    Too poor to list anything interesting.

    I'm glad they're coming out with more session beers. Makes it easy to quench your thirst while working on things.

    First time I did coils it did take more beer. After doing coils on the taco and 4 runner I've got pretty fast. As long as I don't have to deal with top plate spacers, have a bench vise, and obviously my (modified) HF spring compressor it's not a hard job.

    I will stay away from the blocks.
    I was thinking about 1" lift in the back because I'm going 2.5" in the front.
    How much lift do you get when you go the refurbish route? Is it always a surprise at the end?

    Since we're talking about what the Toytec guy said he also said that I would have a rough ride if I put the Ebiach coils on that I already have without a heavier aftermarket bumper. Is that false too??
    Thought is to just go an inch now and then later put the new could on and then refurbish the leafs and then get Bilstiens for the back when I can afford it.

    And the other side cause my phone wouldn't let me post 2 pics at the same time....
    This side sits 1" lower than driver measured from fender to tire. Where the cab meets the bed you can also see the inch difference compared to drivers side. The back of the bed also sits lover that the front of the bed.

    They don't look that bad. I'd definitely go the add a leaf(s) route over blocks there. The ride will be a little firmer but you'll have less axle wrap and more load carrying ability. This was one of the first things I had a problem with on my taco. It took me a while to get something I like but I'm pretty content with my set up currently.

    I wouldn't call myself that just yet. Haven't even started. I've been studying John Palmer's guide to homebrewing and I'm going with the extract route first. I want to get the mechanics and sterilization down first before I progress to partial mashes and eventually the holy grail: all grain.

    Good luck man!

    I love me some barley wine and hefe.
