My truck does not look like this everyday, it took its roof off this afternoon.
The old Yota is looking to do some work like a truck again. The job at hand is a fantastic one, as the Yota is ready to carry my stuff from the apartment to the house. Thats right, I am fanally a Home-owner, and my Yota will finally have a garage it can call its own.

I am the only one who is complaining about the ride quality, so there my be some other issue related to my truck. I suspect the issue is the shocks at the moment, but maybe its my T-bars. When I first installed the Long-travel the ride was awesome, but the T-bars settled on the bump stops just a week later. After the T-bars settled, I cranked them up at 10 degrees, which give the same up travel as down. Since cranking the T-bars to 10 degrees the ride has been stiff. It would be great if all I had to do was get some stock replacement T-bars too fix the issue.

Since your runner is the same weight in the front as my pick-up, the runner will ride the same as my pick-up.

Yes the shocks I posted up would work fine, for the rears. your runner is only 100lb heavier then my pick up with the rear seat and removable top. those shocks are rated to handle a loaded pick-up, and many members use those exact shock on their own rigs with great results.

I just hope to get some wrenching done to the Yota this summer, as my summer is pretty full already.
4 day weekend starts in one day.

Well it is official everyone, my rig is gone. It has been three weeks since my yota was stolen from my driveway. I still have parts, such as the T-case/ Cross-member and drive-train lift bits. I am planing to look for an 89-95 Extended-cab SR5 pick-up with a 22re in a few months. I am planing to build another rig, and I will be headed in the same direction with the new build as I was with this past one.
Rest is piece Long-bed, because I am sure you are currently in pieces.

Yes this is troubling! I can't believe two Blazeland rigs stolen in August. I have had a couple of people contact me about buying missing components for used Blazeland Kits, but their story about who, what, where, when, all checked out. The only exception was with a guy in Australia who contact me about a used kit he bought and was looking for T-100 CV axles (unobtainable down under). His story seemed bunk. I only sold one kit in Australia so its not to difficult to spot a BS story. I think he bought a knock off?
I do stamp some identification numbers on Blazeland components. If said items are up for sale then get all the information you can on the seller without arousing suspicion and get hold of Dark or Craves or me for verification. Lets get these loosers.
