    Toytec provides a spring lift for the TRD Pro. No blocks. You have to replace the factory springs (fox) with their 700lbs springs and that will give you the full lift (only for the front coilovers). I thought about going that route because it's pretty cheap....just dangerous as hell to compress the spring!

    That's not an easy fix, but maybe you can tape off around the third brake light and use a gasket maker to seal it off in place without having to move anything. That's what I did with my MESO third brake light and it works very well.

    rent a spring compressor or ask a shop to do it for you, id rather pay a few bucks then do it wrong and lose a finger or an eye.

    That's the truth!! I've seen a spring pop out of the "rental" ones and it was scary as heck to see how much energy came off it. Luckily no one was hurt, but the guy doing it wasn't having it after that.....went to a shop with a big press to do it!

    I can respect that Fritos passion…but when you’ve had VT cream from the teat of the cow in Waterbury…

    Are you using an aftermarket garnish? My friend was running an aftermarket one and had the same problem. He bought a different aftermarket one and it worked fine. Might be a bad garnish

    Measured its height from ground to tallest rigid point (ignored height of GMRS antenna)

    92-5/8" (8'-8 5/8") at full tire pressure. Phew.

    My Grille and aftermarket garnish came from Yotaverse, should I have purchased the grille somewhere else?
    I'm ok if I have to purchase another grille that could be a better quality grille. Suggestions?

    Put on a coat of the poor man’s ceramic coat per the direction of the boss. He runs a tight ship.
