    Now need to find out why my washer fluid all dumped out. Haven't had time to investigate if it is just a hose or connection or if it's the tank.

    That sucks that it has become necessary to do all that and is a pain in the ass but it will probably save you money in the long run and be well worth it.

    Awesome Monte! Will be using that write up in the future.

    Loosen coolant temperature sensor so when the new one comes in all I have to do is replace, reassemble air intake, and hopefully start with no problems :pray:

    After a lot of deliberation, I finally bucked up for a new set (5) of tires.
    Cooper Discoverer ST MAXX in 235/80/R17 since I am running 17" FJ wheels.
    I had great luck with 2 previous sets of Cooper Discoverer STs so I stayed with the same brand.
    Now I need to spend time building my rear tire carrier so I can show off these $$ tires! :D

    Just replaced my air/fuel sensor. I do believe Toyota employs an individual who's sole job is to make parts fit into tiny places.

    After 5.25hrs shop finally got my eibachs swapped for 881's. After only ~9months the lower shock bolt was frozen. They had to cut off the head and press it out of the bushing. Not sure what the hell is up with it, but it made a nice loud bang once they pressed it out.

    Truck looks better now:

    Before: 5100's/eibachs. Drivers 23.25" (to busted fender) from center hub. Pass 24.25" from center hubs. Crappy pic, but dat wheel gap up front...

    After: Drivers 22.5" center hub to busted fender, passenger side 23" center hub to fender
    Got some rake back, rides smoother, and my ball joints and cv's are much happier
