    Mine is lifted 3" higher than stock and the 4x4 is probably higher than the 4x2 stock since it runs 245/75/16 tires.

    No, for some reason my speedometer is almost dead on now. I'm not sure if the previous owner did anything to correct for the 285/75/16 tires but the 305/65/17 are the same height as the 285's were. Have you ever checked your speedometer against speed traps? I think stock they are actually reading high which means you are going slower than you think. Going to the 235's will change it by a bit (it will read lower), but it may actually correct it if it's reading high right now.

    Do you have 225/70/15 or 215/70/15 right now? The 215's are the stock size.

    From January 2009 to the summer of 2010, I was in a group for young adults with Aspergers Syndrome and PDD-NOS, called The Coffeehouse Center of Bucks County; Why I left is a story for another day (and another thread)...

    I brought Tony and a sizeable supply of live crickets in one time, and one of the two women who ran the group happened to be watching when I filmed a feeding; This video is unfortunately long gone, but if you listen closely you can here her groaning in a combination of disgust and fear in the background! :rofl:

    I am painting a cabinet in the garage, the white paint wasn't covering to my liking so l decided to dust it with some silver for a marbled look and it turned out pretty damn good.

    Just thought of this; One way to tell if a unit is a heat pump or a straight-cool A/C is to look at the fan grille...

    Unless it’s located a in salty environment (like a beach house), a straight-cool unit will not have rust like this heat pump at my work! The rust is caused by steam from defrost cycles during the winter...

    My former coworker from the detail shop has a 2017 DCSB TRD Sport 4x4 6-speed that he bought new; Approximately 14,500 miles on it at the moment!
