    It does have 3 yes. The ears ripped off on the old ones. Got new ones and don't want the ears ripping off.

    That wasn't a serious answer was it?

    Think so? Your truck can be driven on the street and still tear it up in the dirt. His truck is awesome but it is a full blown race truck and not a capable pre-runner. Two very well built trucks for two totally different purposes.

    BTW, I havent seen your for sale post yet on RDC. Your going to get way more attention there from teams looking for a pre-runner.

    I haven't written one yet haha, but you're right on pretty much every point. They're just different trucks. I built my truck with Mexico in mind: reliable on pump gas and 4x4 with heat and AC, a comfortable all day driver which I've done in Parker for 8 hours but it needs some finishing work IMHO. I don't know if it will hurt but I love Lalos truck so I'm biased haha

    You better be one of the ones I can't catch!!!! I always catch the slower half of the TL guys when we run our truck! Makes me feel good passing tube chassis linked trucks. LOL I know the faster ones I can't touch though...

    Your tie rod has a place for a wrench on it. You need to break loose the lock nut first and then your tie rod end will unscrew.

    Does anyone want to trade a stock or quiet exhaust for a pretty annoying flowmaster? This thing has been getting on my nerves since I bought the truck

    Does anyone happen to know how much resistance there is supposed to be for the abs sensors on a 2000+ toyota truck, specifically a tundra? I destroyed one line, and while i have abs disabled anyways, i need to bleed the ABS unit to rid me of these mushy brakes. Am either going to re wire the original sensor (but a little worried about keeping the resistance correct), or wire in a resistor to trick it into thinking the sensor is working....
    Any input is appreciated... might also just jump the ABS relay to put power to it, then momentarily ground it to cycle the solenoids. Just trying to get the fucking air out of this pedal... Already vaccumn bled all the brakes and PV

    I think I'm having the same problem with my t4r... Interested in your solution. Didn't know the ABS unit needed bleeding :/
