    I have the hankook rt03 and absolutely love them. Super budget friendly too, at least when I bought them. Had discount tire price match Walmart online for $193 a tire.

    I used to have cooper st maxx, cooper mtp, and now the hankook. Both sets of coopera died prematurely because of a torn sidewall and I used that as an excuse to upgrade. I’ve already torn a hankook but now I have replacement certificates so I just got a new one.

    Mini split! I have one in my garage for exactly that!

    PS. sorry I haven't been around much lately. just been crazy busy with home projects, telework, and well....favors the neighbors ask me to help with. This is the only thing that kinda sucks about owning a sub compact tractor with front loader and back hoe!

    If anyone is active military in our area, let me know. I have a cool offer for them.

    Front Diff Spacer Removal = pretty straight forward, right?

    I plan on doing at least one preemptive PB blaster soaking of all the bolts/nuts that are involved in the weekend suspension, UCA swap and removing diff spacer, bolts and putting in stock bolts (already in hand).

    I know removing the UCA thru bolt requires some bending and manipulating on the inner fender liner area, but hoping to get it all done in a few hours early Saturday morning and get it over to firestone for lifetime alignment service (figure I'll have to have screenshot print outs with the LCA adjustment instructions, along with the UCA settings).

    These help A LOT for UCAs. I bought some just for it. Really allows you to crank back that sheet metal.

    What Randy said.

    Also be careful on the passenger side not to catch that bundle of wires for the air conditioning. Ask me how I know this thing.

    Yes definitely this. Unclip the wiring from the fender and be mindful of anything else in the way. Sometimes I have to unbolt a couple little brackets.

    That sucks, but I try to put myself in their shoes also. They have to make a living and their expertise and experience is worth it. With that said, this is a little steeper than I like.

    Good deal, between my tool stash and my FiL's garage, and shipping container "parts and pieces" storage, we should have enough.

    Yeah, my BiL was like, wtf was Toyota thinking with the thru bolt design/location?!? He followed up, You're replacements came with thru bolts and washers, right? Because we're cutting those!
    -Sadly I responded, nope, I could order replacements, but figured we could put in the elbow grease and get them out!!
