    A year ago this was a $12 lunch.
    Now it's $20 and the side is half the size.

    Yes, but think of all the money you have saved from all those nights closing down the bar!

    I truthfully haven't taken the time to take good photos but have been driving the ever loving shit out of it since all the good advice and wanted to make a good formal thank you to all those that have given me good insights on the job. @Wulf @Squeaky Penguin @JasonLee @jubei @Sub-Zero and everyone else I may have forgotten to mention in my drunken state.

    Very grateful for all insight. Only almost caught the driverside wiring harness on fire once. Jobs done. Couldn't be happier. Thank you all.

    Thank you kindly.
    For a brief moment I regretted buying the bushwacker overfenders. I'll definitely replace the hardware they came with at some point and do @jubei 's kydex fender liner deal. But they almost tuck the tires perfectly. In retrospect I think I may have made enough room for 36s. Especially considering they truly arent 35s. The only rubbing I has was against the frame at full bump (with the durobumps off) in 2hi full lock the bitch clocks great without problem

    Recommendation time...

    I'm replacing the UBJs on the SPC UCA's on my 2nd gen this weekend and will be seeking an alignment afterwards.

    What shops are recommended for doing this correctly (have actual knowledge to do more than adjust the LBJ cams and call it 'good enough')?

    As part of this alignment, I may want a recommendation or tweaking to the SPC setting to reduce/remove rubbing at the mud flaps at full stuff on bottom outs in washes. No, I'm not Overland enough to remove the mud flaps or CMC or "get smaller tires" than the 32's I have now.

    I'd go to Toytec or, like someone else said, Mountain Yotas.

    Toytec did a great alignment on my 04. No experience with Mountain Yotas but they clearly have a great reputation for specializing in Toyotas.

    I just need to figure out what I’m doing for front suspension now… I probably need to wait to get an alignment until after I replace/upgrade the front shocks.

    I cant tell if i am an idiot by trade or if its a natural trait but it seems i always find a way to one-up myself.

    does anyone know of a good paintless dent remove place in denver? Or do you think i could pop these out myself (the only body work i have ever done has been either at the gym or bar)

    If you cut your legs off at the knee to make yourself shorter, you won’t see them.

    Those create turbulance and reduce drag.

    All the kewl kidz have them all over their Colorado vehicles wining races, getting better mpgs, and have higher top speeds.

    Not in Denver, but Wes has done work on three of my vehicles over the years. He does great work, is fast, and his pricing was always reasonable. He does a lot of work for the dealers in Northern Colorado. Highly recommend if you’re willing to drive.
