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.

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.

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
