Drink the koolaid

 

This doesn't help much, but in CA, the majority of that is just that bonuses are double withheld as opposed to double taxed. You should see most of it coming back in your return next year. It sucks, but at least it's not gone.

 

Yeah. I want it now dammit lol. It’s better to have it taken now then be surprised and have to pay next year.

 

I owed this year. Sucked. Goal is to get no return, but not owe.

If you get a big return, you gave the gov a 0 interest loan for the year. If you owe, it sucks... haha

 

Oh trust me I know. My moms a CPA. I hear it nonstop.

 

Sorry... it's a habit lol

Not an accountant anymore though! Now I'm in finance and soon to be an analyst. Thank god

 

UPS got me, the load bar and small package from CBI is delivering today. the actual rack rescheduled to monday for no apparent reason

 

Yeah, UPS kicked our box of springs off the truck but delivered shocks and UCAs as scheduled. Apparently the lackeys that load the trucks give no fucks and stuff that's too big ends up getting pulled off so the driver can drive and deliver. You'd think a shipping company would know the sizes of all the packages in the same group and put them on trucks that can handle the sizes.

 

Installed 1.5" body lift on brothers 4th gen in preparation for 35" tires. The radiator brackets was the toughest part. Lol go figure.

In the last month he has done wheel spacers, CMC, delta joints, rebuilt metal tech rear LCAs and metal tech rear Ucas.

Once tires are installed he is going to have a shop cut fenders/firewall if needed to clear tires at full stuff.

 

Love the new wheels

 

Yeah he is trying to cut least possible but I did tell him the same.

 

Your rear bumper cut is crooked...

 

He wheels the shit out of it. He was worried about his body riding so low when he down airs tires. Wanted some more clearance all around.

I have same body lift and he is always so surprised how much easier my body clears obstacles.

 

I try and wheel the piss out of mine. I’m not afraid of body damage so much but I don’t have any so I still care what it looks like. Once I get body damage, my care level will drop big time

 

Wait I missed wheels and bumper on your truck??

 

Looking at a first gen Tacoma trd OR today

 

I left right after the front bumper! Looks great!

 

Yeah I’ll see. Figure it’s no harm if I don’t like it. It’s got 180k miles on it but it’s pristine looking

 

So you've started me down a rabbit hole of 4 linking the Tacoma... I've read up on 4 and 3 link geometry for most the day now (It's been a slow Sunday at home). Did you set up your 4 link measurements using that famous excel sheet?
