I agree, I'm not the biggest fan of pecans, I prefer cashews and wasabi almonds.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Apparently the 06+ LT has a different windshield with a trim package, so its special order... :wallbash:

Interesting. I priced a new windshield for my 06 and never asked anything about LT or LS or even SS... price is $150 w them coming to my house to do it.


All 3 places I went asked if it was a LT, finally asked the last place what the difference was.
Was told there is special trim around the windshield and the mirror mount is different.

Quotes ranging from $255-$340

I swapped wheel hubs once without removing a tire.

Wouldn't you need to take the tire off to access the brake bolts? Or at the very least take the tire off to get to the spacer and put them both on the new hub? :scratch:

In February, my neighbor and I pushed my TB into my garage to examine and possibly repair the driveshaft issue.

Today, I drove it out of the garage!!! Yes, drove it out! Tomorrow, when its not raining, I'm going to test drive it up and down my street. Its going to bounce all over the road with the stock suspension and no sway bars... but I should be able to see if the transmission and transfer case are OK.

It sat in my driveway for a while. Other things were going on and I didn't have the time to put into it back then.

I went to a flat rack and will likely sell the basket due to the cost of the lowered aerodynamics. I would make it as short as possible myself, but others may have differing opinions.

you have to think about what you are going to put up there and how well you plan to tie stuff down.
