Um, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but you REALLY need to find a new place to get your car aligned.

Lol. I'll give them one more shot, and be specific about not touching the front camber. If they do something that I don't like, then I'll find another place.

I replaced the factory front and rear seat upholstery with new leather from LeatherSeats.com last week:



Really happy with it. I spread the work across 3 days and it took ~12 hours total. @The Racers Line was kind enough to let me use his shop and tools to get the work done.

Looks nice and comfy. Did you add more padding to it? I've been meaning to find an upholstery shop who can add some additional lumbar support but have been thinking of doing it myself.

Inappropriate Verizon business rep phone exchange..

rep: Where is the person going?
me: Sweden and Germany
rep: Ohh, that sounds fun!
me: Yep, wish it was me!

Lol! I knew someone was going to comment about that. I pulled up and parked just for this pic.

Ironically this is one of the first times I've ever seen this truck NOT taking up multiple spots.

Crazy. Who did the alignment? Did you ask about non-oem specs beforehand?
