Lift update:
5 weeks later and there has been no settling what so ever!
Front are both 23" from center of hub to fender.
Rear are both at 24.5" center of hub to fender.
However, the running boards are dead level! This is what I was after even though there is a 1 1\2" difference front to rear.

Yes, absolutely! I had a 29er next to mine on a road trip to Moab last fall. No problems at all.

I received T4r.org decals from Momo and Toyteclifts decals from Toyteclifts in the mail today. I also stopped by Toyteclifts on my way home and picked a diff drop kit and F and R sway bar bushings.
Maintenance mods and some promo placement items getting put on my T4r next week. :dancin:

I installed my new $15.00 bag O' LED's today! Wow, what a transformation. Might be the best $15.00 I have ever spent on my runner!!! All in all it took about 30 minutes to do including the license plate lights and trouble shooting a door light that wasn't plugged in at all...WTF??

The LED's were so bright I thought I'd tackle another project I've been putting off for years!!! The removal of my OLD as dirt Sirius radio FM modulator!!! What a PITA, but once again I can thank T4R.org for helping figure out how to take the radio out!!!
Next up is a mod to attatch my newer Sirius Sporster 5 so I can move it between cars. Hopefully before the family heads to Vail on Monday!
Thank you [MENTION=51779]zerowkul98[/MENTION] for posting a link on how remove the radio unit!!!

Out with the really old and in with the "sort of" portable newer. Replaced Sirius radio with another one, but is capable of moving between 2 cars! I plugged it in and even though subscription to this radio was cancelled 5 years ago it was still active!!!! Freebie means no transfer between cars! Sweet...
Turned out pretty well except for the glue explosion that got over the console door!!! Does anyone have ideas to get superglue off plastic?!?!? Oops...I've tried nail polish remover, a razor blade, warm soapy water, and rubbing alcohol so far.

Yes, and I think the color is awesome. I'm not seeing the "blue" that others complain about.

Seems like CA glue melts plastic, if you cant get it off with razor.
Maybe sand it flat and paint, or else cover it with some 3m vinyl wrap.
...I need a new radio. not really, want is a better term.
Some of these guy/gals are probably thinking... what is a tape deck?
Made a inside bike rack too, but yours is way better.
/cheers
Personally I see a very faint tint of blue but im not one to complain about it. It matches the paint.

Had a crappy day and needed to do something quick and fun so I belly crawled under my T4R to assess what I needed to do to install 1" diff drop. Got things figured out and kept on going by installing the spacers for front and gas tank skid.
To my surprise this part of my day actually went better then planned! Now...next step is to install the diff drop. Maybe in another 2 weeks I'll have the time to do it and I'll lift her so I don't have to belly crawl! :bluejump:
I also found a diagram for front differential information: Torque spec, for front differential mounting bolts, is 101 ft lbs.
