A bit more progress today. Might be able to make another short drive tomorrow. Have about 3 hours of work to make it road worthy again.







 
Well I've decided to sell the WRX. Already bought a big boy truck to replace it.





 
Congrats, you will love that truck, I know I do. Is that the SLT or the laramie? 05 or 06? Wheels look like an 05 and the 06 Laramie has a different bumper.

You will probably want to jump on some traction bars, these things get horrible wheel hop.

Here is mine after the leveling kit, don't mind the mess.

It's a late '04 so it has the higher output motor. It's a Laramie Sport. Already has a leveling kit on it, if it needs traction bars they'll be coming from http://www.pmfsuspension.com/ Truck is bone stock as far as the drivetrain, which was my biggest concern. If it's going to get worked over, I want to be the one to do it.
 
Take it out to the dirt and gas it, that will tell you right away if you need them. I bought mine in the middle of hunting season and was disappointed on the washboard roads. Couldn't get traction to save my life and I wasn't screwing around, that was just trying to move.

I am the same way that if it is gonna get anything I want to be the one to do it. I've done Banks exhaust so far and my leveling kit with new shocks. Don't know how far I want ot go with this one, it already has more power than I need.

How many miles on yours?
 
111K miles and no leaks that I can tell.
 
I just hit 140.

Pickup up an 04 Today for another work truck but it's got the hemi and is a single cab.
 
Made it all the way to work in the T yesterday.



I left at Daylight to avoid traffic, sure was cold, but no issues and the car ran great.
 
We need a picture on the freeway doing 70 mph?

The engine and gear box would probably do that, but the tires would fall off and I'd **** my pants long before that.
 
Somebody else who needs to give us an update. How's the T coming along?
 
I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off between work and extra curricular activities. Took the car on it's first endurance run about 2 weeks ago. We had 22 cars and went 127 miles. Wickenburg to Prescott and back.

 
Thats awesome, anyone have any issues?
 
2 cars broke down the day before the race and 3 had issues the day of. My card did well. Came in 2nd to last because we ran way too fast. We averaged roughly 40 mph the whole trip and I drove slow on the last leg to try and gain some time.
 
No work on the garage recently, but I've been busy with the cars and jobs. Started a new job officially in October so it's kept me on my toes.

Going to pick this up this weekend from Texas


Finished the rear 4 Link on the Tacoma






With the bed back on




From inside the bed
 
Bout time you showed up, Havasu was just putting his boots on and forming a rescue party. Well, he thought it was just a party...;)
 
About time you showed up in here!
 
That is a super awesome link setup, I love how you kept the bed. Most of the time everyone just fills the bed with tube.
 
Yep, it was 100% my goal to make it as bolt on as possible just in case I wanted to change anything and to keep the bed as much as possible, which I pretty much accomplished. It rides like a dream as well.

Sad part is, it still all has to come back apart to be prepped and powder coated.
