    Switched back to the stock AFM and am now pushing 10+ psi of boost, so I think I shall keep it this way. I haven't had much time to work on the truck, but need to soon. I have been having trouble starting when parked for a few days. I've been having to jump terminals for the fuel pump to get things started. I've also been having battery drain issues (temporarily solved with a solar trickle charger on the dash).

    I used to have a tool box mounted in the bed of the truck, but took it off to put a camper shell on. The toolbox had been sitting in between my truck and my garage, and it was filled with a bunch of original parts from the truck and a bunch of tools. Last week I went to go to work and noticed that my toolbox was missing. Some asshole stole it. A lot of the parts I kept in there are irreplaceable 22RTE specific parts, and I also had my jack and jack stands in there.

    Damn bro.. that sucks! I feel your frustration, they recently hit me too. Keep your head up, all that is replaceable, even if it feels like it's not.

    That really sucks dude. Security cameras are a great investment if you're storing things outside

    I ordered some drop spindles, so it is time to redo the front end.

    New spindles are here, and I am rethinking a lot of things. brakes, shocks, UCAs, tie rod ends/ steering components. It all adds up, don't it?

    Ball joints and tie rods alone are a good chunk on their own

    Recommend either powder coat or por-15 ur drop spindles.

    Have u thought of going coilover conversion for the front and eliminate the torsion bars? Just curious.

    I am definitely considering coilovers... and a bigger brake upgrade. The problem is that there is this stuff called money, and those upgrades take a LOT of that money stuff of mine and give it to other people.
