    Amazon. They are the 4 1/2" Daystar ones. About 50 bucks IIRC.

    Going to upgrade soon though.

    I am thinking of going with the Timbrens...I think they will give me the right amount of uptravel when compressed.

    I have heard Timbrens are better for towing use...something about being very bouncy on compression or something.

    Yeah I'm looking forward to finally getting some nice parts in the rear suspension with the timbrens, Shock relocation and king smoothies. I like my allpro expos but I want to finish off the rear end right and cleanup my front end with some nicer Coilovers and a better UCA while getting the lockers installed. Truck is gonna be down hard for a weekend or so...I am taking the whole thing apart!

    So I just scored some barely used Clazzio Leather seat covers for a good price! Woot! Been on the fence between them and wet okoles for some time to the point where I just kept kicking the can until these popped up for half of what Wet Okoles or Clazzios new would have cost... Even with the group buy.

    Also priced out my new suspension bits... She better ride like a caddy once I drop this coin!

    Wouldn't you like to know... ;)

    Just fucking around. Nope not LT... Once I priced it out I was really looking at SAS kind of money at that point once I bought an extra set of longer CVs and got everything that goes with it like the spindle/Coilover bucket reinforcements...

    Plan is to get some King Extened travel Coilovers and some new UCAs in the front and get the 12" King 2.5 Smoothies in the rear. Still a fat chunk of change!

    That's a good bit of cash right there! It should all be working good too.

    Only thing I'm on the fence is which UCAs. Stuck between Icon and TC leaning towards Icon. Then the Lockers when I get back and some other smaller mods...Like a new clutch since my wife has been smoking mine ever since I left!!!

    Nice. You don't need to tell me its a bit of cash. I've been spending money all on my truck. New icon ucas, king coils, crawl box, led lights galore, and a frontrunner rack with accessories, tundra brakes, and new cvs... yeah...

    Seriously you have been spending a bunch of money on your truck!!! Too bad it's the Wrong Gen ;)

    I'm setting aside 7k for the Taco for mods this year... That should be enough to get the suspension smoking, last bit of armor, locked and geared and a bunch of other stuff I had been meaning to do...I hate deployments but I love the moeny when I'm done...

    Money tree about dried up. Going to start looking for a new house by the end of the year. Good thing I'm done with the major mods.

    When in October do you come back

    Yeah buying the house really slowed me down financially! When you were renting I was good but our Mortage and insurance and utilies all went up a lot...Ohh well such is the cost of home ownership. I love our hous...I mean my garage and her house.

    Should be before Halloween but I have mucho work to do on the Taco before the next wheeling trip...Lots of welding, lots of stuff
