    The new UCAs go real nice with the red coils.
    I took it for a short drive and I can't believe the difference. So much nicer. Tomorrow it goes in for an alignment.

    Looks good!

    I just finished a bunch of stuff on my 4runner, including coilovers, UCA's, and alignment. Even though the center of gravity is higher than before, it feels much more stable!

    Damn! I don’t even want to pull mine. 73,000 miles and all the salt on the Hwy in the last 3 years.
    Nice job!

    Thanks man!

    1.5 winters and 27k miles here. While I was swapping out my winter wheels and tires to my ATs, figured it would be a good time to clean up the drums and protect the exterior a bit; there's the aesthetic of it too, of course. Applied some anti-seize to the mating surfaces as well, due to each wheel needing some encouragement to be removed.

    Like the kicking the tire a few times kind of encouragement?

    Or, like the laying under the truck and putting a 2×4 against the wheel and hitting it with a sledgehammer kind of encouragement? :p

    At one point in my life, I exclusively drove old, corroded piece of shit cars, so I know all of the tricks! :)

    Drums look good!

    I'm sure that helped in developing creative ways to curse at objects!

    Not too bad for me, just a hammer to the tires a few times.

    So does Kenosha have a drive through beer place that is serving and could have a Tacoma meetup if we agree to sit in our cars or on the tailgates...?
    Madison has several where you can get a beer and sit in your car. Well Madison are.

    Hotel living is getting kinda boring and lonely hahah

    I really should do suspension next. Especially because I got my rear bumper that will be mounted after it's powder coated.

    Kenosha is pretty much carryout as far as I know.
    We do have a couple of drive ups to buy, but all of the county that I know of is no alcohol in parks.

    Yes we do shenanigan's on 22nd between 80th & 85th has a drive up window in the back. Woodman's has a beer store on the south side. All the grocery stores that I know of still sell beer.

    I'm in the la Quinta right by Woodman's haha. I've seen quite the assortment of tacos however none that I've recognized yet.

    22nd between 80 and 85th what's the drive up? I'm game. I've been scheduled through that week. Vs the single week scheduling they had been doing

    Milwaukee is having another drive thru Craft beer sale this weekend. No you can’t sit and drink em. It’s just driving up and getting craft brews. Some 7%abv

    last one they had I waited 2 1/2 hrs in my truck for beer. Not much else to do so I’ll probably show up for this one also.
