    All you need is a new engine! Happy New Year!

    Ok the last couple days have been fun filled going back and forth with everyone involved. The "extended warranty" is through a company called Guardian (do NOT recommend them) and they sent their inspector to look at the engine. Even though their warranty says bumper to bumper and does cover all...

    All you need is a new engine! Happy New Year!

    He did say that the damage was repairable, however the cost of labor and parts was so close that it was his recommendation to get a new/different short block. I have been in contact with the dealer I bought it from and the extended warranty is going to cover SOME of the parts and labor. We have...

    Yes it's another lift question? Fitting 285/70's

    I have almost the exact setup your looking to get, I did have to get wheel spacers due to a wheel fit issue and Im glad I did. The ONLY thing I had to trim was about 2-3 inches off the inside plastic on the front bumper. Oh and take my front mud flaps off.

So over the past few days I have been packing and preparing for my move to Colorado. This morning I pack up my life (aka...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    I agree 100%, Just got the same setup on my 05 SR5 no extra load front or rear, rides much more like a truck should, takes the "swaying" out of the ride quality. new rims and tires go on today!!

    Toytec front springs question

    Im considering a Toytec 3" lift kit (not the ultimate, the $399.00 one) and am confused as to what springs to get in the front. Right now I think the stock "drive" and "feel" are much to soft for me so should I get medium strength springs front and rear? I may end up getting an ARB bumper down...
