    That's a pretty good price and the description cracks me up. If my eventual plan wasn't to get rid of the OEM bed I'd bite. What fox stuff and UCAs you looking at?

    You don't have lift in the rear? Or is there a reason for 0-1.5 shocks? But yea it's pricey, spent about $2500 after my refresh. Of course most of the cost was the front Fox 2.5 DSC and I "cheaped" out for the rear. Stuck with 2.0 non adjustable 2-3". I really just needed the rear shocks to keep me on the road. Fingers crossed in about 3 years I'll be able to move forward with my actual plans on the truck.

    Working to make the truck a straight toy. I gotta work on getting a family ride for the wife so I can steal her 4Runner as a daily. I want to link the rear, still torn on the front.

    Idk about her 4Runner being Gucci lol it’s a 2013 SR5. Both our vehicles have been paid off for a bit and the family doesn’t fit comfortably in the Runner. Once we get her another car I can afford to have the truck out of commission. We’ll see how long that takes since we got house projects to do too. That’s why I’m hoping 3 years, I’ll retire from the Air Force and the baby will be in school and she can go back to work.

    Thank you as well. I feel you on being tired, my career is like a shitty rollercoaster. By the time I realized I wanted to get off I was too close to the finish. I just have my fingers crossed they don't try to PCS me again. Wife and I love our house plus Vegas aka 9th island is a lot cheaper than moving back to Hawaii.

    It got rid of any play , tolerance is a lot tighter . I would assume it helps the life of the axle , it’s not loose or wobbling , suppose to stop vibrations . I’m texting as I’m driving and about to jump on the freeway . See if I feel a difference .

    Hey all... just a quick shout out to Wreckdit for alignment work...

    I took my truck to Wreckdit because I thought it was out of alignment after a somewhat unpleasant experience with Rogue where I recently had a new suspension, small lift, UCA, and AAL installed. The experience did not leave me with a positive vibe or willingness to return. I've had less than 3000 mi on the new suspension, and pretty quickly my truck started pulling to the right on the highway. Given the vibe I got at Rogue, I wanted to go to a different shop to get the alignment checked. Work has been crazy so it took a minute to get the truck in...

    What a difference in shops! Wreckedit not only did a very thorough inspection of my truck, including a test drive, but they corrected the issue quickly and provided a very detailed explanation. I'm far from an expert on these things. Mike, the tech, explained things without being condescending or making me feel like I'm an idiot for asking questions like the other shop did. He communicated to me from a place of teaching, which was just so wonderful. He did say the other shop did a great job on the install, they just missed a slight adjustment to the caster which resulted in the pulling to the right.

    They were also super easy to schedule with and had great communications. I totally enjoyed hanging out with one of the owners while I waited too! Kristen is amazing. I noticed the way they handled other customers too - very professional and easygoing, not arrogant. If you need mods or alignment work, you might give them a call or a look.

    Good timing, I was popping in here to ask about a shop for a potential regear of my 4 banger.

    I'd say hit up my buddy Alex at BattleBorn Offroad. At least to get a quote from them.

    The front diff is a clamshell style. The rear is a 3rd member. You only need to replace the front driver bushing.

    Another great spot for alignment is Arrow Alignment. Usually pretty busy, so make an appointment. Nice seeing all these new Vegas peeps in here.
