    Happy Friday.

    I'm liking Fridays more and more the longer I'm at the current gig. Not a good sign.

    Coils/ 5 link in the back. Just like the 'magical' and ground breaking 'new' design on the high end 4th gen tacos...

    That does explain the feedback on reviews of the new Tacomas re: ride. Surpising that it also boosts payload.

    I believe I could trash them in a month's worth of trips to the cabin. :notsure:

    Again it's how you plan to use your truck ... if you're using your truck on the road only, you don't need "off road shocks." I expect the ride is different full OEM between a TRD Sport and a TRD Off Road. On the trail, not that I beat up Stitch, Stitch actually rides better a bit quicker than slower on moderately rough/rutted sections. If that makes any sense?

    "Magical & New" ... marketing at it's best. :)

    I also run a cap and just replaced the front OEM Bilsteins on my '19 Off-Road with true 4600s at 86K miles. One shock exploded when compressing the spring, so it was time. The 4600 ride is noticeably firmer with considerably less (virtually zero) brake dive. I will do the rears in a few weeks. I would not want to go firmer than 4600s (e.g. 5100s) for my needs.

    Called animal control (useless) to report these off leash pits that keep coming into our yard and my dad’s. She went by an hour and a half after I called and crickets. Second time in three days they’ve been after the chickens. The black one growled and charged at me while hubs and his buddy were doing the truck bed removal, heaved a rock at its head and they bolted. They’ve been in my dads yard growling at him and chasing his chickens too. They’re getting taken care of with my rifle next time. Three strike rule, particularly being aggressive and going after my pets on my own damned property. Nope. I hate shitty dog owners.

    Snips from a video where they do friggin laps around the coop and jump on the chicken wire. :mad:

    Outside the coop idea: take the dogs as your own and get them trained before killing them? I'm half kidding. Their owners probably only like the idea of them and obviously not the responsibility part; they may even be relieved..

    They’re white trash renters that live through the woods on a different road (dad knows the one, used to deliver mail). They have like five friggin dogs, shit everywhere, trash piled. Sounds like i’d be doing them a solid.

    I love dogs. But an aggressive dog in my own backyard will probably not end well for the animal. However, I would go to great lengths to try and find out who it belonged to and address it that way. But if the owners blow it off then it's likely nothing good will come of it.....sadly

    You don’t have to post public but I would love to see a few pics of that. It’s possible we were there at the same time..
