Definitely small world!
I'm trying to remeber if I ate there. My wife and I usually went to Siam Garden on Nimitz across from Nico's.

pskhaat, I wish I took measurements of the suspension heights at stock, no lift OME, and pre Iron man coil spacer install. Here is the measurement with OME 850's and 1" Iron Man coil spacers measured from FRONT distance between bottom of plastic fender to hub center. Looks to be ~ 23 1/4". Anyone have #'s for stock and 850's?
I recommend anyone thinking of installing OME 850's to install a spacer at that time rather than later to prevent from having to go through the whole process an additional time.

Thai Island Taste was in the same shopping complex with Ewa Pointe Liquor store and KFC on fort weaver road. What brought you to the SB for Thai food from SD?

Yep, thats the spot. Thats our favorite Thai place. The one on main in SB is very good as well. For some people it's hit or miss for both though.
Thank you for your service and stay safe.

Sounds good. How does San O sound? or do you know of some better spots for camping and surfing within our region? What time frame our you thinking? Maybe the desert will be cooler.

I haven't done any real camping here yet. Last time I was really camping was in Maui.
We have sometime to figure it out, I won't be back until at least next June... Looks like you have found some great places already.

New Tires
I have word that my new tires are in :wings:. Who knew that buying tires would be such a thought provoking process. As much as I wanted to go big, I just could not justify the reasoning for my particular application at present time. I will have pics posted tomorrow.

Toyo MT 285's
Just got my tires installed and could not be happier with the outcome. Paid $228.32 per tire at Allen Tire Co. in HB:sombrero:... referenced TireCrawler.com for the price.
Nitto 295's vs Toyo 285's
Toyo Open Country MT
LT285/75R-16
Black Sidewall
Load Range = E
Max Load = 3740 lbs.
Tread Depth = 19/32
Overall Diameter = 33.0
The only things that I can really comment on about these tires for now... is that they are very damn good looking tires on an 80 and have just the right amount of hum while on the pavement.

loving the rig
curious what your height is to the top of the rack ? we have a short garage and we are wanting to pick up a LC and do a similar build style with flat rack not huge tires etc..
Thank you Guys... I'm hoping to get some more free time from the wife on the ending of Sunday and all day Monday to begin the bumper, snorkel, and finish the rest of my PM installations. That accident really threw a curve into my leave time. We were planing a Laurel Lakes trip and being down to just the LC, I didn't want to start anything and not be able to finish or have something unexpected come up during maintenance and mods. Every things has been delayed a bit.
Honu, I will get back to you on the height of my LC from ground to highest point and height of my garage for a better referance.
Some of you may wondering what we replaced the Prius with after the accident?
2000 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner TRD 164K miles and all stock. :ylsmoke: We just couldn't see buying new again. We will keep it stock and enjoy it as is. The boys fit in the back... one booster and one baby seat. They call it the firefighter seating.
Thanks for enjoying the read.:beer:
