Welcome back. We were going to practice but Hoss assured me that he had plenty of Youtube training and was fully qualified to do it, 
He did a great job actually, it was actually pretty simple with the tool and the difference is huge. I am glad I went with cheap Federal tires because I have scraped these up pretty good. I did some grinding and some filing (thanks Houstonrx8er!) and they are pretty good now.
I found that putting the front coilovers at full stiff made a big difference and I should have done that first because my drivers side front tire hit the corner of the corner light and got a pretty good groove cut into the tread. I just need to get the rear adjuster I got from Stance on and set the rears at full stiff and I'll be good I think. I found some twisties out near Marion after dropping the kids off and it handled really well and only rubbed in the fender liner in the rear a bit.
I will get the rears set to stiff and then let the tires "self clearance" for a bit before flipping them so you can see the superficial damage

I swear if someone gets those white 18x9.5+27 wheels I'll throw a fit... In other news, tonight was Red Bull induced front bumper removal brought on by a three day weekend. Pics to follow tomorrow. I wish I lived/worked on the EAST side of San An...

Hey guys hows it been going? Got a huge question, anyone running a Mishimoto Rad with the Racing Beat Intake? If so did you have issues with the reinstall of the Racing Beat Intake box???

Well after all that, they turned out 100x better than I expected. Not nearly as hard as the 2 sets of Tacoma lights I did in the past. It really does change the look of the car. Better pics once I wash/wax her, and finish restoring the headlight covers.
Time to take a shower, I smell like a dog.
