    Very nice write up Monte.

    I'm with John on that pic, it's one of "those" shots.

    If anyone wants to know what it's like to drive frank (with a garbage alignment)....look at my face in this pic :rofl:

    Hey Monte just out of curiosity if you don't mind me asking how much do you have into your LT so far in Coils LCAS and such. I'm debating on going this route when I get another Tacoma, Don't feel like paying a left arm for SAS right now with money being pretty tight.

    :rofl:

    yyyeeeaaaa...haha its exhilarating! haha

    About 4k at the moment is what this setup would cost. Be about 5-6k into the front after gussets and hydros.

    Its not much cheaper the SAS really..BUT. It is way easier. And if you know you aren't going to be driving the truck SUPER hard and just mostly utilizing the travel, hydos and secondary shocks wouldn't be needed anyways so that would save you a lot. Be just 4k then.

    Actually it steers better now :anonymous: sorta...after an alignment itll be great.

    :luvya:

    Its just...character right?? lol

    So... neither the Pioneer, not the radio in the Corolla will play lossless .wav or .wma files. :pout:

    The good news is they will both play variable rate .wma. The variable rate files average 350 Kbps. :cool: Noticeably better that the 128 Kbps ones.

    Lossless was 400+

    Haha yea man! Glad you got me back. Shoulda tried out the 702s while you where up. I think they are even better. Finally almost totally broke in. The space they can create is epic.

    Yea...it's sad :eek:

    Oh and thanks for letting me have them so long. I enjoyed them a lot.

    Yeah, I know and I do sometimes but ripping in variable mode is very close to the CD original and a jump/thumb drive is so convenient. :p

    I have tried the 701 and 702 as well as the Q branded version :anonymous:... there was a group at my university that was into the headphone/audiophile world DEEP. I've been spoiled by the stuff i've heard. Audeze LCD2's were amazeballs. To continue the sidetrack to truck stuff.... Schiit Audio makes really nice stuff and is a born and built in the USA company, i've heard the LYR through a Bifrost as well as the valhalla thru the same DAC, some really good Schiit, excuse the pun. Watch out...prices are on the same level as truck parts :eek:

    I know you know this Monte and I cant imagine what a fully equipped studio would run :eek:
