@kasnerd My sister's husband had a 20L he was no longer using. Already cleaned out with soap and water. Just letting it completely air dry before putting in the substrate.

Now my Ally has a new home.

Been a marathon of a day but we're finally at the finish line for @SlashX front, uppers, lowers, shocks. Rear leafs and shocks.

my eyes playing tricks with me or does that bed / cab gap look like a bent frame?

Eyes are probably playing tricks on you but I'll let Oscar chime in whether it was in a wreck or not. It was his dad's truck.

That rig’s parked there more often than not on Carlsbad Blvd. I’m guessing they work at the food joint near Cessy’s called Park 101

The only one I’m familiar with is Juanita’s on Coast Highway. I don’t make it down there too often.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it is a fairly small kind of mom and pop place right on the corner. They have/had really good food. That was a while back though.

But yeah, that's about the only Mexican place I can think of as well... good food.

I think it’s a bad angle.
No major accidents.

Cessy’s was good, not legit Mexican but it was good. I’m assuming he works at park 101. Ride height was insane. Idk why people think they need to max out the droop travel just for sweet ride height lol

Yeah, just found it by scrolling on G map and it is the same one as @Dezert4Runner is talking about. That's the one I know and has/had good food.

Yeah it’s jacked way up and evident that it’s not a practical offroad ride height. That was my first thought when I saw it too.

When you're about to die from heat stroke then Asian shows up to help finish up the easy parts.

Huge thanks to @Itaro for showing up on a random day off and helping us hash out the leafs.

Also fuck fox for sending the rear shocks with the wrong bushings. No pics but I ended taking a flap dish to shave off the rubber, otherwise that shit wasn't going to fit.

And I know I’m saving some chunk on labor costs but man.
I already had a long ass work week;
So Monday truck decided to jump around with engine temps (never did overheat but just to play it safe)
Turns out radiator cap was old; then decided just to replace everything (radiator, tstat, water pump all where original factory)
Also changing oit idler pulleys, tensioner
Might go buy another alternator in the morning since it’s already off.

Driving back up to June lake in 2 weeks so I want the truck to run at peak performance especially since we’ll be towing a travel trailer





This as far as I got tonight since I had other plans during the day :facepalm:
