    honestly i was going to hunt for some lexus seats or avalon seats.

    but to this day the most comfortable seat to be is my tacomas buckets. too small for tundra though.

    something like a GS350 or Ls460 seat would be wonderful. but the arm rest is a serious issue.

    unless i take the seat covers off and figure out how to fit the stock arm rests onto the new seat frames.. but damn that would be an expensive fuck up if it didnt turn out right

    It's amazing how much rated and lead free fittings add up to. Good thing I did great on the tanks, the plumbing cost is brutal. I am attempting some complex stuff for what was only on-board air. But, oof.

    It was two dudes playing and having fun with a dildo in the river, not sure how to explain it any further. If you're reading this wrong, get your mind out of the gutter.

    Ive actually been watching the Waterflow website for Grandfalls and waiting for it to get flowing good. When it does im probably gonna be trying to head out there. Ive never been there but it looks like its pretty amazing when its really flowing. Should be soon with the snow melt coming up.

    Hundred series cruiser seat is probably the most comfortable I have sat in with an armrest, but I think they are all power so you would have to rig something up. For a car, the newest Prius seats are surprisingly comfortable to me. But not sure that would translate to truck positioning. I think you have the right idea using a Lexus car seat though

    You know this one really got me, and the pregnant chick that works in my office was asking if I was ok after a series of stifled chuckles and chortles. I'm really glad she didn't walk around the desk to see what was so funny.

    I should’ve noted the flow when we went. We were a day late behind some incredible numbers…. Still worth it!

    Isn't that the brand people have had snap in half or buckle? I swore I saw pics someone posted on here of some lift they ordered that buckled or snapped in half, and a couple others chimed in to say they had similar experiences.

    I think i know what pic you are referring to but I believe that was the old boss coilover, I haven't heard to much negative things about the aluma series. But who knows??

    Yes, same brand but this is a new line of shocks. They seem to be suspiciously similar construction to Elka.

    I have read rumors about them teaming up but can't find confirmation

    Rumor is good enough for me, it’s settled, they’re in cahoots

    Yeah, might be something like an Elka with a 700lb Eibach coil. Or the shock is valved to TT's specs. I don't know if Elka sources their springs from Eibach specifically for their complete coilovers like some of the manufacturers do too.

    Hopefully you have a much better experience, one of my disappointments with the Bosses was lack of heims, which these have. The rubber bushings didn't last at all in my case.

    I hope so too, fingers crossed...I had kings on my tacoma and loved them but with the tundra being the family truck/DD I didn't want to spend the $1300. Will keep you posted on how it goes

    I have seen some Elkas in action though and it looked like a nice ride. The only thing negative I've heard about them, but this seems to be because they are Canadian, is that they rust easy with salt. But that's gonna happen with any aluminum body shock including Blings.

    Parked on top of the tri-axle of crushed gravel that was delivered today, maybe because I stopped at the brewery and had a couple beers before I got home and was too lazy to rake it out.
