Installed new Bilstein 5100 shocks and OME 880 springs last night. I got just over 2.5 inch lift up front which is amazing cause the springs are rated to be a 1-1.5 inch lift. My factory coil overs must have been worse than I thought! I'm getting the alignment tomorrow but it already is a...

My dads old station wagon spent as much time off road while camping when I was a kid then some of these guys now days with the top brands and expensive upgrades...

Replaced the factory rear shocks on my 04 Tacoma with new Bilstein 4600's. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to swap out the front shocks with the new Bilstein 5100's!

It just started cooling down here in coastal Carolina area. It's been in low 80's for the last few days and I'm loving it! Just last week we were in low 90's with heat index of 110 so I'm more than ready for cooler whether!

Since the noise is more frequent now, had the wife turn the wheels left and right a bunch while I was under the truck to investigate the noise. Still can't locate exact component but its either the lower ball joint (most likely), or tie rod end on the driver side... can't tell since they're...

Checked the torque on all front suspension components. Got an alignment a month ago and within the last week something on the driver side makes a loud pop whenever turning at a low speed. Gonna clean up and take a test drive later, when the clunk happens I don't feel it in the gas or brake. I...

Yeah, noticed the spelling error after posting but figured the heck with it... shots fired, to late to pull it back now!

Just some light trail driving with my 2wd Tacoma. I don't venture to deep but I'm sure it saves me some money in the end. One of these days I'll give it a small lift with larger all terrain tires and throw on a wench.

Same for me, I have an 04 Prerunner and I love it. Definitely wish I woulda went the 4x4 route now days but then again, since its a daily driver its probably better that I didn't cause I would have definitely broke something by now trying to head deeper in the trails.

Been busy lately as an "essential personnel" needed to check out a few new trails with the kids to give us all a break.

No idea, took it when I was in Norway.

No kidding, I grew up in Cantonment. Enlisted in 06, mainly been stationed at Lejeune, waiting for orders now trying to go back to Japan. Aside from deployments, Japan is the only place I've been outside of Lejeune and the whole family wants to get back.

Yeah that sucks! I'm already planning to replace the cam bolts and bushings in the next year or so when I replace the steering rack. I've seen a few videos already where they have to cut the control arm bolts off cause they are warped to much to pull out. Same with the leaf spring bolts.

What year was this that you watched the training event? I was on the one back in 2012, pretty fun but didn't enjoy being on ship for 3 weeks with nothing to do leading up to the beach landing. I fish Onslow beach a lot being stationed here and all, its not as good as back home in the gulf...

Yeah I've checked those out, one of these years I'll do a small lift set up and most likely go with those UCA's being as they'er among the cheaper set ups.

Yeah they only did toe for me as well. He didn't say they were seized, said they were rusted and that he could try to turn them but he couldn't guarantee they wouldn't break and wasn't sure if he could get replacement bolts that day. I inquired as to the rust issue as I mentioned on original...

Not quite today, but earlier this week just haven't had time to post until now. Replaced all ball joints, tie rods, and did a little bit of cleaning. The upper ball joints had to be pressed in, I rented a kit from the local auto store that all the forums and online videos said to use... either...

Yeah I use that stuff in the lawn mower during winter but I've never tried to store fuel in containers before. Might have to start going this route myself.
