Do you have something holding the top of the Spring up? Flex looks awesome, BIG improvement.

Nope, I got coil spring retainers. Its just wedged in there i guess 
And yes, BIG improvement. I didnt lose any traction like I did before, super easy to back out and get to that flexing point.

Curious about this too, since the spring normally unseats on the top rather than the bottom. Thus the top coil retainer. Did you twist the coil into the right position? there should be a little wall like spot on the bottom isolator that the coil end goes against. But either way, looks like you got your flex right and it looks great....

Lol, hey whatever works right? I got the lower spring retainers, just need to put them in.. and im tired and lazy 
Well, some updates.. I ordered new rear tail lights, cause my bulb sockets inside are all ****ed up for some reason.. and I dont have any running lights but I have brake lights, so no driving in the mornings and at night 
Also! I called a guy off craigslist about making a front bumper. Its a raw cost of 300 for the metal and fabrication, and then for add ons like the D-rings, winch mount (I think), and blinker lights, will cost a little bit more. I would also get a small stinger, just to hold some lights or for pushing brush away.  so stay tuned..
I love having a fulltime job

I have kind of thought about talking to this guy about getting a simple front made, that is a pretty good price.

Yeah, I saw the toyota in person at my job site.. and wow they look sooooo nice, especially for the price. I really like the blinkers, in person they look a ton better than they do in pictures, they have that rubber around them and it looks sleek.
