    Hey Im a good sportsman.... Im even giving him a post right now. I was leading on 3 catagories: Referrals, Post, and Views. I will give him the post win, but I dont think he will beat my 6 to 1 on referrals and Im still ahead on views... Technically speaking 2 out of 3 still wins in my book. :D

    Thanks brother but in all reality a nice extang cover would finish her off nicely. :D Haha. I'm liking the look as well. I wasn't sure about some of these mods but the more I see it the more I'm falling in love all over again. If only I could do something to the rear. Hmmm. :confused:

    hahaha well im taking great care of it! I think everything you've done to your truck has benefited it in looks or functionality.
    Whats wrong with the rear?

    Something different like debadging the PreRunner, V6 and SR5 only. Maybe installing the black lip spoiler you see on X-Runners. I don't know. As of now, it looks stock in the back. Nothings engraved in stone. Just thinking.

    Got the Bilsteins installed today and an alignment done all for $129 at Courtney Tire in Chula Vista. Unfortunately, they left lowered the Bilsteins from the 2.5 to I think the lowest setting because I failed to tell them to remove the spacer kit. Wow, was I greatly disappointed. However the ride was smooth as a baby's butt and I could already tell the difference. I'll probably have them remove the spacer kit tomorrow and extend the Bilsteins to the highest setting again.
    In your opinion, is there a negative side to leaving the spacer kit on? Besides having an underperforming struct in the front, why should I go back if the ride quality is good? I don't know about off-roading it yet.

    Youve seen the way my truck sits, and it has no spacer - just 5100's set at 2.5 and my tires are smaller at 245 75 16's. I think the spacer would be nice - but then you may have a bit of a socal lean goin on... Do you have an AAL in the rear? I forget...

    Yes in deed tony. Did you see my truck at the tire shop? I was wondering how you could recognize me without the truck. :D haha. In any event, we'll be neighbors and I'm sure I'll see you around.

    it did for me. When i did my 5100s in the front we set them at 2.5 and NO AAL in the rear which was a problem (headlamps shining in people's faces!) so after the AAL it leveled it out/raised it just enough. Ride quality is either the same or better than before. (i cant say exactly considering my tires right now are SHOT.. but yeah..) I'd say go all out. I love it

    They were the ones installing the Bilstein 5100's and doing my alignment. I've been going there ever since I started to drive. I usually go there for tire service as well even though discount might be a little bit cheaper. Courtney will match. So... back to the bar thing. Drinking at 2pm in the afternoon? NICE! :D Welcome to San Diego man.

    Ouch! At first I thought it was the body, but after noticing you had the steps on your truck in the second pic, I realized it was the step that's dented. :D
