Can't answer for anyone else but it's been a busy couple of days here at work, not much time for TMSing.
heading out to Irwindale later today to check out racing and pick up my SCT from ST Motorsports. Anyone else want to meet up, just give me a yell.

I have no idea. I'm just glad he didn't quit or something. 
Danny is supposed to call him and see when he's due back.
Nice George! 
But I see no mention of your POTR pals in the article..
(j/k..
)
New yob + mo money = Whipple
Sounds like you really like that hogarden! I'll be mixing up a Half & Half tonight during the new Three Sheets episode on MOJO!

That's awesome George. Congrats.
Just finished the first of my projects in the near future. Put on the GT front with the CDC chin and a Bullitt grille. Here's the before and afters...
I still need to install the lower grille, but it's essentially done.

Congrats George That's really cool.
Congrats Leo more mod money
Kyle - Looks great
I kinda like it without the lower grille 
New set-up sure gives the car a mean look 
Ranting here: Fedex =
Spoiler was supposed to come in today. I go online, check the status of the spoiler only to see that "an attempt was made." I was here at the time stated. There was no way I could miss it and to top it off, no door tag. I call it BS. 
I'll have to go out of my way tomorrow to pick it up. I've never had a problem with Ups
They just usually leave it at the door. Which I prefer
Okay. Done ranting
On a lighter note... I plan to order the following mods this month:
LCA's (going with the billet LCA's from Steeda)
Motor mounts (what's a good choice here? Prothane? Steeda?)
Swaybars (I know they're needed... Leo
but should I bother getting beefier ones? Maybe just the rear? Or are both a good idea? Leo's opinion need not apply here )

Leo's opinion need not apply here )I actually like it without the lower grille too, but it does look incomplete if you see it up close. If there weren't brackets and holes there, I would probably have left it be.
I've had the same problems with shipping companies before too. It's even worse living in an apartment complex and they don't know what the hell to do. I'm sick of dealing with all the shipping companies. Good luck.
I'm going to be putting on LCAs and the anti-squat brackets soon as well. I got both for $95 shipped.
I'll be putting in sways too. Going with a GT front bar with Steeda endlinks and a Hellwig adjustable rear.
In other news, Brandon Ford decided to detail my car after painting the roof and pretty much ruined all of the polishing I had done to it a few months ago. All kinds of swirls all over and monster buffer trails on the roof where they painted. What a mess, I hate dealerships.

Billet Steeda.. very nice! But then again, I'm a little partial to them.
Motor mounts.. Prothanes
Sways.. most aftermarket ones are the same size as stock, make sure to measure before ordering.

For the drag guys..
This is the World's Fastest Electric Dragster. You really don't hear anything except the huge tires skipping over the asphalt.
Watch the 'Christmas Tree' lights go to green and the dragster leap into action. It might be electric but it wastes no time hurtling through the 1/4 mile for a stupidly-fast time of 7.63 seconds.

Sounds funny imo.. it's missing that V8 sound.

So about the sways - is it worth it to get front and back? Or just rear?
I'm looking at either the bmr or steeda pieces. What's the stock measurements for the front? Thanks for the heads up Bill I'm kinda leaning toward just getting the rear now, but I still want to run my choice through you guys Jed - I know. Whipple's on hold

I just got raped!
At the gas pump. Man Cali gas for regular is $4.35 on average out here. Kids I don't think things are going to improve anytime soon. So I am considering (again!) This baby... Don't worry the Roush isn't going anywhere except 120 mph on the on ramps I'll be like Dr Jeckle & Mr Hyde.

If the vert's bars are the same as ours, then..
Front: 34-mm tubular stabilizer bar
Rear: 20-mm solid stabilizer bar
Getting a black Prius to match?
Expect to get raped in the worst way when trading in your Highlander. Pam only got $4k for her 2000 4Runner with less than 100k miles.
With that said, I think we just found our new ride to Vegas!
