I have called this principle, by which each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term of Natural Selection.
Charles Darwin

She arrived, October of 2010, completely out of sorts in her environment. She had a timid voice, short, stubby legs, and was very shy.

(I don't have any pictures of her stock...)

She found her voice with a FIAAM el Grande Horn, and Vespa scooters stopped making fun of her.

She got bigger, with more room to store things (in this case, veterinary medical supplies)


After swimming for a few months, she developed legs.


With those new legs, she was able to swim faster, but still was shy.


After lounging on the ocean floor for a week, she allowed her legs to settle in, and she found a new set of shoes floating by. She grabbed these shoes and headed out on her own onto the land.

Then she decided that since she was American now, she would get a few glamor shots taken, then show a little flex.


Specs:
3" Toytech ultimate lift, OME 895 Coils rear
Pre lift height (measured from hub to marked highest point on wheel flare)
LF 19 3/4 RF 19 1/2
LR 21 1/2 RR 21 1/4
Post Lift
LF 23 1/2 RF 23 1/2
LR 24 RR 24

a week past "settling" were 1/2 inch lower than previously measured on all corners.
Alignment details (this was performed by an extremely talented mechanic and was verified by 2 other technicians)

PRE
L -0.01 Camber R 0.8
L 0.08 Caster R 0.08
L 0.95 Toe R 0.98

AFTER

L -0.1 Camber R -0.05
L 1.0 Caster R -0.7
L 0.00 Toe R 0.05

Alas, UCA are now ordered and on their way.

Looks great with 1 minor exception. An Aggie in Austin? bah. Hook'Em Horns!!
(Can you tell I'm a UT Graduate yet?)

Can't help it! Even longhorns grads deserve good vet care... Actually a little southwest of Austin but technically still close enough where I can smell the burnt orange! :dammit:
 
Hmmm, just noticed you're in the same town with the same exact ride...except for that sticker. How dare you deface a T4R that way!? Kidding.

Stop and wave next time-- I'm over in Bee Cave. I want to run over to "Hidden Falls adventure park" in Marble falls one day soon and look over a couple of local trails.
 
Crazy, the company I work for is looking at a site in Bee Cave to develop. We just built a few commercial buildings in Cedar Park as well. Small world.

I'm actually on my way to Austin to hang out for the weekend. Leaving in about an hour or so. :hello:

Bee Cave is growing like crazy. They just built a 1.3 million (total) square foot galleria outdoor mall across the street from my practice, four golf courses (3 private) within a few miles, Lambro's, Ferrari's, Bentleys, etc. all over the place here, especially on the weekends. My practice has a starbucks within throwing distance, and on the weekends it looks like an exotic car dealership.
Regardless-- if you make it down to Bee Cave, I'm on the corner of Hwy 71 and Bee Cave Rd-- just stop on in. :thumb3:
