    GoPro and their generic alternatives aren't terribly expensive. Make mounts just like your rear-rack mounted spots bro.

    Says those are 2.5” lift springs for a 98 limited 4Runner. And that’s when used with Eibach Pro-truck sport shocks. Wonder what the cross compatibility is for those.

    I was curious also. I ran the part number through Eibach's system, it comes back as just the springs, '96-'02 4R with MSRP at $225, so I figured $37 was about right.

    Then as I shopped around I saw , and I imagine there's an even wider compatibility out there. if I hunt.

    Anyway, if nothing else, as long as I can confirm the p/n is accurate, I can see flipping these for a few bucks added to my truck slush if I cant use, or giving away at-cost.

    I realize there's also a possibility someone got the Eibach pro sport lift kit and wasn't happy with the height of the springs included, and they may've pulled these out. We'll see!

    You're probably right, there is a lot of theft. But mainly of small stuff that fits in a pocket. Those depots are dripping with hidden cameras, but there's endless stupid people think if they don't see the camera, it don't see them.
    Right now, ton of stuff shipped, packaged like shit, not enough employees.... A ton of stuff ends up in piles in the re-wrap area, stuff busted open & usually when 1 box bursts open it causes a jam & a bunch of boxes get busted open & contents get all mixed. Re-wrap takes the best guess, but they need to get all that spilled stuff boxed & shipped & the floor clear. Wrong stuff ends up in boxes as fast as possible.

    When you get weird stuff like you got, look at the box & if it's obviously re-wrapped, that's probably what happened.
    When they steal out of a box, there's usually no tape gun handy, so stuff gets pulled out an edge with original tape still intact.
    IIRC, claims have to be filed by the shipper as they're the one who paid / has the 'contract' with the shipper.

    Today i drove my 1st gen Tundra jr. (keeping relevant to the thread)

    I thought flags went on the front so they'd be visible sooner as you approach the hilltop?

    Yeah, stopping takes some pre-planning. There were some other other areas I never got off the gas. It's definitely a different ride.

    They do go up front, or really high - especially for sand dunes where there is a lot of cross traffic and or speed. That one does add visibility, but it's more decorative/fun.

    Something very alien/extraterrestrial feeling about this. Cool drone footage, seriously.

    Definitely a Midwest photo if I’ve ever seen one. Hopefully the barn survives long enough to get the real family photo together. It’s stabilized. But unfortunately the houses are priority right now before the barn gets it’s renovation.

    My bro in law’s Freightliner has no clutch brake. So you learn to never stop or if you must, only on a decline. Good training for 2wd locker. I may have to get my ‘05 diff done.

    Man you crack me up. You will post here a lot and then flat out disappear for months at a time before resurfacing again. I think you've done this 3-4 times now.

    Shitttttt I've been trying to stay out of trouble and keep life's wheels rolling, may sound easy but 1 step forward and 2 backwards has become the norm. $4.60 a gallon of gas down in Florida means things are really bad out there, that's Cali money o_O

    I see we have some new members here in the 1st gen section, things must be really bad out there, people are starting to use there heads and common sense. The 1st gen is 1 of the most reliable trucks out there and can be had for far less cash than a trio of quality hookers and an 8 ball.
