    I too have had GREAT luck with Rock Auto... did you get your 5% TW discount?

    Camelback... for me... not so much. I've been dealing with, and having very good experiences with McGeorge Toyota out of Virginia. Best prices I have found and damn near immediate shipping.

    It just occured to me... more jack stands will not just be helpfull... they may be neccesary. We'll probably end up having 4 jack stands under Matt's rig alone.

    I have two 6 ton, two 4 ton and two 2 ton. I think we'll at least have four of the six of my stands under Matt's. With 2 lifts going in addition to Matt's 3rd members.

    Pinstripes, dings, and dust.
    I’ll bring the two that I have. They are lightweight. 2 ton I guess.

    Pretty much finished the lift on the 4runner.



    Changing my mod for this weekend:
    LCA Bushings :annoyed:
    Upper ball joints :annoyed:

    Rear Diff breather
    Diff drop kit

    Unless I get to it before the weekend ...



    And yeah, on the hunt for a set of 285/70/17s MT or AT

    This 12.5 inch wheel to tire gap is an eyesore

    Welp, I got the front end all wrapped up last night around 11pm, everything torqued down, cotter keys installed, wheels on. This afternoon, after a re-adjustment of my eye-ball alignment (because at first it would not drive at all) I ran it down to let the Pros adjust it. All good now! Makes an insane difference from the squishy setup I had for so long. Still a few things to do this weekend though!

    Hey guys this is Jen :angrygirl:I just figured out how the smilys work. If you need to get info on ModDay let me know here. If you have Matt's number you can also text or call him.

    Btw... Matt said to make sure and say this is NOT a public service announcement. I don't know what that means.

    So, since I'm on here and I'm pretty sure Matt hasn't asked... what are you boys going to do for food on Saturday? Cause I'm worried about priorities you are probably not going to think about until you're greasy and rolling around under the trucks.

    I was planning to get coffee/doughnuts for folks on my way in. Matt was planning to have @Toki and I ready to get alignments by noonish. Can do drive thru runs from whatever is open right after?

    I proposed meeting up @ the McDonalds right off the Santa Rita exit on the 580 around 7:30am? No problem meeting up earlier if wanted.
