    lol yeah had to get a rear shackle pin today, nobody nearby carried it so I called the (stealer) dealership & they wanted to sell me a shackle & pin for $120 :mad:

    I ended up driving 30 miles to get a pin from a screw shop for $2.90

    GAHHHHHH..... much better though :)

    No I definitely didn't.
    Before I started (at 5pm) I had the Yota half way out of the garage and my Dad just looked and said
    "ya know if you don't finish tonight you'll be sleeping out here with my tools"

    I moved the truck fully into the garage and boy am I glad I did :eek:

    Do you guys think a used sensor will be ok?? now i'm debating if i should just spend $750 and have that peace of mind! But $300 sounds better than $7750

    Well you always run the risk of getting a bad used sensor unless the seller guarantees it. What sensor are you talking about though?



    Trouble getting the new one in. They were quite a bit stiffer than I had expected.. not to mention this was my 1st rodeo when it comes to swapping rear leaf springs :p but they're all in now!!

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Paid $.86 for a window handle spring clip (Damnit Clip™) at Toyota today. They had to special order it. That caught me off guard until I realized everything now has power windows.

    I experienced the opposite, had to cut out my old ones (major PITA) but the new Wheelers pack went in smooth. looking forward to your lifted pics, should match up nicely with your front set-up
