taking these parts out and paying to remove them since I have no tools.

 

I'd take it all off and trade in stock form .
Pocket the extra cash from all the people that want your parts.

 

As for your first question, take the AAL out of the rear, cut the centering pin down again (if needed) and your rear is stock again.

With regards to trade in, you won't get any more or less for a trade if the truck is lifted or stock height. If you've got the time, you might as well sell off all the stuff you can and get the money out of it because the dealership won't give you anything for the aftermarket stuff. Just my $0.02.

 

That's true. I was thinking of just taking al the parts off and selling them. Then I would have the money for a lift for the new truck haha

Thanks. Yeah I was gonna take the parts off but just though why waste the time you know but if there not gonna give me anything for it then yeah I should just take the parts off and sell them.

Since I don't have a garage or the right tools, anyone wanna help me take the parts off and put it back to stock. I'm willing to pay you .

 

And you didn't shut off email notification because..

 

Good reason to not drink water..just stick to beer!

But seriously the ban is 16oz or smaller. Most companies sell a 20 oz version. What a waste of time..

 

x3^^ plus you already got everyone worked up about your lift,uca's,Weathertech's,grill etc.
Take care of your TW brothers! and sisters(sorry Becky)

 

You've got 2 options here as I see it.
Option 1 - trade the truck as-is and sell the stock parts. The dealership won't give you any more money because of the aftermarket parts and you won't get a lot of money selling the stock parts because, well, they're used stock parts.

Option 2 - Put the truck back to stock and sell the OME lift kit and LR UCAs. You'll get the same trade value from the dealership and could make a decent amount of money selling off your stock parts. The money you'd get from your current lift could get you started on some aftermarket accessories or a lift for your next truck.
