    I am cool with the "dew" or white. I do not want a dark colored vehicle for again for a while.

    I figured it was LT instead of SAS since your harder wheeling days are behind you :D

    got some shiny new parts put on Betty over the weekend...
    [​IMG]

    finally got it aligned today and had a chance to stretch out the new legs...
    [​IMG]

    firewall clearance wheel straight

    and locked

    the bump was just starting to touch at that spot, so it has more uptravel left in it...

    2" TC Expo kit with TC Spec Kings with adjusters. 1.25" spidertrax in the back for spacers (don't think i need the 2" since the dynatrac appears to be slightly wider than the factory track width, about .25"-.5" off right now front wider than rear).

    all parts ordered through Toytec.. once again helping me bring Betty to the next level.. and CVJ for the quick turn around on axles :cheers:

    still have to weld in the limit strap mounts, shock hoop and rear hanger brace. that will be done end of January...

    next up is to get @tdubd set up! :headbang:

    it's been on my mind for a long time... stars aligned for this to come together when it did. and peer pressure finally got to me to just pull the trigger!

    setup was great before.. but this should definitely help out on our trips smoothing out those long days behind the wheel

    I'm curious how much the setup cost you. PM if you want to share. No big deal if not.

    Hell yeah! Mind if I ask where you got the alignment done?

    Just replaced my bushings and unis (after 52k)and replaced the weird cam bolts with OEM.

    i bring mine to stevinson west.. Jace normally does all of my alignments.. today Keith had to. Cameron and Tanner are also solid choices for an alignment there.. all of them understand how to setup alignments for lifted trucks that need special knowledge to get them right.

    Awesome. Thank you
    I called over there recently and the service advisor must’ve been… brand new. Started talking about Asbury Motors or whoever. Hope all those fellas are getting treated well during the transition

    So far it sounds like the transition is treating them well... no major shifts causing issues in the back.

    Little of this and a little of that
    Curious, did the CV axles come from toytec also? Couldn't find any completed CVs on their site.
