    The garage is all cleaned up. I should be starting around 10am. Guessing this'll take 2-3 hours. The plan is to pull the rear axle and possibly leaf springs and get them setup for sanding, priming and painting. Should be a fairly easy job. PM me if you need my address.

    Tuesday night around 5pm, going to tear down the intake with Silas in prep to installing the blower.

I'm not quite sure how or where to mount the ballast and hide as much of the wiring as i can... friday is the best for me as that is my next day off from work

    Need some advice, for new tires looking at getting 285/75/16's but I don't want to run spacers, any idea on an not over priced rim that has enough back spacing so no ubbing will happen?

    i run that size in the winter, I'm running my KMC XD enduro wheels which have a 4.5" backspacing and 0 offset although the wheels themselves sit extremely close the the brake calipers there is no rubbing on them as far as the tire they only spot i rubbed was the bottom front bumper which this winter will be cut out... talk to the guys at discount tire and see if they have a decent wheel set up with the same or similar specs as mine that won't kill your wallet

    I will be around on Friday, possibly repairing the liftgate on a friend's 4Runner. I'm not the greatest at electrical but drop on by if you're just looking for a second eye, some freely shared opinions and general help. PM me if you need my address.
