    No...more....12v...please.....ugh. Hooked up my left and right side camp lights, the Diode Dynamic SS2s. The rear bumper lights are SS2 Flush Mounts. They turn on when in reverse and on a separate circuit through the Auxbeam switches (reverse lights turn on as well). When my running lights are on, they have a red backlight. I'll have to cut holes in my Coastal rear bumper, once that comes. The front Coastal (full headlight hoop) will get 2 amber pods, 2 white pods and the big ass ARB Solis 21s (1 spot 1 fog combo). Hopefully they'll both ship soon. I hate 12v.

    Did I mention yesterday I ordered the wrong spindles from Fr33lance Fab?????? Still kicking myself in the ass. They get delivered tomorrow. Hopefully they'll let me return them. I already ordered the correct ones. Will have to eat about $200+ in shipping charges....fml. Venting.

    Re-sell local. There are a LOT of 1Gt owners within an hour or two.

    Hopefully you fully snapped down and tugged on the knock sensor harnesses. If you start popping P0325-P0328 or whatever, you'll know what's up.

    I think it's interesting seeing all the people with Eibach springs on their Kings. I just have whatever length the extended travel Kings with 700lb coils came with. Seems to work fine enough. Plus I like blue.

    Man, we might have to get up for lunch or something, even if I'm not a buyer for your ATSs. I'm just north of Dallas. I'm sure you'd pass right by me on your trip.

    You get the option but 650 is what was recommended when I got mine. Had to upgrade when I knew better

    That makes sense, I see a majority running the 650# and those that have upgraded usually have the silver eibach springs

    Yeah you pick between OEM or extended travel and 650 or 700 pound coils when you order em.

    "06 AC cool" will do just fine.

    It's the inner boots that tend to have the issue and should be looked at for continual rib contact.

    I’ve already ordered replacement boot kit from Toyota and Porsche boots for the inner boot. I wanna be prepared to reboot them the right way when they give out.

    I pull the hood latch off when I pull the manifold. Learned that the first time.

    Just use heavier shorter springs if you can. The coilovers for the Vic are 650# springs up front. Heavier springs help resist body roll.

    Yeah but who makes those for these trucks? I only know of OEM, OEM-type aftermarket, and lift springs. I been thinking about swapping in 5100's and convincing Casey to trade me his low mileage OEM coils.

    I will say that bumps are much smoother now with one end link removed.
