Looks good! Does it drive nice and straight with the UCA's? The shop I took mine too had trouble and it pulls to the right without it killing my tires. I also got 5* of caster lol. Planning on setting up an appointment next week for a different shop.

Yesterday, but I got out to Mt Hood and enjoyed this nice drizzly fall weather

It 'might' be pulling to the right a tad. I'll get on the highway tomorrow and see for sure. Honestly it rides 100% better than my lifted FJ did so it's hard to complain, lol. I didn't notice any bumpsteer or any other weird stuff.
eta: The alignment tech did run into a problem with the traction control light staying on. He followed the directions on the hunter alignment machine, but it wouldn't reset. I ended up getting it to reset following directions I found here on the forum (thank god...I hate going to the stealership, lol)

I'll grab one tomorrow. I was a hair worried that they would look too 'tucked in' but they look fine to me. I don't get too worked up over aesthetics if things work. ;-)

Installed my Front Runner Monsoon bag, holds my Front Runner Expander Chairs, ARB Annex and I think I may even throw the Skottle into it.
Also added the Blue Ridge Overland Gear Cooking Bag........now I just need to find miniature sized utensils that fit that thing, LOL

Good to know. I guess I'll expect some pull then. I'm kinda battling the steering wheel to keep it straight for city driving. Not too bad for highway though.

Its a Goal Zero Yeti 400. They also make a lighter "lithium" version but the lithium version is a lot more expensive. It works very well! I bring it up to my Roof Top Tent or if I am Hammock camping I'll bring it over, so I can use my laptop, charge my phone, etc.

I'm still on the fence. It feels like it might be pulling right a hair, but the roadways I drove this morning weren't the best, lol. I don't have any city driving, but on rural roads it feels ok. I'll try again on a highway this evening or tomorrow.

Looks good, waiting in mine to arrive. They said they were shipping Friday, but still haven't heard anything yet.

I don't quite understand why people censor their license plates on this forum.
Don't they drive down public streets with them?

Three days turns into five! My mechanic didn’t read the torque specifications for the rims so he broke several wheel bolts by over cranking them. He then assumed the lug nuts were wrong so he tried to order alternate ones. The story then gets fuzzy since he first said the order got canceled at the warehouse because the nuts were out of stock. He then turned around and said they came in, but were the wrong kind. Finally he must have reread the torque specs, since he put the original ones one and suddenly they were just fine. When I picked up my truck he tried to blame everything on Toyota and even suggested the wheel nuts were undersized and defective. As I was getting read to pay the bill, he said he did me a favor and didn’t charge parts and labor for the wheel bolts that HE broke. Time to find a new mechanic.

Nice, you won't be disappointed. I'd definitely get washers for the hardware they provide, the heads are hardly large enough for the slots they cut.
