    Better than the southern squat right?
    Yeah I’m unloaded right now, but I’m getting used to it and it looks more and more normal everyday.
    Here’s from last night in some more VIP parking zones

    Not quite blown, but the sucker knocks. Has 2 small dents but that’s about it. Very happy with how cheap I got it, shipping was only $800 to get it up here from Arizona

    I mean ... knocking wouldn't bother me, it's probably lack of oil uptake. Before you yoink it, get some kerosene, drain half the oil, refill same amount w/kerosene, and idle it at 1.5k - 2k RPM for an hour, or two. It'll desludge and break up any big bits. My grandfather used to use kerosene in this way all the time. Well-documented as a safe practice online. I know, I know, it's the internet... but ...

    warning: this post contains an unpopular opinion
    I know I'm the minority on this, but I think if not perfectly level, then I'd rather be a bit higher in front than back. :crapstorm:
    I'm not talkin about the stupid style with the rear slammed and a 6 inch lift in the front either. Talkin bout just an inch, maybe two, like a prerunner/trophy truck setup

    It's ok.

    We all know your opinion is suspect now, given your 2nd gen ownership.

    couldnt agree more! but the slight rake in the front isnt bad at all either. Especially when you load the rear and level out. But im with you 100 percent on your statement

    You sir, are incorrect. Perhaps mistaking me for the welder from Canuckistan. He not only bought a turd, but ditched his 1st gen. There are several 1st genners that are also turd herders, but I am not one of them. "1stGen4Life"

    But he's doing some frankenstein stuff, transplanting his supercharged 4.7 from his 1st gen - into a turd roller. Impressive next-level stuff gets a pass. And how could you mistake me for another? I have your gears in my rear end....:notsure::rofl:

    Lack of sleep. Insomnia gets me every so often.

    Hell yeah, those are my favorite toyota 6 lugs ever made. And there aren't an abundance of them either, which makes them even cooler.

    Damn. Their MC adapters are 1/2 the cost of the other maker! Now I’m more motivated to buy one. Glad I returned the Motive pump. I’ve read others say their universal adapter was useless.

    Just to add getting a little pressure to put it on the market to help set our finances for retirement in ~5 years. Selective hearing is in play (full-force) here...

    I mean, you missed the boat on that one. Had you sold it a year ago you probably could've gotten 20-30% more.

    If you do list, I'd drop it on Bring A Trailer.
