    I'll get there someday. I feel I have a few more years of wrenching left....

    I'll get there someday. I got home and had some nacho cheese Doritos and a glazer donut.

    I'm actually not too sore. A little stiff in some spots but nothing serious.
    Feels good to get the work done and those trucks up. Looking at a stock tacoma, now. They look sad and depressed.

    Almost makes me want to toss in my UCA's. ( I forgot to bring them, so Dan was unable to install them. ;) )

    It is fun to see the transformation over time that our vehicles have gone through.
    My first outing with this group was at the pipeline. My truck was totally stock with street tires. After being able to keep up with everyone like that, I decided to just keep it stock since it was clearly quite capable as it sat. That decision sure saved me a ton of cash!




    Or not.

    I took an Alleve when I got home, did some stretching, and my back feels great this morning. The knees and hips are a different story, they're pretty sore...and my left calf (o_O), not sure what that's about. Must be getting old.

    Getting old isn't for pussies, I'm trying to put it off (unsuccessfully at times) as long as I can.

    It's gotta give you a good felling knowing that you installed a new suspension.


    Old age is just a state of mind.

    Like the saying goes: Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

    Hey, you turned wrenches quite a bit...kept things moving quite well. We got all 4 corners of your truck done in probably the same time it took to do my rear springs last year.

    After the drive home...impressions?
