    You suck. We don't even have any degrees right now. It's 0 out.

    Your truck looks really good. That is the best color.

    Uhhh, that would be a negatory! My wife and I have thought about moving somewhere back east, but AZ has such nice weather 8 months out of the year.

    Yeah. I have a friend that moved to Phoenix for a "year" when he transferred jobs... That was 15 years ago. He is still there.

    My truck? It's a stock silver 08 4x4 quad cab. I think everyone knows what that looks like :).

    I redid the entire stereo. That's it.

    How does your truck ride with the lift and tires? I had a rancho kit and 35s on my 04 1/2 f150 but am reluctant to lift the Tacoma as I hear they are prone to vibrations.

    With the stage 2 the ride is great!! My wife was hesitant to let me do the lift based on we had a 4Runner with a 4" lift and 33's (ride was horrible). This is about stock feeling. Tires are not that loud either, however the exhaust kind of drowns most things out, LOL!

    Yeah really, what.... 100-128 degrees in the summer? Probably in the shade? But hey, it's "dry heat" right? :D

    I never got that whole "dry heat" thing. 120 degrees is hot as balls weather the humidity is 1% or 80%.

    nice looking truck! did you look at the Fabtech lift at all? if so, why'd you choose the Pro-Comp? (just curious)

    i want to get a lift as well, and was set on the Fabtech, but after seeing your truck, i guess i have a decision to make.

    I think that it is all personal preference, but as I was looking more and more into the two Fabtech was having problem with their shocks and people were having to wait for replacements. I have never heard anything like this for Pro-Comp. Also talking to the dealerships, they were all saying that they only use Pro-Comp. Some like the way the Fabtech drop bracket arches up. I just went with the one that I thought was better. I am sure that they both ride about the same.

    I can vouch for ProComps customer service. When I had my 04 1/4 f150, I got a set of ladder bars to help out with the axle wrap. I ordered them from Summit Racing but when I received the package, I was missing one of the mounting bearings (sleeves). I called procomp and they sent one out next day no questions asked. They didnt even need proof that I even had the kit.

    Stuff happens, which is fine, but its refreshing to be able to call a company, have someone answer the phone and is able to help. The ladder bars were of excellent quality too. If I ever lift my truck im going procomp
