Got my alignment today. Steering wheel is back to the center but haven't driven it much to feel the difference. How do these numbers look?
which auto shop gives you a print-out like that with a visual diagram which is actually useful?

haha.. I'm pretty handy with the right tools. However, motor work is not my expertise. Suspension and steering components are no problem for me. Yours took about the same amount of time from when ya got to my house to when ya left. Then again, we talked for a while. No problem though, need anything just holler! Nice meeting you.
Yea, I have heard they can cause some sweating and if you're wearing shorts it can pinch your leg hair. Not too worried about it though. I'm in no means a big sweaty guy and I wear pants nearly year round lol. I have to for work. Thanks for the heads up though and compliment. I can't wait to get them.
I got it done at Firestone as well. I didn't have to ask for it, it was just included. I would have asked for it otherwise. Most places should give you a print out.

No, SOR only has them for land cruisers that I'm aware. I thought maybe you had a set on your 80 and they fit your 3rd gen too. I'll have to check around for the 3rd gen tuff ducks.
Sorry ARKRWLR for the thread jack.

hahaha! Good questions, I CAN'T!
Actually.. I graduated from college last December and I am a Mechanical Drafter for an Engineering firm. I worked as an alarm/security technician while in school for a couple years. So, I've always had money to live on. My ONLY hobby these days is working on my truck. That includes buying stuff for it, too. Aside from my everyday bills (including the girlfriend lol) and some put aside for savings, whatever spare money I have, and can afford, usually just goes towards the truck. It's not all roses all the time though, I do have priorities
I'm not gonna lie, buying those new 35's KICKED MY ASS. I had to recoup and lay low after that lol.
Luckily my bday is right around the corner, and since my mom's side of the family lives out of the country and never see me, they usually make me all warm and fuzzy with big checks in the mail. and no you can't have my address :flipoff:

So I guess I'll share what media I do have. It was the biggest event I've been to, with over 100 trucks there. A few friends made it up there Friday, but I had to work. So come Friday night the rain really set in till morning, making EVERYTHING slick. The others were only single locked so we rode some easier trails till noon. Then we piled in my 4Runner and another friends SAS'd taco and set out to do some of the harder trails but because of the rain it was making everything difficult. I managed to take my time though and escape with no damage or breakage
. With only a couple vehicles (me included) on the harder stuff we didn't get many pics. I'm still waiting to see if the other riders got any media. Ok, well on with it!!
Stuck lol
So I eventually made it up this.. It was just so slick the guy videoing had to stop and help spot. I was going so slow cus I didn't want to break anything. Was a really fun and tough trail though. Had many 1-2 ft steps to get over.

Almost forgot! When I got home, my rear wet okole's had came in. So after I unpacked everything I decided to put them on. Lucky, I already had the bottoms out from camping in the 4Runner all weekend. I'm very happy with how they turned out. Just seems like I'm driving a whole new truck.

Man those trails were so slick, it looked like you were driving on ice. What PSI were your running in your tires?

Thank ya sir!
It felt like it! Almost every trail was like this. This was the top part of the trail. The bottom part is a big ass slate slab and it was a pain in the ass as well. I probably could have just gone a little faster and made it easier but like I said, I was really trying not to break anything lol. I think they were around 14 or 15. Usually run anywhere from 12-15.
