Actually it is still pretty dang straight. The camber is a little positive. If I looked a bit more at the geometry before creating the brackets, I could have accounted for that, but it's not enough to be an issue.
Tomorrow I have to cut the stabilizer links and weld in an extension, as they are about 4" too short now. |

yeah - the first video of Crashy pushing around snow will be EPIC.
I seriously think Toyota should be paying for this.

Crashy moves some dirt!
No snow yet, but with the plow frame and suspension mods complete I had to try it out. So, I decided to scrape up the garden a bit.
I gained plenty of ground clearance to be able to drive Crashy up the hill behind the garage to get to the garden: I was amazed as to how well Crashy pushes the plow. Since the plow isn't hydraulic, it's only down pressure is its own weight, so it doesn't dig deep. Still, going across the garden it was dropping into low spots and popping rocks out of the ground. The tires never slipped, even though it was a bit muddy from the rain we had the past couple of days. Here's a little video clip: |

Best Yaris ever. A smoke stack exhaust up the passenger's side would be awesome!
