Rockers get adjusted when warm not cold. Your gonna have to go in a readjust them after a while anyway. Doubt they are too tight to cause issues. Haven't been following to close to your thread, but you just rebuilt that right?

Bolted the rear bumper on in preparation for the trail this weekend. Its still not finished but I figured I might need it as a jacking point if I get stuck. I also fabbed up a switch for some lights that I have layin around. I put it on the panel on the right side of the cluster bezel. I tried to take a pic before it got dark but it didnt really come out. Will post up some pics tomorrow.

Can you join us for wheeling and camping this weekend Zach (or any other Colorado guys)?
We are heading up the Middle St. Vrain trail just past the Camp Dick campground on Saturday Morning. It is my favorite camping spot.

Sounds like there is a group from my other forum that are going to Bill Moore. Tacomaworld.com. You might meet up with them at some point.

I changed the wording of my last post. I meant that you might meet up with them, or see them passing by. Probably all 2nd gen Tacomas. I will only be up in the MSV/CF area.
