I recognized that too, i wonder if they can be flipped?

Yeah Doanlaw and I are gonna get the tools together, and if we pretend to like his borther's ranger enough, he may help as well

You guys have fun this weekend, we may need to exchange #'s so we can help answer (read: ask) questions while we all have these puppy's apart. hehe.

We'll be careful with the XREAS - if something breaks, at leats its not my runner

Biff - I agree, he should be careful, but I'm wondering, what the hell are the sensors you are speaking of? Maybe it's just because I have small girlish wrists that I didn't find it hard to avoid pushing on other things. I dunno.

Also ... I guess this means I should get to putting my writeup together just in case anyone gets stuck this weekend.

4route, we would be forever grateful We will most likely do mine first (NON -XREAS) Although it's up to doanlaw as his kit may arrive sooner....

Either way all the basics will help. I am compiling everyones info from this board on this lift and putting it together as ref.

I know one thing, I'll have the lamest shoes out of all the lifted 4th gens until I get more cash... Michelin's, stock with sr5 wheels. lol Yuck.

To tell you the truth I don't know myself. Aparently the dealer changed there prognosis of the lights that I got when I finished my lift. Turns out it was not a busted ABS light, but a busted Speed Sensor. Trying to figure out how they came up with that. Was told they would order a new Speed Sensor.

SD4Runner - don't feel too bad, I'm in the same boat - I have my stock Limited wheels (but my 4runner is a sport edition) with Michelins ...

Send me a PM if you want my cell # as well, I'm more than happy to help.

Biff - Whatever it was then, I'm glad it got repaired! I have yet to take mine in for an alignment and a new boot. I suppose I'll do it next week, it's just rough when I need my truck.

No Xreas, the install should be a cake walk. Lance, installed his rear spacers within an hour. With no Xreas, the fronts will be an easy install.

HEHE yeah $$$ woo hoo! Unfortunately, I think these wrenchathons are geared more towards helping eachother out and getting to know a few more friends that are just as passionate as myself in modding our trucks.

So I'm cool w/ the grub n all Just make sure ya feed us well and we will come!

Plus I think once we start charging, we'll be liable for any fubar messups I don't mind breaking my own truck but not someone else's pride and joy.

I think these wrenchathons should have some minimum requirements though:
> grub....
> women?( hehe just had to throw that in there - then again I don't think we'll get any work done! hahaha).
> must be present at the next offroading venue

Victor: Can you bring your tools (I think we'll need a few from your set.) Don't forget to add that crow bar like thing that we used on my rear shocks.

Timber: I'll bring whatever tools and jacks/stands I have so hopefully we'll be all covered. I think between Victor and I we should have everything we need to do the install.

Cya all saturday 9am in Sab Gabriel
