Looks pretty! Those 2.5 CDC rears make my 2.0 look like a joke. lol Did they give you a spanner wrench? I have if you need

 

Already Eyeing the TC's... And I'm not sure of what the Truckfest is???

Bought the Spanner wrench...thanks though!

 

Got me thinking of my setup...

 

Man.... suspension is turning like electronics, always better the next year.
I almost went with the Icon stage 4 but, back then they didn't have a 2.5 rear or adjustable compression for the coilovers. B-E-A U...tiful!!

 

Crappy t5i? Best of the rebel lineup and that flash?? Not cheap haha

 

I used to be a professional I carried everything from Hasselblads to 1DS mark II. Even before there was digital, I had a Canon 1n RS
The digital rebel has come a long way tho.

 

Now im second guessing bilsteins.

 

Nothing wrong with em, I'm on my 4th pair and will continue to use em, besides those Icons

 

If you mark your alignment as it is now, you could pull it all apart and get it pretty close going back in. Found the balljoints for $30 on Amazon. Almost willing to bet you could turn that $900+ job into under $200..just have to down the truck for a day or 2.

 

So your saying order the ball joints, give you my LCAs, new ball joints, and $200, and I get some installed ball joints done?? Awesome.. I'll order tomorrow.. lol..

Started looking at the dirt king LCAs. Not sure about quality over TCs, but they seem to get some good approval, plus are cheaper than the TCs. I think they are a bit better looking as well.

 

I drive around at night with only my fog lights on cause that's all the light I need. A cop just pulled me over on the H1 by punahou cause he said my headlights are supposed to be on too. Luckily he let me go... Anybody else get hassled for just running their fogs? This is the first time in 2 years! I thought it only needed to be 2 forward facing lights. Didn't know that it mattered if it was top or bottoms. Lol

 

Bwahahaha!

Oh man, I can't afford a drive in your truck!

I probably won't be too far behind

$900 is a little high for new UCA's, but its in the ball park. And might could sell the old pair for $100 to someone willing to press in ball joints.

Sometimes Ivan, I really don't like to like you

Yep it matters I've seen people get ticketed for that. Legally it has to do with the power of the light, beam pattern, and beam height. But they also have specs for how high and how low the main beams have to be from the ground.

But yeah, technically if your vehicle is equipped with low beam headlights (which are required by law) then you have to run them when it is dark enough to do so. And they always have to be 100% functional; i.s. no burnt out bulbs.

 

Yeah just gonah stick with the 11" travel bilstein 5125s an 5100s upfront. Just dont no what coils to run.

 

I wish upon having a full frame. 6D at least

 

Ome 885 with top plate

 

I'm at Servco leeward and no SR's or 4 runners on the lot. On another note the silver color changed it's a little darker in color. Looks good.

 

as long as you don't need new cam bolts, that's where i'd ballpark it.

might be worth while to get new cam bolts and new LCA bushings too, the oem ones kind of suck to work with when they go bad.

and if feeling adventurous, gusset the spindle.

the might-as-well list always gets me into trouble

 

To much lift. Going 4" maxtrac spindles. Debating on keeping stock coils an setting the 5100s at .85.

 

Maxtrac Spindles + stock coils @ 1.75" + 1/4" top plate = 6.25" lift up front and a ride like OEM

 

We'll see...
