Dude, that is gonna be SICK! I hope you love the ride! Love that rig, ..... still totally trip on that unique Backwards striping... LOVE IT! At first, it doesn't even hit me, hahaha... Then I look again for some reason(triggers something in the brain I guess, lol).. and "Hey, that's right, he's got the 'Non-conforming' Stripes!"

Honest man... rig is looking GREAT!

Hah thanks Chef, I never noticed the stripes until it was pointed out to me. The only thing left to install is the torsions. Even with the rake I can feel it ride so much nicer.

Seized up? I know the OMEmu t-bars are thicker... So I thought there was some finagling you had to do when installing them... no? The ones you just bought are no good?

No the bolts that you adjust that are already on the car are too old and crap, therefore I have to go order some from the dealer. the t bars are good though

Well, I finally was able to get everything done.


The T-bars were not hard but gave some fight. Here is the finished product.

I totally agree, buddy! And, .... well, .... you could always grab an apt. in Lomita or something like that? lol... JK, I know you're where you're at as a sacrifice to get caught up, etc.,... but yep, would be cool

There's a couple others that I've met, recently, that stop me, "Hey, nice truck, what's that, what's what, what's that.... Did you hear about that?".... I point to the 'Yotatech' Sticker and tell them, ..."C'MONNNNNN, just get on there... It's only like a crack addiction that you'll never recover from or be cured of... but SO WHAT, RIGHT? We need support, eh?" hahahaha. They mostly have lived in Torrance...

Anthony1 lives just a couple miles from me(the 3.4 swapped BEAST SAS 2nd Gen 4Runner? VERY good dude!
