    TRD E-locker rear axle swap, Cherrybomb Extreme muffler, custom made CAI, 2.5" spacer lift up front and AAL's in the rear, Sport model seat swap, Pioneer X940BT, Kicker shallow 10" and 12" behind the back seat
    ummm... relocates the sway bar? LOL

    drops the sway bar down at the frame mounts to A) keep the sway bar end links at more normal angles after a lift, and B) also keeps the end of the sway bar and the end links from contacting the struts or front axles after a lift

    probably not needed unless you approach 3" or higher. I have no problems at all with mine without relocating it with about 2 1/4" lift

    Conducted my oil change/oil catch can empty/air filter cleaning/vacuum & car freshener/wash and detail all at the house. Why do people pay the stealerships to do these things? Was going to do the spark plugs as well because I just hit 30k miles, but I don't have a gap gauge. Guess its back to the auto store for me.

    PS. Let me say this, if you dont have a oil catch can I would suggest you get one. The stuff that comes outta that thing just blows my mind that it is an acceptable thing to car manufacturers. Even a cheap one would be better than nothing.

    Got my Famous Fabrication sliders on today. Looks like the truck needs a wash tomorrow. This side is in the bright sunlight, but I think the Rustoleum Satin Black matches the mirrors perfectly.

    Well after some research, I went and got trail fx window vents installed and ordered my weather tech floor mats from Trucks and Moore in Augusta, Georgia, I also went to an auto-hell store and bought a stubby 17" antenna to replace the long whip. Trucks and Moore was Awesome place, got a good deal, good service, and good advice. When I come back in July I will have them install my leveling kit. Real nice guys I told them I would put the good word out for them, they have a website and ebay, covering orders all over the U.S.
