    Everyone knocks blocks but on my old setup I loved it wayyyyyyy better than the add a leaf I had...I'd even say it was a better ride than my current leaf pack.

    With the add a leaf I got BAD axle wrap and even worse leaf squeaking than normal and a horrible harsh ride

    With the blocks I got no axle wrap and no squeaking after pb blaster spray and a really good smooth ride

    With the current leaf pack no axle wrap, no squeak and kinda harsh ride quality

    SWANKS instead of a new lift to get you to 6 inches, i'll sell you my stock suspension and tires if you want dirt cheap, you sell your current set up while riding around on a stock suspension. Then you do a 4wheel drive conversion and join us on wheeling trips for gods sake.

    He ain't about that life. The rear locker provides him with sufficient traction to get over the curbs at walmart.

    I don't know if any of y'all know, but I actually started collecting parts to convert my '07 prerunner. I hope I will have money to regear by the end of the year.

    Okay so i'm actually getting pretty annoyed. My passenger side headlight is still leaking after putting silicon inside and outside of the headlight. I feel that it's not the lens and that it's a tight seal.
    What else could it possibly be? I don't know what to look for. :confused:

    Just purchased my first taco on tuesday, '03 DCSB 4x4 TRD Offroad. Glad to see there are so many members around NC. My truck is stock currently, minus the grey wire mod I did last night (not sure if that counts as not stock). Hoping to get some things done to my truck, but need to keep the MPG as close to where it is since it is my daily driver. Was hoping to connect with some members around the Raleigh area (posted in the raliegh thread). May need some pointers to help show me how to turn a wrench. I have done very limited things to my last vehicle, so most work on the truck other than simple bolt on mods will be difficult for me.

    Glad to have joined TW, and hope to get my truck mods moving along sooner than later.

    Wanting to keep stock mpgs is going to restrict what you can do. Any increase in tire size or lift will affect the mpgs you get
