    California requieres a front plate. We keep the on off my wife's mini in pocket behind seat. You have get smog checked every 5 years but no windshield sticker Registration sticker goes on rear plate. and card goes in vehicle. If you don't have your front plate and get stopped for something else you will get written up as part of the ticket. Have mount it and have it signed off.

    Wow, they have this size back in stock?! I checked a few weeks ago and my local DT couldn't find any in stock across the country.

    What'd you use to press the ball joints out/in? Hook a brother up with a part number for the BJ's too please :thumbsup:

    Both of the BJ's my LCAs are starting to spew grease. They're fine for now, but I'm wanting to replace them sooner than later so I'm not paranoid about them failing when I wheel. I know it's easier to just buy new LCAs from Moog/Dorman. However, I'd rather keep the OEM arms and spend the money on Whiteline bushings and new ball joints.

    Ball joint acdelco ,moog bushings,here’s a pic of what I used.I rented ball joint press & a master press kit from auto zone, to press out the ball joint you need a 2 3/8” or 2 7/16”tube,to press in 2 1/4” tube.Just rent the to kits so it makes it easier .Hope that helps you when you take this on.C965847E-FDBB-4387-BE64-E0B411EF521A.jpg

    I got this from @allinquicksand that’s his Instagram. He makes custom tacoma decals. That’s where I got the one on my driver and passenger side doors too.

    And my girlfriend today told me to seek professional help. So here we go. She claims I go out of my way every time I drive to find mud, dirt, or anything dirty to drive through. Today I got the truck stuck. What kind of tires would you recommend for some one who tries to stay off the beaten path. Here is my current tires.20180719_202046.jpg 20180719_202123.jpg

    I hope this is a sufficient picture! I’m going to go to the .85 setting and it should be close to level. 82CE35FB-B775-4048-A91F-A551A9BE9CAE.jpg
