    For me it was pretty simple but I've done similar jobs before. Just do one side at a time so you can reference the other and back the adjuster all the way back so it's easier to get the big return spring off. There are a few good videos on YouTube aswell.

    Washed and buffed the driver side, took some of the light pinstripes out, made the tree scuff a little less visible. thanks @04yota for the buffer :D
    just need to do the passenger side tomorrow

    With the 1JZ and them 4.10s, you'll be hauling plenty of ass. Sounds fun as hell.
    $30-$40 is new? Goddamn, man. That's one hell of a connection. I don't even know how anyone could get tires that cheap, even distributors, but hell if you can then do it until they stop letting you.
    Oh damn your truck was lifted before and wheeled? I honestly would never have guessed that. Nice to know it's seen a variety of shit though. But yeah open diff and 2WD is not a very good mix. Fine for dirt roads, but if you wanna do any of the rocky stuff in North NJ or PA, not gonna work out so well. But turning it into a fun street truck is a great idea. The S-Runner and X-Runners are pretty neat. There's one X-Runner I see near my sometimes. Would love to take it for a spin. I like to drive my truck like it is a street truck sometimes...

    Mine were noisy... had .5mm left on it. Had no time so toyota did it for 600 with new wheel cylinders and I did my fronts and they bled it again free. Was not a terrible deal. But now I have brakes. I need to do rotors up front though

    I hate drum brakes. Ours are easy to do but had no time to do them.

    Yeah Im not sure... i need to do some drawings and really plan this thing out. I want to do a kitchen type set up like teardrop trailers have ill be putting a generator on it propane tank and lots of other shit. I don't think this trailer will be "done" for a long time but it WILL be set up enough to use for camping by february.

    Thats Navy gray CG boats are black or white! Would not be bad but I don't think itd be all that appealing to the eye. I am kinda leaning towards a lighter color so it doesn't get hot as fuck in the sunlight.

    @planters15 was tossing that idea up too but I feel like it might be too much.

    TOOO MANNYYYYY DECISIONSSSS

    Fronts are super easy, I my mechanic quoted me $200 for rear brakes and new shoes, which might be worth it for time's sake haha
