    Paid $13 friday to wash the wifes 4 runner before we left for Fredricksburg last friday. It rained on the way there and by the time we got there it looked exactly as it did before the wash. I only got to see it clean once when I got out to get gas right after washing it.

    I would suggest one of these. It's a must for any beer drinker.

    Would you be working on that side on town once you get learn'd? Communting to the east side (refineries, field services, etc.) would really suck from there.

    He did put the lift on. I think he just don't believe he'll mess with it, or change to another kit again.

    Shaddup You! Mine stopped being cute about puberty time btw :eek::eek:

    They turn into people about the time they can walk, talk, and out of diapers, then they're fun til about 13. I'm still waiting for 'em to come back around to being people again, mid 20s I figure.

    The place I took it to after I lifted my truck screwed me. They said they did the work but didn't get me a print out. Said something along the lines of that they just adjusted it to the computer and yadda yadda. So fine. Next day I look at it and the camber is way off for my liking. Tires looked like |----/.

    Called up Firestone and told them about what happened and I needed an alignment and was looking to get the lifetime alignment. They even took $30 off. Drop it off in the morning, and it was ready before 11. Get the print out and everything looks pretty close to the numbers I wanted. They asked what the hell did I hit. Told them I did some work on my truck and then they seemed to understand.

    Point being, Firestone didn't seem to mind that I had a lift. Worse comes to worse you take it to one for a free inspection and see if they'll do it. If they do, get the lifetime deal.

    P.S. I chose Firestone because it's nearby to where I work and live.

    If you are referring to NTB or firestone there is a reason they are so cheap. Been there probably 20 times or so and only had 2 'official' alignments. Do some research and find a reputable alignment shop around your area. A good alignment from a guy who knows what he is doing will cost about $80

    Edit: even if you mob the curbs it's still a good idea to get one annually.

    I'd be glad to host a mod day. Unfortunately my driveway is a hill and with a single car garage there isn't much room for shit. Time to move that's for sure.

    I honestly think they didn't do anything to my truck. But I can't prove it since I didn't mark the cams.
