    The Packers have the best record for draft personnel coming in and making contributions! I wouldn't count the Pack out until game 16 of any given season!:thumbsup:
    Superbowl XLV the Pack was a wild card.

    The Bears still suck!:rolleyes:

    Oh the bears still suck !!!

    I'll never forget the first time I heard that song. I was in the BWW on the same road Lambeau is on. Me and my Buddy went in there Mostly to change but to have a few too. That was one a non stop loop. Being I live in bear territory I forced to live with these morons. I was there on the Frozen Tundra for the Pack-Bear game in 2010

    Don't mean to jack the thread but I am looking to buy a jack (seriously). What size do you use, thinking about getting a 3 ton, is that sufficient. Also need to find jack stands, 2 for sure, eventually 4.

    Are there any reputable shops that can do some welding in the Madison area? Looking to relocate the shock mount, shackle flip, add some hydraulic bump stops, secondary shock hoop, and relocate the cab mount.

    You might want to check out J&L automotive and 4wheeel drive -- They may do some welding and custom work. I used them to do some work on an late 70s full size jeep but that was more than 5 years ago. They have a website here - http://www.jl4wd.com/

    Alternatively, you could try East Side Service on Fair Oaks Avenue, but he is a one person shop and does a lot of boat work too -- though he has had some custom vehicles in his shop. He is familiar with Toyotas since his son was a mechanic at Smart Toyota and understands the frame problems and he may know of someone who would do the work you want. I'd suggest calling and then stopping by his shop to get a response since he goes out to work on boats for his regular clients around the lakes.

    Good luck -

    I use one of these 3 ton jacks that are the SUV type. It has an extension on it of about 6" inches -- can't remember where I purchased mine -- I did have a nice AC/Delco jack a long time ago that was nice with a plastic case picked that up at an Advanced Auto - http://www.amazon.com/Torin-T83006-SUV-Service-Jack/dp/B0028JW4PU

    I've heard good things about the jacks from Harbor Freight. Personally, I have a craftsman that came with two jack stands.

    Ok got it, thats the far west side, I usually stick to the east side by the lake, so thats why I haven't seen it.

    P.S. you might want to post your bed rack in the michigan thread as they have the silver lake dunes over there, one of the dune runners might be interested.

    Cool. I just got my frame inspected at East Toyota. They recommended Madison Auto Trim for under coat spraying. Anyone have experience with their product?
