Tried to start the red truck. It didn't want to. Made some more progress on the gauge pod.

So did you buy a 110 welder or install 220 in the garage? Welds look great!

110v. Thanks.

It was supposed to be $118. But the dipshit girl didn't take the cost out for the coupon, I had to pay $218. Now I've got to call on Monday and get my money back.

New OEM windshields from Toyota are $347! :eek: but the one I got is made by an American company and is "supposedly" better quality.

Better? I used to run an OE division of a Aftermarket company - I used to hate hearing the aftermarket claim of "Meets or exceeds manufacturer requirements." In 90% of the cases they have no effen clue what the requirement was!!!

Gave the 4runner a front end alignment and bath today

For me it wasn't as good.

At Firestone getting an alignment. My toolbox popped open on the freeway and I pulled over to close it. I hopped a curb to get further away from traffic. When I hopped back in the truck, I realized my steering wheel was pointing to the passenger door meaning my alignment was Fucked.

Wish I knew how to align it. Also wished there was a piece of property by where I live that's level to do the alignment on. Every slab over here is f*cked because of the soil and being below sea level. lol

Your cams loose or did you hit that curb with speed? My alignment only goes 'out' when I whack stuff hard like this past weekend. My steering wheel is currently 1/4 turn off lol At least its pulling me into the side of the road instead of the median.

I was thinking about cranking up my CO's before I go in this time to offset any lift I get out back when I swap out the leafs and do the shackle flip. Who knows... I do know I need to do it quick because I only have 5k on my tires.

Yeah this isn't the first time I've bumped it out of alignment. Probably won't be the last either. I didn't hit the curb that hard or fast. But I've never had it be out this bad before. It took two hands to keep it on the road.

If you look at the time that many of us have spent in those establishments - we could educate ourselves in a Masters in alignment. I'm sure you could find one but it's even better when it's your driveway! :)

Looks like the Taco ate another R&P. Pulled the DS last night and you can hear the rear end "chunking" when you back up. Just called ECGS this morning, awaiting the return call.
