    I am in Goleta (suburb of Santa Barbara) and was wondering if anyone knew of a good HID installer. I have all of the parts (including headlamps) for the black headlamp mod and HID kit install, but really don't want to spend $80 on shipping to/from installer. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Agreed, I like using an allen wrench because you can flip it to get different angles

    Nope, not yet. :0/

    I'm planning on replacing my suspension with my tax return money. I'm not too sure if I'll have enough money to do it all but...we'll see. Coilovers & Leaf Springs are not cheap.

    I need to get my alignment redone and am thinking I want to run it by somebody who knows about lifted Tacomas/aftermarket UCA's etc as opposed to the average joe at Big Boners Tire Shop(I know this comment sounds judgmental but, I've had enough bad experiences at a certain tire shop that I'm over it).
    I also want to figure out why I have vibration issues at around 55+ mph(I can feel it in my accelerator pedal).

    I get excited watching everybody do all these mods to their trucks and slowly build them up... I always seem to have something come up financially that prevents me from getting stuff done on mine. Hopefully that will change soon though =0)

    The one located off Fairview.

    Are you going with Cooper STT's?

    I don't think I have a shim for my axle. I need to go get a grease gun & grease. In the mean time, I'd rather take it to a buddies so we can put our heads together and figure out what actually has to be done etc.

    Right on Timmy, I appreciate the offer man. :)
    I'll hit you up when I have time to tinker with it. Beer will be on me...

    I was out at Naples on Saturday....Shhh, big secret :p
    Honestly, it was a bit intimidating for me there on my 9 footer... Lots of barrels, someone broke their board, pretty fast...I would have liked something a bit more mellow to be honest.

    I was riding just below Seals on Saturday. Maverick?

    Don't even tell me you were up at Govey's or someting..

    I try to keep things on the DL even though most spots have been blown wide open by now. No need to draw more attention to the favorite spots. If I wanted to surf in OC, I'd drive down south....

    Nice. What sizes/ tire model are you looking at? I can get you guys prices
    Yes we do alignments too, and can almost always get it to spec unless something is bent
