Not vandalism...you hit something. Yes that sucks but from the weather checking...those babies were about ready to trade out anyway.
Ha yeah I know. I'm just really confused as to how that didn't completely blow on me WHILE I was driving. A hole that big doesn't pass air slowly.

When you go out to the parking lot and your T4R's ass is sagging more than normal, it's usually a flat tire. Completely flat tire.

With a hole on the inner sidewall big enough to stick a finger through.

How the hell this did not blow on me during my 1+Hr drive to the office this morning is beyond me. That should have been a bomb.

Maybe vandalism?

That tire looks pretty old. Vandals don't normally jack up tires on an inner sidewall. Just looks like it was that tire's time to go. Besides, the Three Stooges would say that it was only flat on the bottom.

Time for some ture shopping.
 
Do it. The 231mm TBU is so much better than stock - more pedal feel AND more stopping power when you need it. I also upgraded to stainless steel lines front and rear to minimize any sponginess that's a fairly common complaint, but my brakes feel just as linear as stock (with no fade pretty much ever).

Nice..so you replaced all? rotors, calipers, pads and lines....

So I decide to stop by my local park and try my come along, I figure I'll get it buried in 2wd and use the come along to pull me out, if it doesn't work I'll just put it in 4wd and crawl out.

Well the 8k harbor freight come along snapped, luckily I had my shirt on the line and I didn't die. So I say fuggit I'll just go home, so I pop it in 4wd low and the front sinks, my arrogance got the better of me lol so I air down and dig with my tiny shovel and nothing, still buried. Finally I figure I'll try my hi lift and viola pulled me right out. I had to pull from behind cause I didn't have enough line from the front. I'll be ordering the winch attachment for it. It looks sketchy but it wouldnt budge on the nose. Wish I had more pics but I was out of breath and wanting to get home lol

Not necessarily what I did... Got my tracking number for my CBI Taco kit bumper and ditch light brackets. Ordered last Tuesday and expected ship date was March 10th. Im like a kid in a candy store now.
 
Oil change, trans drain/fill, tire rotation, tightened A/C and Alt belts to eliminate squeal.

I just did the same to my belts to find they look orignal and about to fall apart. I was scared to touch them or tighten them. LOL. Ordered up some Bando replacements and they will be going on this weekend after I fix a buddies LCA failure on his V8 Thunderbird. Hope I have enough time on Sat to get it all done. Tired of the squeal and I'm sure my neighbors are also. HAHA.
 
Decided to finally fix the rear window won't roll down. Replaced the rear window motor cleaned off the regulator of grease and dirt and re greased with lithium damn window still won't roll down.......
 
Saturday/Sunday combo got the rack bushings, sway bar bushings, and LBJ's swapped out. LBJ's were super easy and I am glad I did them, the driver's side was pretty hard to move by hand, passenger side seemed smooth...likely the originals since recall on a 1999 with 235k.

Make sure the window lock switch isn't engaged. Then check for power at the motor. Try with key on the tailgate, switch and remote. Might be broken wires in the tail gate harness.
