    Creek side camping?

    Steering Rack is Toast

    Exactly my thoughts on this. Many people out there are also unaware of the Magnuson-Moss warranty act. The dealers will try to scare you saying "oh you installed a lift so we cannot cover that under warranty" and most people buy into this end up paying for the repair. You have the legal right to...

    Alignment shop and Lift installer My dad and I have been going to Hank/Vodies for the last 25 years. They have a regular digital alignment rack and still use bubble gages for the tougher jobs like lifted trucks. They can install lifts and sell their own brand of spacer lifts. I took an old Ford...

    Creek side camping?

    Great thread. There are lots of places up the 395 starting in Lone Pine which is 240 miles from here. Most are tree lined and the sites are right on the creeks. This campground is a little further north between Independence and Big Pine.

    No machine alignment shop

    They don't do appointments but open every day at 7:30am M-F. If you get there right when they open he will usually run you right through. It takes an hour or so. They will use the machine first but if you are lifted and cannot be dialed into spec then they will break out the hand tools. For the...

    So who's got rattles?

    My stock 2011 T4R also had a lot of rattles and never saw dirt. The new 2015 is very quiet so far but that may change after this coming weekends trip to the desert.

    No machine alignment shop

    I believe he gets $80-$85 for an alignment which is the same as most places. Had them install my Icon c/o's and dakar leafs on my Tacoma last year and that included an alignment for $400 OTD. They are very fair and do great work(one tip is to get there early in the am as they get super busy)...

    No machine alignment shop

    I'm late to this thread but if anyone needs alignment help in the OC, Vodies in Garden Grove is the best. They have a rack and also use the old style bubble gauges when needed for our lifted trucks. Vodie?s Alignment & Brakes - 7 Photos & 35 Reviews - Auto Repair - Garden Grove, CA - Yelp

    Can one use factory rigid running boards as a jack point?

    They are not rigid enough and they are only bolted on. You need sliders to be able to use a hi-lift.
