    It's been quiet in here the last couple days, I think they are trying to get some of us to think there is life outside of here!

    It isn't cold enough...or warm enough...to do anything fun.

    Edit: I don't have a life. That's how I found all of you! :rofl:

    I've been off all week and while I have been more active here I have been trying to stay off the 'puter and limit the phone usage.

    Spent some time getting out and taking photos in an attempt to get back into a creative mindset.

    Also have been spending some time assembling Legos.
    My son got me a 1400+ piece F1 car that I'm about halfway through. When it's finished it will be over 24" long

    Urban landscapes and sunrises are my thing. Photographing off road Toyota adventures is just a side hustle :rofl:

    I hear that.
    Went from '09 to '13 without a cellphone.
    Now it's tough to put it down. With everything from 24/7 trading to 85% of my biological memory being stored online. lol
    If you've seen any of my fishing posts I'm in my element.
    Nobody around for miles.
    Getting my truck beefed up to extend those miles deeper is what brought me here.

    Thanks. I took some inspiration for that shot from another local photographer and played with it a slightly different way. It was fun.

    Phase 1:
    For a couple hundred I can AAL the rear and get rid of the experimental blocks. There's plenty of miles left on the stock springs and an aal HAS to ride better than blocks.
    Rear done, for now. ;)
    Phase 2:
    Made arrangements with @Shellshock to snag those mobtown sliders.
    Phase 3:
    Ride like that awhile before tossing some Dobinson coilovers in. (because most importantly, I can get them in yellow/black to match the OME shocks. :D)
    I do appreciate all the help and input.
    You all might shake me by the ankles but it saves in the long run.

    Phase 4: I don't think that far ahead.

    AAl's are fine. I ran like that for several years; eventually though, the factory noodles will make you crazy. I would suggest a good bump stop as well (now.) Easy to install (they are not real expensive and you will have things apart already) and they will make things much more tolerable until you get proper springs under there. I highly recommend Archive Garage bumps.

    I have sumo springs for rear bumps atm. They help a lot and make a noticeable difference.
    I would think doing the same/similar up front would help the extra roll from removing sway bar. Being as they're compressible and all.

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Bonus you can do a u-bolt flip while you're installing bump stops.

    Ahead of the curve.

    Phase 4: beer

    Flip kit has been in/out/saved for later multiple times already. lol

    Beer for phase 4.
    Including beer in phases 1 thru 3 is how one ends up with extra and missing bolts. :)
